So today was the day my family bravely embarked on our Christmas shopping excursion to Target. In lieu of normal Christmas gifts this year, we decided that we would hit Target for the after-Christmas sales. We also did this because buying gifts for people is very difficult to do and rather time consuming. So we instead bought ourselves what we each needed. I bought practical things: jewelry organizer, pillow, blanket, nothing especially exciting. Which makes it kinda lame- but in the long run I know i'll appreciate and use all of those things every day. and that way the money I received for Christmas (all $325 of it! yus!) can go toward gas money. and cell phone bills. and the occasional lunch with a friend. and I won't have to spend it on much needed essentials. (looking back, I wish I had bought myself one or two more things just for me. I considered a sweater. or some earrings. Or maybe The Killer albums I'm missing. I mean, it is my Christmas gifts, right? Oh well. I bought Ghostbusters though. That movie is a classic. I'm going to make my boyfriend watch it with me. because it's a classic)
Awkward thing happened at check out though. We had TONS of stuff. like three carts full. and they're ringing us up- the purchase getting close to a thousand dollars. and the computer CRASHED. security came. it was awkward. We had to re-ring everything again. the purchase ended up being over a thousand dollars, even with our 5% off and all the sale items we picked out. I feel spoiled. but then again, we were just buying things we would've wanted/needed for the year- just all at once. so not so bad I guess.
