Well, I was gonna let Rita tell it first but since she's so *slow* and still without power in her living room, I guess I'll have to cut in line.
Damn, she beat me to posting!

So, yesterday me and Jen had to take Rita to the emergency room.
Because she was having an allergic reaction.
To something.
Whatever.
She's fine now.
Not the point of this story.
The point of the story is that since we were already out and about, Jen and I decided to go shopping after we left Rita safely in the care of her mommy and the hospital. So we went to Wal-mart. And the mall. And out for chinese food. But the grand total of this experience is that I ended up spending nearly $150 on x-mas presents and stuff. At least it's november so I don't feel like a complete loser for buying x-mas presents already ~*cough*Jen*cough*~.
Thusfar I've only bought stuff for... 4 different people. I'm having a major block trying to figure out what to get some people. *grr*
I've almost entirely decided what to get for a few people, I just haven't actually gone out and gotten it yet. And I don't know where the hell I'm going to store all this crap after I have it. Damn dorm. But Yay! for shopping!!! I get a truly unhealthy level of satisfaction out of spending money. I'm such an American. I almost think I should be ashamed of this... nope.

Anyway, what should I get my mommy for x-mas?

Yes, the sad part is that I *am* aware that they are Very Not Nice People, but they just make everything so *easy*... It's like smoking, I know it's bad for me, but I just can't quit. There needs to be a patch for Wal-mart.

There does need to be a patch for it.

I mean, I'm sympathetic to the pull. I'm currently sort of boycotting Target (long my "happy" company) because of their stupid thing about saying, "Yeah, sure, pharmicists can just not give out the morning after pill" with very vague and meaningless reassurances that their customers will be taken care of.

And Target's where I get *everything*.

I can only hope that IKEA never does anything nasty, as I'd probably fall over dead from Swedish Apple-cake withdrawal.
