Random Ramblings

Whew! What a busy day today was. Mom and I left the house at 10:00 this morning, and didn’t get home until nearly four. We did a ton of shopping.

We went to, in order:

The butcher shop
Food Basics
CostCo
Chapters
Dairy Queen
Giant Tiger
Penningtons
Price Chopper

Man, I was tired and sick of shopping after all that. I got some great things, though. I got something for Peter to give to his dad for Christmas, and stuff for the two Angel Tree kids I got yesterday. With all that done, all I have left to get is some things for Peter’s stocking and I’m through. Yay!

While at Chapters, I picked up Brokeback Mountain. It’s just a short story, so the book was tiny. I read it in less then an hour, and then sat and bawled. Oh God it was good. I can’t wait to see the movie. What a wonderfully written, gripping story. It really hits hard, and stays with you for a long time after reading it.

I need to get some stamps, and send out my Christmas Cards. Before it’s too late to get them there by Christmas.

My other mom wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas, and I had no idea. (She threatened to beat me.) But, now I know what I want. There’s a new Dean Koontz book out, called Odd Thomas. I’m dying to read it! Not sure how much it is, but I’m going to mention that I want it, if it isn’t too much. Assuming, of course, that I remember to tell her.

Time for bed, now. *yawn!* I’m beat.
