Did Santa bring you everything you wanted?

I don't know about you guys but I made out pretty good this year!  I got most everything on my list except oddly I didn't get the 1 thing that I actually needed...everything else I wanted & got about 85% of that.  My top dog gift this year was DJ Hero, The Renegade Edition and my 2nd top dog gift was Wii Fit Plus & I'm loving both of them very much!!  I actually needed a gift card to either Penney's or Sears because I desperately need new boots for work & I didn't get it so it's looking like my broke ass is going to have to spend another winter in leaky boots, oh well!!  There was a video game I wanted that I didn't get & a DVD that I've asked for the last 3 years & am still without & then there was the Stanley mug from "the Office" that I wanted & didn't get so I'll just have to buy the damn thing myself! 

There were 2 things I got that I didn't ask for & I'm super happy with them.  I got...a...Snuggie & a Perfect Brownie pan!!  The pan I wanted but didn't ask for, I thought it was super cool & then there's the Snuggie which I have made fun of from day one & never understood what the point is & even though I still agree that it's pretty stupid I'm loving mine.  I think I'm going to add at least one snap on the back of the neck part because trying to get cozy with that damn thing completely open in the back just doesn't work, I lean forward & it starts to fall off & that's really annoying.  God forbid I try to walk in the damn thing, I have to pick up the bottom of it or I will trip & fall on my face & then the top of it starts to fall off & before I know it I'll be tangled up in leopard print fleece on the floor with a broken limb & that isn't cool.  So, what did you guys get that you wanted or didn't want?

Earlier Every Year!

Ok people, I stopped by Big Lots after work yesterday to grab something for work & when I walked in the door I was greeted by xmas trees, ornaments, dishes, welcome mats...all things X-mas & I'm fucking sorry but god damn...the X-mas season lasts long enough, why start it before Halloween is even here? I started looking around for some Halloween/fall/Thanksgiving home stuff & there was one tiny section, already marked down...WTF? We are only 4 weeks into fall & already the season is marked down? Not that I'm complaining about the fact that the door mat I plan on purchasing was marked down from 7 to 4 dollars but dude, why do we need to shop for fall in summer and winter in fall etc, the seasons are already short enough & these stores don't help any pushing holidays on us that are months away!! We keep wondering why time flies so fast...it's because of this shit & it just keeps getting worse, when I was a kid I know that X-mas crap didn't come out until after Halloween because mom & I would always go to Arbor Drugs & get those yummy X-mas cookies the week after Halloween!!
