Nerdmas Secret Santa 2014


Recommended Posts

Update re: the lollies - The Telepathic Power, Flash Speed and X-Ray Vision drops are made of a variety of sugary treat that is unknown to the Australian.  So I decided to try some and see what they were.
Sherbety.  They are sherbety.

And also very nearly gone, because sherbety is best lolly.
On a related note, what do we reckon are the consequences of ODing on Telepathy, Flash Speed and X-Ray Vision all at once?

Consequences of being uncontrollably super fast, seeing through objects and hearing people's thoughts all at once?  ..... Hmm, I would imagine that would make you prone to crashing into things since you can see through them and are moving too fast to stop and look properly, and likely dizziness.  Kind of like a super-charged bat out during the day.

Consequences of telepathy = reading your own mind and getting stuck in a loop. Flash speed = time travel, only into the future, where Earth is gone, you have no oxygen and die. X-ray vision, you give everyone cancer and kill yourself out of guilt.

 

 

 

On a matter of Santaness, I got a freaking food dehydrator!!!! I'm soo stoked! I've already broke out the mandolin and started slicing up fruit. This will make traveling with some food soo much easier when I go to bjj. I don't have to worry about stuff opening or smashing my fruit(damn us frugavores)

 

Thank you so much Santanerd!

From my Santa!  (and yes, the exclamation point is needed) Mjolnir, A Thor workout shirt, a mini-mjolnir pin and a Groot Bobble Head.  Groot came with me to work today.

So very happy about this.  JJ is going to flip when he sees Mjolnir.  

Thank you to my secret Santa.  This was great.

I was terrible and opened my gifts a while back. I lost to that super villain.

 

I got few salt and pepper shakers (if you didn't know I collect some pretty weird ones). I got pilgrims, snowmen, and NINJAS!

 

Also, I got origami supplies and Star Wars origami book (still have to make the Yoda one for Santa).

 

Also, I have cool calendar with quotes for each day (called I Can DO IT). Funny because I never know the date or the day of the week (6 day work schedule will do it to you). I didn't know it was the 19th until now. I thought it was tomorrow.

 

Also, started reading Meditations from the Mat. Love how each day goes on more to talk about the branches of yoga.

 

Santa already heard how much I love them for it, but I'll say it AGAIN I seriously love you. *hug*

It's Nerdmas Day! I understand I have another package coming that will be late. My Santa said to watch for three packages, I've gotten two so far but that just means an extra bonus Christmas later!

 

I got: Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America! You guys don't even know the level of my obsession with "Parks and Recreation" (well, my Santa probably does after seeing all of the Parks stuff on my wish list). I always joke with people that when I'm bored I just start watching Parks and Rec over again, but that's not really a joke so much as what I really actually do when I'm bored and want to watch something. It is definitely one of my all-time favorite shows so I was SO EXCITED to get this! I can't wait to read it!

I also got: fancy delicious coffee! I'm drinking some right now and it is so good. It's got that great rich, bold flavor I love AND the package is cute. True story: I forgot to get coffee when I went to the grocery store and was bummed I was going to have to go back out to get some. It was meant to be!

 

So I am a dumb and there was a note with the Pawnee book that had my Santa's name on it, but as I was making the coffee I also did a quick (and much needed) clean up session and accidentally threw it away. And of course I already took out my trash to the dumpster (I have to do chores immediately and in their entirety otherwise things will always be sitting around half-done). So, sorry, but thank you whoever you are! I'll let you know when gift three gets here!

 

Merry Nerdmas and happy Nerd Year, everyone!

Happy Nerdmas Day!

 

I opened mine a while ago (I online shopped for Christmas for my kids and didn't realize it wasn't something I ordered)

 

good thing I did... because with my new bracelet (that I am stuck with til th end of the month) I am having a hard time finding long sleeved shirts that fit (all my long sleeves are underarmor... and skin tight and don't fit over my cast :( )

it's awesome because I have a hard time finding hoodies that the hoods are roomy :D

Opened mine a few weeks ago, I had exams and needed a pick me up.  I LOVE IT.  I got the Joy of Cooking,  DIY cookbook from America's test kitchen, a Little Big town cd, and a set of throwing knives.  I think I actually squealed when I opened the box.  

 

 

 

THANK YOU SECRET SANTA  

 

I have to go learn how to throw knives now.
