Blah, blah, blah…

Um…Dang it, I’m sure I almost had a thought when I opened this thing up to type in.

Friday…It was…Eh. Not really bad, just there. Harley couldn’t go on his fieldtrip, so I had him till 11. Then took him to school, went to Gaylord to do a little shopping. Got something that might pass as one of the things on Harley’s wish list (a Nerf build your own blaster thing). Got Sonja a game she’s been wanting (Hungry, Hungry Hippos…Me wanted it too…So we can play togethers. J ). So they’ll each have at least one thing they really want. Well…Two actually, as Harley will be getting his ‘trench’ (at least I hope what I got for him satisfies) and Sonja will be getting her own Tripp pants, which I know she’ll love. J

Got Mum the photo program for the computer…Not the one she said that McCutcheon said would be good enough for what she needs (as I couldn’t find that one). This one is the latest released. O.o So yeah…It was a pretty penny…But Mum deserves it. &…I can put it on my puter and play with it too. *laughs*

Trying to make my wish list for Mum…Told her last night I know of two things I do really want, but the only place I’ve seen them is on Amazon.com. One is the boxed set of Squidbillies. Gods, that cartoon is just so warped. But I likies it…And on top of me liking it…It also happens to be Todd’s favourite Adult Swim cartoon. He’s actually mentioned it the last couple times we’ve talked. [There was actually once this summer/fall – can’t remember which for sure – that we’d been sitting outside and it came up in conversation, then when we went inside, it was actually on TV! So we sat down and watched it. J Awww…We have our own cartoon. *falls over laughing* Gods, I‘m mental. *laughs*]

The other thing…A book…But not just ANY book (which is why it’s near impossible to find it anywhere else)…Phantasmagoria (Tales of the Dead). It is the (finally) English translation of the book that was read at Villa Diodati the summer that Polidori spent with those other people there. *waves off stupid Byron* [Gods, have I mentioned I hate that man lately? *snickers*]

Anyway…Made a deal of sorts with Mum yesterday…Asked since she’s getting me new boots for Yule, if Santie could get me new tennies for Yule…I swear my clothing/footwear is cursed of late [Last Thursday the zipper in one of my favourite pairs of jeans broke. Since my boots are down, had to wear my tennis shoes (which in all honesty were worn out a bit the first summer I had them, and that was two summers ago)…Well I was walking through the slush Thursday and my heel was getting wet, as it was going through the bottom of my shoe! O.o] Last Friday the zipper in my everyday wear boots broke. She said yeah, go ahead. Which is one reason I went to Gaylord yesterday too.

I got goodie bags ready for the Critter’s classes…Though I wish I could find something a little more to put in them. The one things I picked up for them didn’t work out as well as it looked like it was going to originally…So they were short a thing a piece. I’m suppose to be making cookies somewhere along the lines…So if I do manage that one, I can put a couple cookies in baggies and drop them in there too I suppose.
I’ve also got a goodie bag made up for Chase (Todd’s nephew), since Crystal (Todd’s sister) and him are living at Todd’s parent’s house, with them. Not sure I’ll actually be around that area at Christmas…But I can always send it with Todd…I’m at least hoping I’ll get to see him between now and then. His pressie still hasn’t gotten here yet, though it was sent out the other day…It’s got to come from Amsterdam though. O.o Yeah…I’m ordering gifts from the Netherlands. *laughs*

Gave Sonja some Sculpey the other day…Harley wanted some too. Sonja has a dozen little things made up for me to bake this week-end while they are gone. Harley’s Sculpey has yielded but one little figurine…And I made that one! It was on Harley’s request…It’s suppose to be Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog (as Harley has not declared himself that as well…To go with Sonja being Mittens).
Mum points out that the actual creating of stuff out of such is not his thing. It’s mine and the girl’s thing…Harley does like to smoosh it, but not so much create.
Actually, I think the main reason for that is he doesn’t have the patience (yeah, like me or Sonja either one have much of that either) to do the creating at this point…Cuz he was trying, but he’s also got this perfectionist thing…If it’s not exactly like he thinks it should be, he starts to melt down.

I’m going to make a few more things out of Sculpey before cooking what they have…I’m not totally sure what though.

Last night I was knee deep in magazine scraps again. O.o I’m done with 2-D design, yet I’m still playing with montages! Ahhhhh! *laughs* I should of scanned the Critter’s montages before I put them behind glass…If I’d been thinking, but those frames are hard to get apart, and I’d fear ripping the montage if I tried to remove them at this point. Sonja’s I’m quite pleased with. The background is black with white dots that are to look like stars, and the bottom half of it is blue-green-ish. There is a big black shadow looking cat, which has a striped cat off to one side, a bobcat off to the other side, and a little tiger lying down in front. Harley’s…I was having more trouble with…With all my scraps I really didn’t have much that yelled out boy! [Guess that’s what happens when most of them come out of women’s magazines. *laughs*] But I did have three snakes, which I managed to turn into a fairly decent montage…Though it seems to be lacking something…But I’m sure he won’t notice.

I’m going to see if Mum wants to go to the Dollar Store(s) today. She needs to do some shopping for the people at work…They do this ‘gag’ gift Christmas thing…Only spend a couple dollars per person, and she needs to get her shopping done, as their exchange is coming up quickly. Don’t know if she’ll want to go to Gaylord, or T.C.
Gaylord only has 1 dollar store, T.C. has four or five! *laughs*

Well…As I still haven’t yet ordered weaponry for my family, I must got to Bud K’s website and do that…Weapons for Christmas, what could be betters? *grins* Hehe.

& the slider doors are officially frozen shut! O.o Stupid snow.
