Matt got me one of those turntables with a USB port that can convert all my old records which have been stored in the closet for 15 years into MP3 files! I am so happy! I'm sitting here listening to a recording of Malcolm Dalglish playing hammer dulcimer with Grey Larsen, circa 1977, which is just awesome! Yayayayaya!

I also got a truly kick-butt bumper sticker to add to my collection, courtesy of Lauri: TAILGATE ME AND ROLL FOR DAMAGE. Bwahahaha! She also loaded me down with tons of cool Fimo art and mosaic books for inspiration.

The kids, as usual, got too much stuff and lost interest several times; the cats enjoyed the tissue paper; much leftover turkey was consumed; a good time was had by all.
