Black Friday in Hello

Swore I wasn’t going to do any Black Friday shopping but ended up doing it anyway.

Mom wanted to go to Ollie’s today so we first did lunch at Blue Plate Cafe. The chicken strips were meh but the hash brown casserole and house made slaw were to die for. Headed to the ass end of Madison for Ollie’s after to look for Christmas ornaments but they didn’t have any. Got myself a Look and Find Zombie Apocalypse book.

She mentioned going to Five Below so we headed to the Jones Valley Target shopping center. Started at Party City looking for a birthday tiara for one of her coworkers. No dice. Dollar Tree next and they did have a tiara. She also got a few little things and candy as Christmas gifts for other coworkers. (People do things for her all the time. She’s well respected and loved among her coworkers.)

While she was in there I went to Barnes and Noble and dropped $81.68 on two Neil Gaiman books, a Christopher Moore book and a sci-fi/fantasy art book. (Seriously! I stood for ten minutes drooling over the art so yeah, I had to get it. Ha!)

Then on to Five Below where I got some sour candy and she purchased two thermal cat pads for the kitty house outside the strays sleep in. The manager there was a super hot, tight black pants wearing, Doc Martin stompin’ punk rock girl. I fell in love. Lmao

By this point the sun had gone down and we had been out for over five hours. Came home to leftovers for dinner.

Thanksgiving was fun. Got to hang with my cousin. Sammy. He like a little brother to me. We talked comics, anime/manga and of course, video games. He just recently turned 18 and has issues with hyperactivity and the like. Reminds me of me. Plus his mom is a super bitch so....ya. I try to look out for him when he’s around..

Got to see Georgie’s dad/mom’s ex. Uh…her mom. Cousin’s daughter. Eric has had issues like me too so kindred spirits I guess? After my old man’s funeral back when I was 16 he and cuz took me to a movie. (Lou Diamond Phillips in Bats. Horrible effin’ film.) Before that he busted out a bong and got me royally stoned. I think that was like my fifth or sixth time ever smoking weed. So ya, we bonded 22 years ago.
