Christmas Haul

I feel like I haven't had many moments to myself since I started school. I have about 21 hours of classtime, plus my online course and any homework/readings/etc. On top of that, I'm working 20 hours a week as well. Shit's been pretty crazy, but I'm loving it and really striving to do the best I can.

Anyway, I meant to post the stuff I got for Christmas a while back, but I've been caught up with everything I haven't had the chance. I don't have much time today either, but if I wait any longer I will likely not post at all. Can you believe January is almost fucking over? Damn.

We were really happy with Christmas this year, moreso what we got other people than what we got ourselves, though we got some pretty awesome stuff. Here's a rundown of some of the stuff I received:

Two-cup coffee maker
Eight different cookbooks and two cocktail books
Shiny stainless steel roasting pot
Funky socks and pajamas
Food processor/blender (so awesome)
Delicious hot chocolate
QC print and Settlers of Catan (from Maeghan <3)
A bunch of mixing bowls of various sizes
Various gift cards for Amazon, movies, clothes, etc.

I probably missed stuff, but that's the bulk of it.

You could try explaining why you disagree.

Well good, I'm glad to hear that. It only took over a month. I understand it was the holidays, but man...It wasn't just Canada though. I ordered deposit slips for my company. It basically took two months despite the bank being about two miles max from our old place and our new place. It was ridiculous.

Okay, I got in touch with them. They said I should be able to track it via Canadapost.ca...I couldn't. It says it was an invalid tracking number. I think everything was literally lost. It says it has shipped. So, I'm extremely, extremely sorry for the delay, but I'm working on it. Just in case anything arrives, this is what should be coming your way: this, this, and this. Yeah, I went with two cookbooks just in case I somehow ended up getting you the only one you said you had. The game itself is a game I have played many times with my friends and my family. So, it works for many groups of people.

Like I said, I'm figuring it out. I'm rather annoyed especially since I figured it would be the other two smaller cocktail books that would never arrive.

The edit was changing "go" to "got." I'm in hurry...My bad.

Alright, that sounds good. One of the gifts would be a good one to take over to a family gathering though. Oh well, things happen. I haven't had problems before, but it doesn't surprise me with it being the holidays. Things are always more hectic. I pickup the mail for my company at the post office and the last week and a half has been annoying with the amount of people trying to get shipping done.

Enjoy your Christmas good sir.

It hasn't given an estimated date yet. In fact, on the screen, I did use Barnes and Noble, it says not shipped. However, when I click on it, it says it has been shipped. It also gives a tracking number, but unlike past orders, it isn't a link I can click on. The tracking number is strange too. It's "00417090112751378327."

Good. Hopefully, they hurry up. They should have been there by now. I have no way of tracking them though. It gives me a tracking number, but not the service tracking it. I don't want to give away what is coming, but there are three things that should all arrive together. If they don't by, I don't know when, pick a date, let me know so I can contact Barnes and Noble about it. I know the address is right. Well, it's obviously right since those two arrived. So, I don't now what the hold up is.
