Still Alive and Kicking

Yesterday I dragged Daughter out of her cave/room to go shopping; as I was in need of several items, not the least was Christmas prezzies for Husband. Went to Farm & Fleet and priced artificial evergreen garlands, and ended up buying new sleep pants (my old ones being so worn in spots that they were on the verge of transparent!), a pair of warm anklets, and a lovely royal blue corduroy over shirt with white embroidery all over (this seems to be a recent trend for me -- pre-embroidered fabrics) -- for which I felt a tad guilty, as I really hadn't intended to spend so much money on myself!!! (especially after LAST weekend in Lombard -- waves at neadods). I located at least one of the items on Husband's Christmas list at Lowe's, and one at Best Buy (which I later saw at FYE in the mall on sale $10 cheaper -- oh well) but no luck on the Craftsman Utility Knife which we'd seen at Sears two weeks ago.

FYE -- dangerous place.... I picked up a Best of Queen CD triple pack, the 2nd 'Music from NCIS' CD, a box of almond pocky and... sigh... a pack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards..... It's for Research !!!! I NEED the cards so I can (eventually) fake a 'sealed deck' duel between Seto Kaiba and Ryou Bakura... yah, pathetic.....

Daughter 'tsked' at me and when I threatened to play 'Death Note Puppet Pals' again, she countered by reminding me that 'she knows where I sleep'. Still, a productive outing, as I garnered an idea on what to get Daughter for Christmas (other than cash and gift cards); and so we returned home.

Took a nap with Husband (he'd had to work yesterday morning, but was home by lunchtime), made gyros for supper and watched the first DvD of 'Descendant's of Darkness' -- challenged Husband to 'Name that Voice Actor'.... he spotted Dan Green the first time Tsuzuki summoned Suzaku (Exodia, Obliterate! anyone?), but was "WTF??' when I told him that Watari was EricStuart-sama --- Kukukukukuku! Although to be honest, if I hadn't known better I would have thought Ted Lewis myself.

Ho hum.... time for the Sunday afternoon nap..... after which, more D0D, I think....

ETA: Oh, finished the swirly striped hat -- looks almost as good as the picture that came with the instructions. Almost finished with the one I started last weekend in Lombard.... can one get carpal tunnel syndrome from too much knitting in too short a time period? Saw a cool 'Alice' T-shirt at HOT TOPIC with the Cheshire cat regarding Time... might go back and get it later this week.
