@Wildfire: Amazing!!! :D Totally earned that VR ! :D
@Wildfire: My husband and I talked about doing end of year big purchases for the kids if they do well in school.
I never did that growing up, so I don't know if it's an efficient motivator.
@star2000shadow: How's the new phone? :D


@Purpsy: I'm glad I could make the situation a bit better. <3


@star2000shadow: I really want the oculus, but dang, they're spendy. D:
We actually have the same tradition. They get to open PJ gifts on Xmas Eve. <3

Teens are hard. I had a toy store for a few years, and my nieces and nephews would receive teen-orientated toys from me every year. Teen Orientated toys are so spendy. And well, teens these days are more into tech than hands-on stuff.
lol, my husband and I were best friends when we were teens. My mom would always buy him new shoes and socks. He'd wear holes in his shoes because he walked to and from our houses. He grew up in the trailer parks, he was always awkward accepting gifts.
One time my mom gifted him cash, and he turned around and spent the money on me. She got so mad when she found out. XD
She still gifts him new socks and shoes every Christmas. lol. I think it's a tradition now.
@Wildfire: when I was a teen, I just wanted gift cards for everything. lol. and toe socks. o.o
My daughter is tricky to buy for. She wants everything but still gets jealous when my son gets something specifically for him.
@Purpsy: Someone once told me it's good luck because you wore it out with love.
@Wildfire: omg! I found someone just trying to get rid of their collection on eBay. I hope it's as good as it looks. I went ahead and bought it. Santa is working wonders right now. lmao.
@Purpsy: Oh no! I'm sorry you broke your bracelet. I know the feeling. I took my favorite leather bracelet off one night and woke up to my puppy destroying it. T^T


@Wildfire: When my kids were babies, disney came out with Miles from Tomorrowland. It was a hit until for only like a year or two. We were so, so broke when the kids were small. I could only afford to get him a few small toys. He's played with them for the last 4 years and now they're breaking. Now he wants the ship... =3=" It was 70$ new at walmart when they were small. Now it's like 100$ used on ebay.
lol! I only like cocoa when I make it too. It's a rainy morning, cocoa seemed appropriate this morning.

I'm hitting a wall with my son's christmas list. He wants to replace some of his action figures from a show that is no longer popular. So the toys are no longer being made.
Alrighty, I'm going to jump off for the day. I've been online since I woke up. <3
I need to help kiddos with their homework and fix some stuff around the house. Eventually do my workout as well.
I love cats, but cats' are known to be a--holes. lol.

Once I realized the answer to todays' game, I felt so silly for not figuring it out sooner. e.e'
I totally said cat first. I don't trust cats. lmao
