gettin' sleepy...

i hope i can make it through this post.

just been shoppin'. went monday night too for a couple things at Foley's (soon to be Macy's). surprisingly, there weren't that many people there that night. tonight, though, was another story. we didn't go there, but we did have to wiggle our way through their parking lot. funny how two days can be so different...

no, tonight we went to BedBath&Beyond for a really cute tea/coffee set for my sister-in-law. i was kinda at a loss for her present but i saw this and knew it was for her. also went on a mug mission. remember? lois' gifts for her co-workers this year are mugs, wine, or candles. so we picked up a couple more.

just around the corner lay Cost Plus...a great place for a wide selection of gifts, especially exotic prepared foods from all over the world. a wee bit pricy though.

nope. we settled on more mugs ;) and some blueberry scone mix. of course, we couldn't leave without some wine either...four bottles later heh.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention that we originally went to BedBath for a bathroom rug/toilet cover set. hah. they don't have sets. you wanna get the three pieces? it's gonna cost ya...like $50-$60 total. wtf?!? idontthinkso.

it was early though. we knew we could make it to Mervyn's and their 40-75% off (closing) sale. we had about an hour to spare, since they close at ten.

humph. right.

we get there and they're already closed. argh... you'd think that Mervyn's would join everyone and their mother in extending their shopping hours for the holidays. after all, isn't a going out of business clearance typified by 'clearing' things out? btw, we looked in and the selection still looked pretty good...even if they are already trying to get rid of the racks and fixtures as well.

target is just next door, but i can't stand the glendale store. i grew up going to that location. it lost its shopping charm when they tore down the old one and made it a super target with too many aisles and not enough bargains. the parking is such a shitty nightmare too. the place is always packed. pee-ew. i much preferred going to Kmart when they were open 24 hours at xmastime or a wally world at 3 AM.

so just ten more days of shopping. just three or four more gifts...i think.

hey cindi, i saw some rudolph stuff at bedbath. mainly 8" abominable snowman and yukon cornelius figures. not sure how much they were though...

nightynight.
