I had to brave Target today. I finished my Holiday shopping towards mid-week, but got behind on regular grocery shopping. Must have happened to a lot of people. Safeway and Target were extremely crowded. I also had to run to the mall because we needed something only GNC carries. Mall was crowded not overwhelmingly so. Parking was not bad and the lines were short, though it was more crowded than usual. But it was the grocery stores that were filled to bursting. (Yeah, most of the people in line with me in Target were buying groceries too.)
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, my god, the fucking mall
Yeah. Ugh nothing was enjoyable today if it involved me exchanging money for goods or services. But I'm done Elfing except for an exchange tomorrow. Even Trader Joes hit my last nerve. And Von's because mom's olive oil was expired! How does that even happen? I just took the phone call and bought her new oil...
Tep, Tim is awesome and that's a great story and necklace.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The family Tea has arrived safely at Phillip Island, home of the Penguin Parade and Faunapalooza! (And Chris and Liam Hemsworth, but I don't care so much about that.) Ryan is thrilled to be on holiday. I don't think he actually has much concept of what that is, but he knows it's good. This can only be heightened when he witnesses the Penguin Parade.

I got 8 hours of sleep tonight, and have wrapped All the Presents, put in a load of laundry (M's mom didn't have all of his clothes he needed to take to KC clean clean @@) and am about to finish my coffee, charging implements and packing.
I am still mostly packed from PA, so THAT'S easy enough, thank dog.
I am thinking about taking down some nail stuff and giving my MIL a manicure, if she wants one. It might be fun.
My folks stuff is already wrapped and at their house; we'll be having Xmanakkah there Monday.
And a professional photog frien is taking family pix of us next week for the family rate ($50) and we can pay her in the middle of January, when we'll have some moneym and I'll get 'em printed free by my BF's bro, for whom I wrote resumes and covers. I wish there was a giant robot statue in KC, because that's TOTALLY where I'd have them done!
Safe travels and happy Christamas, Hanukkah, late Solstice, Yule, Boxing Day and any other winter holidays I may have forgotten! Joy to all!
I LOVE YOU, MA BUFFISTAS!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thrive to spite them
I'm having a nice Christmas Eve. Work was rather slow, although there were 2 people in the store that walked in at quarter till closing, didn't come up to the register until after the store closed and took sometime.
We turned away three or four people at the door.
When I got home there was a package from G'ma and Aunt J and my landlady left me a nice card with a grocery store gift card and a lottery ticket and thanked me for being a great tenant!
