i got money from my parents for chanukkah - and with that money i bought 8 or more items ... i got 3 button-down collared shirts from old navy (dark purple, light purple, and white)
<--the shirts i got just mine were different colors...,
1 pair of dress pants that are black pinstripes from old navy
, a purple cableknit sweater from gap (wearing it today!)
<--different color,
bottle of fiorucci perfume (i love this stuff and have wanted it for a while)
, purple bath scrubbies from old navy, 2 dvds from ryan at Best Buy, a smoothie at the mall, an xbox game for ryan, some kitchen stuff for me.... measuring cups etc...
thats all from my parents --- oh and i got a beer at a pub after all the shopping.....
(wow 14 things ... I did good)
from people at work
gift certificate to home depot which i used to get --- a huge dremel kit, a circular saw, a jigsaw, a mini vacumn, a rubber mallet, and a bread machine
a gift certificate to starbucks - haven't used yet
a tin of peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies
a hot chocolate gift set with marshmellows, a mini whisk, hot cocoa mix, and a mug... very cute
thats it i think.....
as far as the vanessa thing --- most children of jewish parents complain about having a "Jewish Mother" it's more of a describtion of the behavior of your mother than stating you are not the same faith... jewish mom's have a certain way of doing things and behaving that is why people say that...
i am 100% Jew and i am practicing and pretty religious....
Happy Channukah to all!
