They were everything that I hoped that they'd be and then some.

I was stopped three times in J. Crew with the, "Where did you find those?!" and I can still feel my toes after packing on a dozen shopping bags and a slice of Copeland's chocolate cake. If that's not success, than I don't know what is.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
And when I was at Copeland's I got recognized.
It's only the second time it's happened in public, that someones come up to me all, "Um, so I read this blog, and, uh, are you by chance..." And I think to myself, HOLY EFF DO I HAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE IN MY TEETH?! IS MY HAIR BRUSHED?!

Because I think eff instead of fuck even in my own head. Because there is something wrong with me.
(SIDE NOTE: If you go to Copeland's on Southside Boulevard in Jacksonville and you are served by Megan The Interior Design Student About To Graduate, tip her well. She might even bring you biscuits out before your entree if you tell her you're starving. Because she's down like that.)

And speaking of interweb related tidbits, guess who got a new laptop for Christmas?

I know. The Nikon AND the laptop and tons of other stuff that left me screaming, "TELL ME YOU GOT THIS ON SALE BECAUSE I AM HYPERVENTILATING." He done did skippety. I'm all high tech and shiz now. Whoa. Nelly.
But don't think that I let his gifts spank mine entirely.
I got him this.

Those Master Bedroom lamps don't mix well with my Tyrannosaurus Rex arms and that other person in the bed falls asleep in four seconds.
It's the best gift EVER, which I know because he smiled when I told him about the surprise trips I booked, but when he got this he leaped over the Christmas tree and said, "Nooo?! Yes! Where did you find this?! OHMYGOD. Let's install it!!!" And then he shrieked and did the splits MJ style.
Not kidding.

Perhaps the best holiday blog post I've read in the past two weeks.
"He done did skippety."
I heart you.
I was once recognized at a bar when I was loudly talking about my armpits smelling like a hippie. So embarrassing.
I finally graduated back from college, and I'm back to having time to stalk you.
I was NOT disappointed.
Raina, file that Clapper away in your brain. I'M TELLING YOU.
Love your little recap! Hysterical!
Some gifts you just can't top. A clapper! Keep him happy. You are hysterical!
The Clapper? OMG, you are too much! That's hysterical!
And...cue the sinister music...I want your boots. If you didn't have toddler sized feet I'd steal them.
Excellent Christmas gifting !
We had a clapper a long time ago. My children killed it.
The boots look good, did you go to the Town Center Mall ? :)
My daughter was there, I hope she left something for you in the stores.
Gyahhh! I love, no, lurve those boots!
Just a few weeks ago I was trying to explain The Clapper to the 9 year old I take care of - he was beyond lost about it. Seriously, he just couldn't grasp the magic of it - yet alone the fact that such magic existed 25+ years ago! [Fun Fact: Did you know, a product of similar design and function The Clapper was marketed as early as 1965 under the name, Sonuswitch? Thanks Wiki!]
I was lucky enough to be gifted with that very laptop for my birthday! I love it, but haven't yet gotten it to recognize me. Have you had any luck?
The boots are awesome. I cannot lie.
haha oh my gosh now I want a Clap On!
