Oh No! Congrats on the win. My family all chipped in together to get me a used DVD. My Hubby felt sorry for me since he knew I'd never liked the movie so he got me a used DVD that I liked.. LOL... They all meant well...And I'm happy that they tried... I'm going to make them all watch my DVD's with me... LOL...

hmmm, most of these are good gifts, but what's up with the girlie books? ok, now I see, my mind had gone to girlie magazines, but now I am thinking you simply meant books that appeal to women!! I enjoyed seeing your list, sweetie. The closest yours came to being like my list was on your day ten. Hope you had a GREAT Xmas. Congrats on your win!
