I am thankful for friends and family and bitchin' consumerism!
Back from Thanksgiving, caught up on projects, and finally taking a moment to breathe! The trip to Port Charlotte was actually quite nice. Unfortunately, Jaime was sick through most of it, and now that he's almost well, I've taken up the mantle of household invalid. Ugh, my throat. Sigh. I had much work to do, too, but now it's mostly done (or at least everything that's due before this weekend is done) and I'm just curled up and watching TV. Jaime and I have recently (and belatedly, I know, shut up) discovered the wonders of The Office (U.S. version), so... whoo!
Jacks is doing well, the little beast. He's taken to climbing up onto a ledge near the top of his tank and chilling up there until he inevitably falls. I don't think he's trying to escape or anything, as he seems very comfortable with his burrows and is calm and chill the vast majority of the time; he just goes up there during his active exploration phases. If it makes him happy, I guess. We fed him again before we left, and he nommed that pinkie down before Jaime even had a chance to set him in his feeding tub. Seriously, the first two times we fed him, he went for the strike and started eating while we were still holding him. No feeding shyness here. We got him a bigger feeding tank, and though it took him a minute to settle down enough to pay attention to the feeding tongs, he did find the pinkie pretty quick and ate it up no problem. Also, we've started doing real handling sessions with him, and it is awesome. He's far more calm than I expected - doesn't strike or act skittish or anything. I think he's going to grow into a fine little fellow.
So as I mentioned, I don't feel great. As a pick-me-up, I decided to take a few minutes and put together my ultimate Christmas list. The usual disclaimer applies - I don't actually expect to get most of this stuff. Maybe one or two of the reasonably priced items, but that's it. I just like window-shopping, and what better place for that than the internet?

Thiiiiink that's it. Without fail, Jaime will point out something I've missed as soon as I post this, so it's open for update. *shrug* It's mostly just for fun, so s'all good.

I had never even heard of knitfelt before. That penguin is adorable!

Felting is something I don't have experience with, but I want to. Anything that can yield cute minions is good in my book!
