I've been real good this year!

Case in point: Darcie got a JOB! A real job that she is qualified for and might want to stay at for more than 2 days. Huzzah! I'll be copywriting at a small web publishing firm in downtown Austin, and I also get a sweet parking permit. It's like the past year has really paid off and meant something, which is almost ridiculous to think about but apparently true.

Also, my loverly boyfriend bought me a camera for XMAS, so now I can post obnoxious photos of my kitties being tot adorbs. FUN! Like this photo:

Also, because my bro works at Best Buy and decided to hook me up with a gift card for Christmas this year, I was able to pick up a brand NEW TV today. I haven't bought a new television since I was heading out for college in 2002 and needed a small set for my dorm room. I remember I spent a whopping 200 bucks at Wal-Mart and thought I was spending a fortune for a shitty 19 incher. Ha! It's like I'm a total grownup now. Weird, right?! Although I am completely happy with it, I have weird anxiety when I spend anything over $100. Maybe it's the pessimist in me. But, for someone who is seriously going steady with her DVR, it was completely necessary to have a TV I'm in love with, so I'm pretty happy.

Again, HUZZAH. What a great holiday.
