Oct. 11th, 2009 07:20 pmMade it to That Big Book Sale. Gotta say, by day three, the books were all kinds of picked over. And yet I still managed to snag some Sweet Valley crack. Okay, fine, it was stuff I either owned or was the Kids stuff. But still. STILL. There was also a lot of Lurlene McDaniel stuff. After awhile I had to say no because I just don't think I have the stomach for the stuff anymore. Plus there came a time when the books just stopped being so cheesteastic and wonderful and just... wtf-esque. And I don't remember where that line was drawn.
But mostly I'm all EEEEEEEEEE because Mums found a copy of The Worst Witch. :D :D :D
Anyway. Two bags of books (most of them mine) for 13.50 Not too bad.
Then I went and blew entirely too much money at AC Moore and Michaels because I cannot say no to Halloween crap. Oi. And it's wrong that the Halloween Express was so freakin' lame. SO. LAME. I expected the Widge to at least see something that might scar him for a couple of hours tonight, but the closest to scary we found were the things rocking like spazzes and the creepy demonic babies. I was awfully fond of the two headed one, but I wouldn't actually want it in my house even long enough to send it to Cass.
Truthfully, I still don't know how I managed to spend quite that much, even if you do subtract Widge's stuff instead of his allowance. Oh. Right. Freakin' Martha Stewart and her glitter pack of DOOM that I couldn't resist and then found for cheaper at Michael's. WTF, man. Michael's is the more expensive of the two on a general basis because they've got airconditioning that works. Everyone knows this, ja?
And now I've been reminded of something my brain keeps erasing. Those damn Barbie commercials where they start off with their version of Barbie Girl and then fuck it all up. Widge just does not understand why I might want the toy but want to spork my ears out first. I'm sure someone else out there feels the same.
Now, I shall end on something cute. Widge has been collecting the Build a Bear toys from McDonald's and I've got one, and he's got a whole party scene set up here. I'm pretending it's to celebrate the start of my vacation. So cute! I'll ask him to reset the rest of it and I'll take pictures and force you to care.
