So D and I hit the mall early today for some Boxing Day shopping. We had fun together, but there was really not much to buy. There were no spring/summer clothes on sale, and the winter stuff was very picked over and mostly stuff that had already been on sale for weeks. Also, I don’t really need anymore winter clothes and have gained about 6lbs in the past few months (hello writer’s strike good-bye elliptical) and just don’t feel like trying on clothes until I feel better about myself again. There wasn’t even anything to buy for the girl, as she only wears dresses and there were tonnes of girl’s separates on sale, but only holiday dresses which she does not need. I looked for the man too, but all the nice men’s stuff was either super big or super small (though I admit, I didn’t look too hard for him!).
I did score a pair of boots though. I decided I need flat(ish) boots as I have been wearing a lot of leggings and long sweaters/short sweater dresses this winter, and it looks sorta…um…trashy with high heel boots, and wrong with shoes. I avoided the dreaded hideous Uggs(yes M, I know they are comfy, but I just cannot do it! They belong in the Hell I normally reserve for Crocs) and scored these instead. Cute, eh:
I also have swollen, pus filled, scarred tonsils. I took a picture for ya’ll, but it is scary, so click here if you dare. I am feeling better though, the fever and sick feeling are almost gone, just another day or so of sore throat, and another 7 days of anti-biotics to contend with.
As for what I want. I WANT A Wii! NOW! I played it for the first time at my cousin’s house today, and let me just say, it is like crack. I would drop those 6lbs like nobodies business if just I had a Wii. As it is, I’ll just have to invite myself to my cousin’s house every day, until I score a Wii for myself. Cousins, listen here: Sorry, but I will not return the favour and invite you to my home for lunch. I’ll cook for you. I’ll clean for you. I’ll even baby-sit you kids and walk your dog. But any future get-togethers will be at the house with the Wii. And that’s your house. Deal with it. Or give us the Wii. It’s up to you (see ya at 9am tomorrow, k? I’ll phone at 6 to make sure you are awake).
P.S. I know that there are some cute Uggs online, but I have never actually seen them. Luckily, I have never seen these in real life either. It is a good thing, as I think if I did I would have to gouge my eyes out:
P.S. S. Sorry I have been not around much lately. Between being sick and being very busy at home and work right now, I have been rather remiss in my blogging duties. I’ll try to be around more in the New Year! I know how much you all must suffer when I am not here for you…

We’re dying for a Wii here too. We;ll wait. Eventually one will fall into our laps.
My elliptical comes next week, I have to wait until thursday, I may just expire.

We were supposed to have a Wii at Christmas time, and I shoulda picked one up when I saw two at Costco about 3 months ago… but I left it in the husband department.. who at the time felt that there would be no stock issues for Christmas. I think I’ve been a very good elf not to rag on him too much about that. We’re lucky Liam’s a pretty happy go lucky kid, who was OK with us getting it after Christmas. I’m sure we’ll all be totally addicted in no time as well.

love the boots!! They are super cute :)
I love the bags i got! They are even nicer than i thought and i’m happy to have something a little less common than the other bag i had originally wanted (which i almost ordered online-in black!- when i got home but decided that 2 new bags was enough for one day)

Jennifer, I hope the Wii fairy pays you a visit!
Karen, Liam will love it! My cousins’ almost 6 year old son loves it, and the girl was totally into it in no time…so with Liam having a few years on them, I am sure it’ll be a total hit!
