More Christmas shopping...

I stayed up way too late last night watching college football. The last game was in Hawaii, which means that it didn't even start until almost 10 PM here. I got up late this morning and finally got out to do more Christmas shopping at around two in the afternoon with the girlfriend.

We went to Petsmart first and got some cat food and a little kitty toy stocking. I wasn't going to do anything like that, getting the cute little pet present, but they had a pre-made stocking with 22 cat toys for about $8, so I couldn't resist getting some new toys for her. She's almost out of mice anyway. At least mice which she hasn't chewed the tails from.

After that, we went to Old Navy and picked up a few things, including a few more long sleeved shirts for me to wear under my uniform shirt at work. Then it was down to Michael's, since I had a coupon there. I didn't find anything that I really wanted, but I did get some polymer clay for my sister for Christmas. I think I've just about got enough to make her a nice little package, so now I really need to start working on trying to find something for her husband. I never have the faintest idea of what I should get him. I think I might call my mom and see if she has any ideas.

The girlfriend and I were getting a little hungry by then, since neither of us had any breakfast before we left this morning. Since we were right there, we went to Fuddrucker's and had their bacon cheddar half-pound burgers. They were pretty good, and I'm still definitely not hungry about five hours later. There were some little girls sitting with their father at the booth next to us, and the little one was pretty priceless. The restaurant had a bunch of celebrity pictures on the walls, and she asked her dad, "Are all of those people dead? Are their pictures on the wall because they're dead?" Later, she told her sister that the girl with her pictures on the wall near them must have been a singer. She pointed out the picture which proved it. It was Marilyn Monroe at a USO concert. In itself not that funny, but I just found the different point of view amusing, that this little girl hadn't the faintest idea who Marilyn was.

After Fuddrucker's, we were kind of trying to decide where to go next, but we were both feeling rather lazy and lethargic, so we just wound up coming back home. I think it was a decent shopping day in any case. Since then, I've just been watching football and playing around on the computer. Guess I should try to do something useful with the rest of the evening, but I'm not sure what...
