Another Christmas survived.
All in all, a basic haul: gift cards mainly. I am OK with gift cards; they are practical and not as time-sensitive as returning something. I've basically blown the annual Christmas money from my dad with very little to show for it. I should have just concentrated on finding shoes.
Today I attempted to go to an electronics store for something and waited in line for 20 minutes. Decided I didn't really need to be in a store this week. Also went to Scratch briefly, but couldn't remember anything I wanted to buy, so will likely miss out on the 20% off sale this week. Crap. Though A&B Sound has a 30% off sale on DVDs and CDs starting tomorrow, so, theoretically, I can still find some cheap crap. Do I need cheap crap? Likely no.
Good things from the holidays:
1) Slept in until 9am at least two mornings
2) Got to see my parents
3) Have leftover perogies in my fridge and more in the freezer (score!)
4) Didn't work for 3 whole days
5) Got to talk to my friend from London while she was in the country
6) "Pretty In Pink" DVD!
Miraculously, I didn't fight with my family, though was getting short with them by Tuesday (I'm so difficult) for a short spell. My apartment is surprisingly awesome for visitors. I didn't even mind not being able to sit on my futon for the duration. Also, my dining room table is sweet. The combo of dining room table and dishwasher made the whole multiple dinners thing really easy. My mom's deal: she makes the dinners, I clean them up. I may consider applications for dinners at my home.
I have to get to sleep.
Happy New Year, if I don't see you before Sunday.
