Got an Asus Transformer Infinity. F'ing love it. Daughter got a InnoTab from Grandma. She now has a "taptop" like Daddy. It's a little advanced for a 2 1/2 year old, but she can use it better than I expected. (Glad it's hers, if my tablet ran as slow as that thing I'd throw it out the window. Doesn't bother her though)

Little boy got mostly clothes. It's a good thing too. He's a giant and is outgrowing his clothes like crazy.

Not a xmas present, somewhat a 1st world Wart-like problem: just found out my inlaws decided we need their old upright piano...cool right? Not to me.
I love my mother in law dearly, but she up an decided that since the upright costs too much to restore to top order, to get her house a new one. She really is a woman that does not desire a lot of fancy things, except a new piano apparently.

I think the piano guy put the screws to her in this arrangement. Because the piano moving came free with and thus, it was scheduled for Monday. The inlaws are suckers this way. Or maybe I am.

My wife is not thrilled but ok with it. So that leaves me as the bad guy.

Returning clothes blows. Yeah, yeah, you shouldn't wait until March to exchange Christmas gifts, but I seriously hate brick and mortar stores. The only reason I even went today, armed with returns and gift cards, is because I wanted to get some new stuff for our Mexico trip on Wed. I got some good stuff, but when I returned bras from my MIL at VS today, apparently they credit the card from the original purchase in approx. 7 days, so you have to pay and then ask your MIL to send you a check when her card's been credited. WTH, you have the merchandise with tags on it with a receipt! Then I didn't have my SIL's receipts and I was offered an insulting amount of $ because it was winter stuff and I didn't have the receipt (again tags were on it). I ended up keeping the stuff because I liked it, it was just too big. So I'm going to wear this bigger stuff. Stupid.
