I can now, apparently, leave Mass. with all my dignity in tact as I have finally been to one of the oft-lauded
Christmas Tree Shops. Despite the name, it is not just a seasonal store and sells pretty much everything at insanely low prices. I bought a shit-load of stuff and only spent $12.50. I can't even buy two things at CVS and spend less than $20. It was insanely packed too. On a Tuesday, at 6:00pm, packed. Granted, last day of a sale, but I've been told that the crowd-size is always huge. I've never been to one before as none of the shops are really near Mass Transit, but man, I could have used that store when I first moved here. Seriously, I just bought 4 very nice bowls for, like, $5 total.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. Where the hell has this month gone. Only two more weeks until the crazy weekend in Nashville. Ugh.
Favorite bit of writing from today:
"Okay, Gandalf," Mikey said, "Here's your staff."
"You put Care Bear stickers on it."
"Everyone needs a little Care Bear Power in their lives, Gee."
