the magical wonder of the ticky-tock

I have survived Xmas (yes, I am taking the christ out) virtually unscathed. Sunday night dinner was as expected - a 5 course extravaganza of uncomfortableness. I ate like the little piggy I am deep down inside and regretted it afterward. Monday morning we had to wake up earlier than I would have preferred so that my Ooosband and I could exchange gifts and enjoy each other's company before traipsing off on our chock-full day of events. That was THE most enjoyable part of the day! I wanted to just stay in my PJ's all day and watch movies and play with our gifts at home. I felt under the weather for most of the day. Then we got home at a reasonable hour and spent some time doing some of the stuff we would have rather done, I read and he played his new Metal Slug Anthology. Then off to bed to dream our happy little dreams.

The big question... what sweet little presents did I get?
iPod video (total surprise and very happy)
Neato book of old-school kitchen remedies
Money
Some knifty CD's
2 really nice knives.

Oh, now for the story of the magical ticky-tock, which has since been remedied:

It all began Friday night. While at the ever delightful and always fabulous home of Erin & JP. I had conversed with a little pregers lady and she was nice and pleasant and that is when the ticky tocked. I started thinking to myself that maybe it wouldn't be all that bad to be a slight bit pregers. I was also starting to wonder because the monthly plague was not acting up in it normal manner. Which is curious since it is usually reliably un-reliable. Moving on to Sunday night while at my parents house. We are all gathered around the tree exchanging gifts and the theme continued, first with a joke and then with a not so joke type gift. My dearest brother of mine (my only one for that matter) who is a continuous hound for niece or nephew decided to gift to me the 'Consumer's Guide to Baby Products', we all had a good laugh. Then my father gifted to me a piece from my favorite collectible series, Snowbabies. The figure was a stork delivering a baby Snowbaby. He explained how he could not resist. I understand well and good the nature of these gifts and this caused a small pang of guilt. I do realize that my family would be oh so pleased if such a momentous occasion were to happen. Monday night however, while I was in the presence of a pair of 6 year old twins. Running screaming and not listening to a word their parents had to say - It was over - crushed to little bitty ticky-tocky pieces.
