In which I ramble about stuff
Happy Birthday to my girl luffing! I hope you have a good day today.
I went back to skip=280 to catch up on what everyone has been posting about.
My Thanksgiving was loud (my nap-deprived 1-year-old nephew Greyson) and also good (getting to see my almost-5-year-old niece Harmony and my brother and sister-in-law). There is never enough pie, in my opinion.
I was a good girl and packed up all the collectibles on Saturday, just as I had planned to do. I have seven large plastic containers all filled with stuff, and I need to buy some more for the comics and magazines I've accumulated. This is one of the times where I face the problem of "What am I going to do with this crap?" while fighting "All this stuff is worth money!" I have an urge just to chuck the whole lot and be done with it, but in good fangirl conscience I cannot.
The original Angel puppet and original Spike action figure are going to have to go to eBay, since no one responded here. A pain in the ass as I've never sold on eBay before, but whatevs. still available if you want them. Looking at eBay and all the hidden costs gives me a headache. See my original post for details.
My family doesn't exchange gifts for Christmas, so we just have to buy for the kids. My brother gave us a list of things for the kids, one of which is something I AM NOT BUYING BECAUSE ZOMG EXPENSIVE, the Yo Gabba Gabba Dancing Brobee. There is no way I'm spending over $50 on something that's going to get tossed in the pile after watching it dance once or twice. Yes, yes, it'll make them happy blah blah blah, but for $50 with shipping? Just...no. Two Christmases ago I got the hard-to-find Extreme Elmo (we had exactly 5 come into work) or whatever the hell it was for Harmony, and he now sits dead and soulless sans batteries in a heap.
I don't even want Christmas gifts from my girlfriend, much to her annoyance. I've just come to the realization that I don't need any more useless *stuff*. I only want things I need -- like those freaking expensive Pur water filter replacements that fit onto your faucet. I can buy a whole new faucet filtration thingy for the cost of those filters alone! Sheesh. I told her to wait until I find a new apartment, and then she can buy me things I need to decorate and crap.
As much as I love everyone out there, PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DON'T SEND ME HOLIDAY CARDS. I don't want to feel obligated in return, and frankly I'm trying to save as much as I can for the impending move.
Meh, I am Grinchly this morning. I'm just not a big fan of Christmas, for reasons better left unsaid, and now that it's December you can't get away from it.
