I survived, barely.

Yesterday was a crazy day to go shopping, the money and gift cards the kids got was burning a hole in their pockets. I know I used to be the same so what can you do. We headed into Muncie around 11 or so had to stop out at Tammy's work to drop off her phone and took her a little lunch. The plan was to stop back by to show her the loot the kids got but that never happened. It seemed like the day after Thanksgiving all over, people everywhere. Went to Wal-Mart and Tyson did some of his shopping there and was done rather quickly. Off to Family Christian stores for me and got some goodies and even have a bit left for next time. We were there for 15-20 minutes got up to the checkout and I decided against one cd I got and took it back to get another, get back up to the line, which there was only 1 person in front of us but Granny Gert decided to buy 15 boxes of Christmas cards then when she paid for them she decided to put the receipt in her purse without signing it so then she had to DIG it out to finish. Got done there and off to Toys R Us which once again didn't take that long. Stopped in for a few seconds at Best Buy, usually one of my favorite stores but I've been unimpressed the last few times I've been there. It took us longer to park then the time we spent inside. Now off to the mall.

I've said it before but some drivers in Muncie have no clue. Dodging cars and pot holes down McGaliard we went and the first turn in by Target the line started way back, no problem go to the one by Burger King, it started after the first one ended, no problem we will go up to the original turn in, problem, train. With the train our light was red while the other was green, we're stuck all we need to do is turn. Got tired of waiting so we did a big U-turn and headed back and got in finally. The mall was insane, Taylor was doing the shopping here so it took a little longer. She went to Wet Seal and got a pair of pants for like $26 and right behind them was a rack with the same type of jeans for $15 with a deal of buy 2 get a pair for a penny. Nope lets get the $26 ones. Off to Aeropostal where the line went from the register to the back of the store around the back and up to the changing room. Needless to say Tyson and I bailed and she was in there for at least an hour. Now alot of that was waiting in line but next year we either wait for a day or two or like I joked with Mom & Dad whoever gets her the gift card gets to take her.

We survived and got some pizza from Papa Murphy's and a movie for Tammy and I to watch "Burn After Reading" which we made it about 30 minutes in then after hearing the "f word" about 50 times we looked at each other and deciding that this has to be one of the stupidest movies we've seen we took it out and started to watch Wings only to realize we've already watched that particular DVD so we watched a thing on Lighthouses. Got to play a little PS2 with Sprint Cars 2 for a bit so the evening ended on a good note.
