Christmas shopping and random thoughts

I made 90% of my gifts this year. But there are always a few more things needed... So my friend Tim and I braved the slush of people and snow to do some last-minute shopping. Michaels, Target, mall stores, etc. The traffic was insane! But time didn't pass slowly. We had a good bit of fun. And I got most the things I needed.

We tried to go to Starbucks for some much needed caffeine, but it was jam- packed with fellow humans all after the same thing. So we tried a locally run coffee store in our mall... the prices were the same, but the drinks nowhere near as good. My cocoa was WAY too sweet (plus it wasn't hot!! MAJOR pet peeve), and Tim's iced (brrr) something-or-another didn't have any sugar at all. Phooey.

Tim introduced me to the "As seen on TV store" which was fun albeit overwhelming. Too many things in too tight of a space. He got a dryer lint getter-outer thing-a-ma-bob for his parents, and I got a cooking gadget for mine. Most of the stuff in there looked pointless. Or funny. Or really, really odd. Like the fat-getter-offer thing. You stand on it, and it jiggles the fat off you. I'm sure it works great, but I would never, ever try it out in the store. There... I've said too much. :D

Well I had better go to bed... I'm soooo very tired.


I don't like creepy dudes who wink creepily. Do you know the difference between nice winks and creepy winks? Mostly it depends on the winker. I got a creepy wink today in the mall, but a cute wink in a store in my town. Heh. The cute wink eclipsed the creepy wink, thankfully.


My blog needs surgery. I'll probably get to it after Christmas. Which is in........................ TWO DAYS!!!!!


I hope I get all the stuff done i need doing!


I found a beautiful little black sweater with faux- fur trim and crystal buttons for a steal in a thrift store today. For all of two dollars... whoo hoo! I'll wear it Christmas day, and again on Sunday.


Time for ibuprofen for holiday headache...


Do not eat an entire enormous blackout chocolate cupcake in one sitting. Ask my dad. Half is quite enough.


I love holly at Christmas!! Hey, I can put my ivy wreath around my Santa Claus hat and then I can pretend I'm the ghost of Christmas present!


I'm getting waaay to loopy and rambly so I'm going to go to BED.








You know, it is REALLY hard to try and lose weight during Christmas!
