Tomorrow is Dad's birthday and it's weird sort of remembering (like I considered asking off at the start of December and then got the ick and all thoughts flew out of my brain) and sort of forgetting. Mom's been in a funk and I can't say I blame her. The holidays weren't really either parent's favorite time of year since they both lost family members then and I gather 2023 would've been the parental 50th anniversary.
So, I did what one is supposed to do and indulged in retail therapy. :P I remembered, again, that NuiMOs are a thing last night but Disney did that thing where they have a sale but pull half or more of their merch until the sale is over. *rolls eyes out of skull* This morning they'd added new stuff and put back some of the stuff they'd yanked. I missed out on a marked down Jack Skellington, but I'm telling myself it's okay because his pants don't come off (weird sentence to type out and probably to read) and because Cass would've just talked me out of him anyway annnnnnnnd I'm still a little vexed about the gift she and I were supposed to go in halfsies for Jess, but then Cass hit me up for the cell phone bill and I said take out my portion of the bill from her half and send me whatever was over that. She did not. She also gave Jess the present and I didn't hear a single peep from Jess, which makes me strongly suspect that despite paying for the thing, and arranging everything but the actual gifting of said gift, I got left out of things. It was right when I was coming down with the ick from hell (like maybe the last day I could pretend I felt okay adjacent) so it didn't really click to me until later that Jess and I do have a chat going on FB and I do comment on her stuff so her not mentioning it at all to me? Means either I missed a post (possible, but she tags people religiously) or she thought it was just from Cass. It's weird and awkward and I don't like it and I still don't feel up to mentioning it to anyone so I content myself with not buying a Jack I know would be loved. The kicker, of course, is that the source of my vexation is a NBC Sally statue.
ANYWAY. I bought Miss Piggy some Valentine's Day stuff and glasses. I hope Rapunzel comes back at some point because I think she's who I want next but we'll see. Well. Untrue. I desperately wanted Magica De Spell but she was an exclusive and is impossible to find and I am not spending $100 on a tiny little plush. NOPE.
Got the new Valentine's Day dress because it's cute as hell. The Ursula inspired outfit that isn't Ursula inspired beyond the shell swirl on the shirt (there's a reason it's on clearance but I dig the skirt), the glasses accessory set, the new Punzie inspired outfit (that sweater is cuter than it has a right to be), the Star Wars holiday set because the Sith apron killed me, and the Denim Skirt and bandana set because I got caught up in the Valentine's Day of it all. Oh. And between shipping and taxes and shit, it was just friggin' cheaper to buy something else than to pay shipping, so uh, I got one of those stupid expensive mini backpacks for them because there was also Honey deal that paid for a quarter of it. So. Yeah.
Guess this means Piggy should actually get an outfit change now, huh? She and Kermit hold my glasses so they're close by and I see them daily but it's been entirely too long since I changed her outfit. Kermit kind of lives in his outfit though he has options. Options I don't necessarily see him utilizing but Piggy says he needed options.
