The stores are getting even more crazy if that is even possible. It took my longer to get from work to the mall area then it normally takes me to get home home at night and I only live five to ten minutes past the mall. Not that I was going to the mall. I cannot say that last time that I was in the mall. But still, it was the area that I was going. I could not believe the number of cars on the road and the number of people who were just driving like complete morons. Since I was going to dinner with Gretchen tonight at 6, I decided that it probably wasn’t even worth it to try and go home only to have to make my way back to Olive Garden. Instead, I stopped at Ulta to pick up more chocolate hand creame and the couple of things that my mom needed. It was crowded in there but I really think it was more people like me hitting the sales for stuff that we like then for people really shopping for anyone else. After that, I stopped at Barnes and Nobles to see if I could get the Star Bucks gift card I need for tomorrow night but since the Star Bucks is in Barnes and Nobles, they only do Barnes and Nobles gift cards. That was fine; I just decided to kill some time and wander around the store to see if there was anything that I might like to read on my week off. Probably not the best idea since I had my laptop with me and as I wasn’t leaving it in the car, I was carrying that bag around with me. After the first five minutes or so, the thing gets really heavy and I really wish I had left it at home. But someone said they were bringing a DVD to work and asked if I could bring it in the play it. And then they forgot the DVD. I did find two books to see if I like them and plan on reading them next week along with playing some computer games.
I didn’t spend to much time in the book store since I really am trying to limit the number of books I buy right now. By that point it was 5:20 and I just decided to go sit at Olive Garden until Gretchen got there. I am glad that I left early since it took me over twenty minutes to GET ACROSS THE DAMNED STREET. It drove me nuts. If I was so inclined, I could have walked across the street faster then it took me to move two feet in the parking lot. I still got there early though and when I texted Gretchen, she said go in and put my name in so we could get a table. They were not busy at all and so I got a table right away. I think the waitress felt sorry for me because I had to wait twenty minutes for Gretchen to get through traffic because she kept coming over and asking if I was okay and just randomly talking to me. It was nice actually. Dinner was not bad and while I do not like chocolate cake, we split chocolate cake and it was good. LOL.
Tomorrow I have to run to Star Bucks and WaWa to get two gifts cards and I do believe that I need to get my eye brows done. At least I do if they aren’t too crazy. With it being Christmas Eve, they might be packed. So I guess that means I am getting up early and hoping to beat the crowds out at the stores. Once we get home, I can play World of Warcraft and try to get my character to level 10 or higher. It’s weird being so low again but I deleted all my old characters. Yes, I know, that was stupid and crazy of me. But we shall see how I do. It can be fun and exciting. I do know we have dinner at Mel’s parents house tomorrow night though I’m not sure what time we need to be there so Steve is going to call our dad tomorrow morning and find out. And with that, I am freezing and sleepy so I think I’m going to go curl up in my bed and sleep for a bit.
