I had an epiphany this morning; I could get my sister a new pair of Old Navy flip flops for her birthday today. As I said in a previous post, she lives in those things, even in winter, and they're super cheap. I was planning on driving down to the Old Navy outlet the next town down, but I checked Old Navy's site first. As luck would have it, not only did they have the flip flops in stock, but they were having a free shipping special. Yippee! I was able to get my sister a birthday present for just $3.75, and it's a present that she'll actually use. Unfortunately, she won't get it today, but better late than never.Now that the birthday present has been taken care of, I have to sit down and make my mom a Christmas list. Yep, that's right. I still haven't made my Christmas list yet. I know what you're thinking. It's getting down to the wire, but my mom hasn't gotten her Christmas bonus yet so I haven't seen the need until now. The problem with me and lists is that my mind goes blank the minute that I pick up the pen and piece of paper or, in this case, click the compose button on Yahoo email. All I can think of to put on the list right now is a replacement fish tank. If that's all I put, my mom will be nagging me for the next week wanting to know what else I want. I guess that means that I'll just have to take a few days to think of what I want besides a new fish tank before I email the list to my mom.
Here's a thought: what about a video game console? I know that I'm probably too old to be asking for one, but I never had anything but an Atari as a kid, and even then I only had three games. It wouldn't even have to be a playstation 3, an Xbox 360, or a Wii. I'd settle for a Playstation 2. You can get cheap Playstation 2 games at the Dollar General, Big Lots, and Fred's, some as low as $5. That's not a bad deal. I just wonder if I would actually ever play it except for when Chandler visits. I have a hard drive full of games, but, with the exception of Polar Bowler, Polar Golfer, and Shoot the Roach, they pretty much remain untouched 90 percent of the year. Would I treat a Playstation the same way?
Uh...yes...no...maybe...I don't know. Okay, I'm scratching a Playstation off the list for now, but I'm replacing it with Mario Golf for my Gameboy. It's much cheaper, and I'm sure that I would play it.
