Random TR: Preparing for Christmas


ParkTrips

Recommended Posts

OK I didn't know how else to title this other than "Preparing for Christmas" since that is what this series of events all deals with. This is just part I of my TR.

 

Last night, my mom bought me a cool Christmas "figurine" and then this morning I decided I was going to get a tree. Its my first Christmas at home since getting my own place and I wanted one!! so yeah, the pictures tell a better story...

I tried to do the strands of popcorn next..

I started putting bulbs on and WTF, half of these ones were broken! grrrr

IMG_3448.JPG.5bb18b088a0964b3bc33abcd77cbb523.JPG

It took me 3 minutes to figure out how the thing of hooks worked..

I hear if you buy some DVDs from some crappy website, you can get one of these!

Apparently, the tree isn't edible. I wish the store clerk would have told me

Step one: Add lights!

.. yet it worked! Penguin came along for the ride.. ok I lie. I took him back to Target looking for one of his friends to replace him.

IMG_3423.JPG.d2ae1178cd1205035182c9d778dfb232.JPG

this doesn't look safe at all...

IMG_3422.JPG.4cee4c8db99fbdcec6fddd06f938605f.JPG

meanwhile, at Home Depot, I went and bought a tree. you're all mine, b****

IMG_3421.JPG.3acf7b94d389e71e167bff8e1c7d515c.JPG

so, I need to find a place to fit my tree cause I want it in that corner

IMG_3417.JPG.1779a51adccf3c1f5780bf942f3a897e.JPG

yup, nothing left in the box!

IMG_3416.JPG.7c18ed73f8e1e298fc6fb393065c40dc.JPG

however, penguin had a problem: he has no head. I went back to Target, and even another Target, but I think this may be the last one in West GA so I think I'm stuck with a headless penguin.

It's a Christmas penguin!! With Loo's Hymen-like flapping action =)

What's up with you American's and buying real Christmas Trees? BTW, nice work on assembling the penguin Jow.

Because that pine scent smells so damn good .

 

However, since my dad has asthma problems due to real trees, we settled for a small artificial tree with fiberoptic lights. Its small, but it looks pretty.

 

Nice TR though, Joe!

so this morning I decided I was going to get my mom a Wii... or at least try. It ended up being incredibly easy.

IMG_3498.JPG.2061b0c6a95a44255162c32c8d223aa1.JPG

After a couple minutes, I was $250 poorer but I had a Wii in hand, hooray!! There should be more coming up tonight!

IMG_3496.JPG.cc807a31636ceba6141590594f07790d.JPG

so I went home, and then came back at 6.. I was first in line! Wiiiiii!

IMG_3495.JPG.34a173f766316dabf1182ad7b47fbbc0.JPG

OK I got to Target at 5am hoping I wouldn't be too late.. wow I was wrong, there was no one there. Meanwhile, the lines at Best Buy started yesterday in the next town over

1) The penguin is far cooler headless... keep him that way.

 

2) Live trees suck... buy a fake one and it won't stink. But then again, maybe it wasn't the tree that stunk

 

3) You drive a Lexus!? How did you afford a car like that... oh wait...

 

4) Out of curiosity if you don't have a job how in god's name did you afford a Wii???? Because if you bought your Mom a Wii with money she gave you... I might fall even more in love with you then I already am!

 

Laura "Mom, can you give me some money for your gift?" Huls

OK the Lexus isn't mine... yet. Its my mom's, I couldn't fit a tree in my car, heck,l it barely fit in hers!

 

 

Oh, and I paid for it with my step dad's money

 

Just kidding! though I may be job-less at the moment, I have had jobs before... sorry to disappoint!

 

Yay Casino Niagara! Is that your tree-watering cup?

Exactly!

 

Did you get a new penguin? I think it would have been funny to just leave it headless.

Well.... there's more coming soon!

At Circuit city last weekend, the 12th people in line (last ones to get a Wii) got there at 4:10 a.m.

 

NOT. FAIR.
