Post T-day
Success! A PS3 bundle from Best Buy was obtained. Two in fact lol. I didn't want to make my parents deal with the crowds at an ungodly hour so I went to pick it up myself (also, so you don't think we're rich and can just toss around PS3s this is my bday and only Christmas present lol)
I couldn't sleep so got up at 5:30 and went to the Best Buy down the street. there were alot of people in the small store but not as many at the register though enough people were certainly carting out large TVs! Stupid Best Buy, they had -plenty- of PS3s XD; I'm glad the workers weren't looking too haggard, infact one I was talking to said it was alright really. Like a busy day, rather than freaking insane. I was looking at PS3 controllers too and one mentioned how they were price matching Radio Shack's sale on it even though I had no idea. So nice of him! So got a 2nd controller for half off. I checked the store prices for Little Big Planet and Ratchet and Clank to see how much I was really saving with the bundle, and it turns out to be more like $50. But $50 is still $50! Can't wait to tell Justin I'll have a PS3 for Christmas, I've been using to Ratchet and Clank to draw him more into video games >.> <.<
Apparently my parents couldn't sleep either, so went to a different Best Buy and got one too XD; I feel bad, they spent at least 20 minutes in line whereas I didn't spend any time at all, either times.
Was planning on going back to bed, but I was pretty awake so went to Walmart looking for bedsheets. I got there around 6:30 and they were already sold out. Bummer, so got some picture frames instead. I can actually have photos of my loved ones around the home now and frame some gift art I've gotten lol. Planning on covering one wall of my office with lovely gifts from people :3
Hit the mall afterwards but didn't really see much. Bought a sweater and two cute skirts but that's it. Got more sparkly gel pens from JoAnn's at 50% off. Can't wait to use them on gifts and such X3 Yay more gel pens!
Got my hair permed straight and trimmed. Yeesh I needed a trim so bad! It's a subtle change but with the naturalizer too, my hair is looking and feeling alot nicer X3 Yay for having a hairdresser mom.
Went over to the home we're having the craftshow at tomorrow to help make signs and decorate. Yeesh, posterboard really absorbs sharpies! We decimated a good bunch before we went and got the super big fist sized sharpies. Still feel extremely anxious about tomorrow. It can SO easily be a HUGE flop. I really really hope it does happen the way I think it will -.-;;
Thanksgiving day was really nice. Finished up some commission work and have that carted off, so yay I get paid! Then headed home to my parent's place and chatted with them about their trip to Taiwan and Japan, which they just got back from. Was so good to see them <3
Then over to the neighbors' for dinner! We had 4 families total and we all know each other quite well and I utterly love everyone's company. We had fried turkey pieces, like fried chicken, to try something new! Was interestig though I still prefer the more traditional oven baking. The drumsticks were all undercooked but small pieces were quite tasty! Though I'm mad at my appetite. I was starving constantly all week, then not so much yesterday. Pretty standard fare otherwise, though we had this really interesting nutty cranberry sauce. So tasty and unusual X3 Mmm.. pumpkin cheesecake.. Everything was soooo good.
I played a bit of Call of Duty, which was fun but I always suck at shooter games, then we watched the football game. I'm not too into football but it turned out to be a really good game!.. if you're rooting for the Broncos, which we were :D;
I'm so tired lol, I haven't gotten a full night's sleep all week and yet I'm still up and raiding tonight XD;; Need to be up early tomorrow for set up.. then up way way early Sunday for soup kitchen stuff.
Wish me luck with tomorrow!!
