Happy Early Holidays!

azuriteWhee! I feel like I'm celebrating the holidays early already! So yesterday I went to Alameda (after picking up my transcript at SFUSD; too bad I didn't run into Amber at SOTA!) to go to this paint-your-own Pottery shop Joe told me about... o_O Unfortunately it was closed Monday. So we went to all these other places... this Craft store called Michael's (got 2 metallic pens, embroidery floss, a craft book for birthdays, rhinestone stars, glue guns sticks, and double stick tape), then Toys 'R' Us (Jinzo tin of Yu-Gi-Oh cards), Best Buy (50 CD-Rs, 5 audio cassettes, headphones, 2 DVDs), and then we went to dinner at Pasta Pomodoro. After, we went to Barnes and Noble, and I suckered for one more book, this SWELL Holiday book. ^_^
Plus I got a few presents-- Dez' present was one of my many-needed manga (to complete my collection!), Sailor Moon #8! o_O Gawd, Tokyopop in the early days... *shudder* Joe also gave me this ubercool book about creative inspiration. It's a pretty complicated read, since it doesn't go in order, but it's cool! We'd also gone to a comic book shop, and I got HYD #3! It's out already! *dr00ls* The infamous cuttlefish event!
Since we were in the area near AHS, where my dad works, I convinced Joe to let me visit. I didn't really know what to say to Dad, so I just surprised him by walking in and giving him a hug, and saying "hi" a lot. o_O
Hm, down to $83 in my account. >_< That sucks! But I still want to make Baba and Grandpa a present, so after work I'm going to head down to one of the pottery places here in the city. But since I bothered to check my budget, I'll be careful not to spend too much. I think I can limit myself to $35... Of course, Mom'll never give me money... she never does anymore... *cringe*
I just hope I get some nice pink (!) shirts for presents, or money, since I still want to go attack the mall! :D Northridge Mall ROX! You can never spend too much time in there (unless it's ubercrowded, I guess...).
I have to pack once I get home... since I have to bring everything with me for this weekend to WORK, and therefore on BART, I'm going to need cash for that. X_X Maybe Mom will spare me $4 for that? I hate getting cash for my card. But hey, if I can't pay for the pottery with my card, then I'll *have* to get cash. And until the next pay period, I won't have enough for all the cool Christmas-y projects I have in mind.
MUST REMEMBER TO GO TO THE CONTAINER STORE!
Okay, I should get changed for work now. And maybe make a sandwich.

Date: 2003-11-25 09:16 pm (UTC)As for shopping, I gots an entire wishlist over at Amazon.com. You can either look me up by name, or go back about 5 or so entries from this one to find the link. ;D Most of the stuff on the list can probably be found here in the city anyway, if you don't wanna do the online purchasing bag.
What do YOU want? ^.~
