Dec. 28th, 2006 07:01 pmFrom my mother, I mainly got clothes this year. Two pretty skirts, three nice tops, underwear and two pairs of boots that are too small for me. I have to go and take both pairs back - I could exchange them for a larger size, but I don't really like either pair. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo thinks they would suit me, but I'm not much for zip-up calf-length boots because they're never all that comfortable - not unless there are also laces and buckles that you can adjust. I don't know where designers got the idea that you could judge someone's calf size by their shoe size but it's erroneous and stupid. We'll have to see, though - I do need at least one decent pair of shoes that are also comfortable ... if I can find a pair that meet that criteria.
Anyway, I also came home with Terry Pratchett's Discworld (animated versions of Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters, plus a copy of Going Postal in paperback), a pretty pair of earrings and 1001 Nights of Snowfall, which is moderately fantastic.dodgyhoodoo liked his gifts too (he can tell you about them himself if he likes) and found out over the course of the evening just where some of my quirks come from.
Okay, so the entire 'Christmas at Mum's' thing was embarrassing and a little bit weird, partially because I haven't been 'round hers for Christmas in ... what, four years? But I survived, pretty much. Now I just feel ill and tired for no damn reason. And the RP party's tomorrow so I just hope I feel better by then...
