Required Goodies List

Before forget them all, here's the haul for the year
From the Boy:
- new bridle and a carry bag for it
- tack box
-various brushes and hoof picks and general horse stuff
-a variety of watercolors I didn't have, including a cadmium red that I will undoubtably poison myself with.
- two new detail brushes of the brand I adore but don't buy myself cause I'm a cheapskate
- a copy of the Nightmare Before Christmas
- many many many games and expansions for the both of us

Gifts I got for the Boy
- a jigsaw that he's been wanting and "hinting" at for months, if you can call emailing me the web store with the lowest price and shipping "hinting".
- a set of mortising chisels
- a wood moisture movement guide
- a set of books about tuning hand tools
- some music
- a PS1 and a copy of Squares, both of which got much use this holiday season. For those of you who don't know, Squares is really Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and is the BEST game ever created for the Playstation. Really. I said so.

From Other People
Mom - electric clippers for my horse and a Sears gift card for the Boy. He bought more hand tool type stuff with it.

Leslie and Todd - a hand made stuffed ferret that my monsters promptly attacked. Silly rats were treating it like a real ferret.

Chris and George - chocolate body paint, one of the Boy's socks (post torture), and something else I can't remember.

The girls at the barn (w/ the Boy's help) - a synthetic saddle. The saddle part is real, its just the material that's synthetic. Very very light weight and it's survived every pace I know how to put it through...walk/trot/canter/gallop/crash.

Okay, that's pretty much everything I can remember.

the third thing was a set of those clear plastic cards from bed bath and beyond. they looked cool in the store, but were actually pretty hard to use when we tried them out. :-\
