I was hangin' out at home today, thinking that I needed to go out and buy drinks, but it just wasn't enough of an excuse to bother getting dressed and going out. Then I looked at the little pile of Best Buy bucks by my monitor, and realized they were going to expire TODAY. Out I went, tuning my radio to an all Christmas music station, and speeding along all festive-like. Well, as festive as a girl wearing all black and a blatantly pagan symbol around her neck can get. I stopped by Wal-Mart, too, so I could visit the camera I want to buy. Apparently they no longer have layaway, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I can still get one in a week or so when I have the cash. Instead I just visit it and wave and pretend to pet it through the glass in the locked case.



I had to look at the Christmas candy, because somehow candy is just harder to resist when it's wrapped in red and green foil. There were oodles of the classics rewrapped for Christmas and stacks of boxes of cheap chocolates. Personally, I'm more of a truffle fan than anything. But even I have to give in to the winter wonders of Wonka. Gobstoppers are now Snow Balls and Nerds are still Nerds, but they're red, green, and white! I just really wish they weren't all mixed together, because I hate crappy watermelon. But, I'm loving how the Snowman on the Gobstoppers box looks totally stoned out of his mind. Makes you wonder what he's smokin' in that pipe of his.
