Yesterday we did Christmas with the relatives. I was very, very close to not going, being sick of them. However, I caved. And, it was a good thing, too. The little kiddlet was a lot of fun to play with, there were actual presents this year, and my brother and his girlfriend showed up in the evening to play. E. (my sister) and I aren't sure if we should be scared or delighted that L.J. (the girlfriend) could be our sister; she's *exactly* like us. The good thing is that it made her extremely easy to shop for. Don't know if she likes slash yet, after I get to know her better, I'll direct her to the beauty that is Boone/Jack, since she watches Lost.
Very strange, though. Her sister knew me from a Mary Sue story that I have online from a million years ago. As in, when L.J. told her my brother's last name, she knew it because of the story.
Anyway, now I'm back home and trying to work on COTW 48. I had to do a sudden, major revision and have been dragging me feet about getting it done. I don't think I'll get the fic out before Christmas, which makes me sad. Hopefully by New Years. But, at least it's long.
And I got Christmas Cards from
neb_het and
sam_gamgee. Thanks ladies!
