Lots and lots of photos that I need to take off of my cell phone and move onto my computer and then opening up Photoshop in order to shove all the somewhat clear photos into the template and then save them as a .jpg… Oh, the work! But I have photos of baking (when J came over and we persevered and made over 200 cookies), a Christmas card (that I just receieved from Cody at HumanGirl.com) and the mini-tree ornaments I bought today that will look awesome decking out my mini tree next year (which, unfortunately, falls over whenever I try to put on the regular-sized ornaments onto it’s teeny, spindly little branches).

@ Cole - that would work, if he didn’t work at the same company as my mom. And lying, in the situation with my parents and the restrictions that they’ve placed on my life is, is more beneficial than detrimental.

But in my defense, I did need some of the things that I got today. Plus, I was shopping with my sister and my dad told her to put everything I wanted on the credit card that is linked to his account. So, in reality, I wasn’t that bad. I mean, really, my parents are paying for it. Still, I managed to get almost everything on sale. So I mean, I do fairly decent in terms of getting things that were on sale (which was, umm, almost everything?). Other things that I bought today while out with the family was a giant box of Nature Valley granola bars (64 bars, 4 different flavours, $13) and sandwich fixings (non-Maple Leaf sliced meat, tomatoes, lettuce). Nomnom, food!

Now I’m going to go back to doing my biology assignment because I don’t feel like doing it tomorrow. (more…)
