Sigh.

I got Snow Leopard, the new Mac OS for my computer. My parents tell me they got me other things, but they forgot them at the office. Same as last year. I discovered this when I brought my aunt to my sister's family's house for Christmas. To discover they'd all eaten long since, and most of the presents were already despatched. My mom insists they told me if we were running late, they'd start without us. She didn't. One of the gifts I bought my niece was way too old for her, so that goes away for later. The books I got her? She said she really prefers a different series. The adorable crocodile blanket and pillow set for my three- year-old nephew? He hit me across the face with it, and declared that he hated it. It goes back Monday.

Days like this, I wish I drank.
