Tonight I finished Christmas shopping for the kids - actually, I had thought I was finished last week, but their grandmother called today and asked us to do her shopping for her because she now feels too old to leave her house, so I did some more shopping.
I went out with a goal. I was going to Wal-Mart to buy Mousetrap for Vicky, and Twister for Sam. (Picture it. The thought of Sam playing Twister is adorable, isn't it?) Wal-Mart was sold out of Mousetrap, but I managed to find the second Ice Age movie, so I did get a gift for each kid.
Sam complained the whole time we were gone. He's going through a phase where he doesn't want to leave the house - ever - and it didn't help that we have the new/old video games to keep him busy at home. We got through it, though, and while I was out I bought a couple of bargain bin DVD's (Christmas Vacation and Rain Man) and two George Orwell books (1984 and Animal Farm) for five bucks each. So now I have more books to add to the pile of books I haven't fount time to read yet. If I set a large, circular piece of wood across said pile, I'd have somewhere to set my coffee.
Anyway, we did all of this after dark, and the traffic wasn't so bad. We even managed to find a parking spot at Wal-Mart without having to walk six miles. Lesson learned.
The colour on our TV is still screwy, but Christmas Vacation is on, so I'm going to go watch it. (Yes, I bought the DVD today, but we're watching it on TV with the commercials.)
Oh, and I'm kinda sobbing because Brittany Murphy died. Not that I was a huge fan or anything, but Clueless was a great movie. I still love it.
