christmas!

well, my Christmas vacation is now over. i had two wonderful days off and was able to spend some great time with my family (more or less).

yesterday, we had a non-traditional Christmas, and i loved it! First we went to the Flying Biscuit and ate a delicious breakfast. i am now hooked, thanks Kristina!
Then, we went to the High museum to see the Dali exhibit (his later work). i realized that i loved him when i was reading about one of his pieces and it said that he went to paint a copy of The Lacemaker and he realized that he had only painted four rhinoceros horns.

i am also fascinated by artists who are so closely tied to popular culture. It is so interesting to me the way that art and life are so closely tied and to see the way that modern life influences people as brilliant as Salvador Dali. i definitely recommend checking out the show if you get a chance.

but anyways, now is the moment you have all been waiting for:
christmas presents!!

first, i got this cute cute purse

(can anyone tell me how to flip this? i have no idea.)

i immediately transferred all of my things into it and have been carrying it around with me everywhere. i love it!

i also received this delightful assortment of items:


notice psych season four for hours of hilarious entertainment, and a chick-fil-a calender for lots of delicious eating (or drinking - four of the coupons are for drinks! that is 4/12 or 1/3 of the coupons- crazy!) i am pumped about these gifts.

but you may be asking yourself, with what are you taking these pictures, alyssa, since you have no camera?

well, i am so glad that you asked because i was just getting to my biggest christmas surprise:


so, no more pictureless (or worse webcam) blog posts!! i am more excited for all of you than for myself. goodness knows your poor eyes were probably so pained by the current state of things.

yay!

(more christmas pictures to come!)
