So, I went out today and finished up (just about) my holiday shopping. I know what some of you are thinking, "She's crazy to hit the mall so close to Christmas!" Honestly, I had the most pleasant shopping experience today--all the clerks/cashiers were nice and so were shoppers. (Though, I wish that someone would put a bookstore in the inner cities--I shouldn't have to drive to Manhattan Beach or Torrance for a book. Blacks and Latinos read too, yo!) :)
I went from Compton to Manhattan Beach, shopping at different stores for items that I needed.
Like the new
carriejones novel, Need. I can't wait to sink my teeth into this book! (Yeah, that's a McDonald's bag in the background, so what?! I got hungry after all my shopping.)

I love all the gifts I got, including this awesome Pez set for my dad. (Thank goodness he doesn't read this journal! LOL)

I wanted one too but I figured the novel from B&N and the discounted set of AMC movie tickets I bought myself from Costco were enough of a "Merry Christmas to Me" presents. Anyway, my dad and I are Star Trek FANATICS and I know he's going to love his gift.
Well, I'm off to have some holiday time with the fam. Merry Christmas to everyone and may all your dreams for the New Year come true!
