So the folks invited me over to their place for Thanksgiving. Since the two of them were all turkeyed out since last week, they decided to have lasagna instead. The real turkey dinner is supposed to take place on Saturday at Aunt Pat and Uncle Jess's place (and it's been a while since I've been over there), and Mom's picked out a set of new duds ( Read more... )

So Mom came by to take me shopping again this weekend. She said she wanted to get in and out of there as quickly as possible, but I still managed to convince her to drop me off at Barnes and Noble for a half hour, since there was a gas heater she wanted to look at in Farm and Fleet and Sears for some property that she owned near her place. At least ( Read more... )

So Mom took me shopping again today. I hadn't been to La Crosse in a while, and hadn't been to Barnes and Noble since a few months ago, as I was trying to keep my spending under control since that last big overdraft. On the way there, we went over a survey that was sent to me from the Census Bureau, which covered such shit as what kind of building ( Read more... )

Went shopping with the folks again. About the only thing I got other than groceries was a package of toilet paper that I saw on display as I was just getting started (since I was running out of ammunition at home). Spent close to 200 bucks and I didn't go to Barnes and Noble like that other time I was in town, so I didn't have to worry about ( Read more... )

So Mom took me shopping again this weekend. Mom's first stop was Farm and Fleet, which she said needed to be done first due to it only being possible to get there going into Onalaska (and Mom had plenty to say about the stupidity of that particular choice of route design). She went to get some kind of metal hitch thing for Dad, but I walked away ( Read more... )

So Mom visited me the other day. We had a nice chat and I brought up the fact that I was running out of checks. Turns out that the last time she ordered some new checks the bank fucked up the order and so it didn't get through. Nice. We went shopping yesterday on account of I was running out of food and because I only had a few checks left, we had ( Read more... )

Well, another Christmas come and gone. Stayed at my parents' place again, though the present-opening occurred on Christmas day instead of Christmas Eve like last year.

Walked away with:

• The Dark Knight  - an awesome movie in general. Came in a box set with the first Joker and Two-Face stories and Two-Face's coin.
• Three Chuck Norris movies in one set:  ( Read more... )

Went to my parents' place for Thanksgiving this year for the requisite turkey dinner. Mom and Dad were doing well. Ann's taking care of Crissy's new kitty, a sweetie by the name of Lexi who gets along good with the household's resident hellraiser and goofy dog Dexter. Lexi's quite friendly, but has a bit of a wild streak like Molly. The game today ( Read more... )

So yesterday Mom took me shopping again, and she filled me in on what's been going down these past months. Crissy's working at a restaurant in Onalaska that serves buffalo wings, which she talked her bosses in Milwaukee into getting her transferred to when she found out one was open there -- might want to talk Mom into taking me there sometime when ( Read more... )
