Back from the parents' house
Jan. 3rd, 2006 07:03 amHappy to be home. We got home Sunday night, late.
It was a lovely New Year's Eve/Day. My mom cooked lovely meals, with enough leftovers to have an entire meal last night here at the apartment. Mmm! Fondue is awesome. I always think about all of the fondue pots given during the sixties/seventies as gifts, and how my family is one of the few who put it to good use for many, many years. Heh.
We saw King Kong on NYE, and I'll write a blurb about it at some point.
Finally got out and purchased new clothing from Vain Giant (Lane Bryant). Thank goodness. It seemed a little expensive, but it's because I missed a sign for a pair of pants and thought they were much cheaper than they actually were. I also bought one of those Seven pairs of jeans, the kind that are $89.50, but they were clearanced and in my size, and I bought them for around $30, yay happy. However, I'll have to go back, because they forgot to take the security tag off. Heh.
Also returned a Josh Groban CD that was supposed to be a gift for my mom, but turns out she wouldn't want it, it's a live CD and she hates those.
On the way back from shopping part of my exhaust system fell off my car. Is this one of those clues that point to a new car? Yeah, but I'm stubborn. I'm at 180,000 and I'd like to finish at 200K before I finally close the curtains. One more year. I'm hoping it's not an expensive one, or that will defeat the purpose of driving it another year.
