sister #4 (who drew my name in the big present drawing) has just informed me that there will be no gifts for me under the christmas tree this year. it seems she and my parents ordered all my gifts from my amazon.com wishlist on december 6th.

also, it seems that amazon was waiting to ship the entire bundle all at once. so they waited 3 weeks, for one book, before fulfilling the order. of course, sister #4 never thought to e-mail them to find out what in the hell was going on until i bugged her about it tuesday night. the package isn’t slated to arrive until December 27th.

now excuse me while i go in the corner and cry like a 3-year-old because i won’t have any presents to open up on christmas day.
