Holiday update
Hey all,
Since my work is closed for this whole week I haven't been online as much and have therefore been neglecting this blog. But I decided that I might as well give ya'll some sort of update.
X-mas went ok, lots of food and fun. I am going to end up playing the return game a lot this year. Yep, unfortunately.
let's figure it out...
I got 2 copies of charlie and the chocolate factory. I'm keeping the deluxe and returning the basic widescreen. And then for some reason my parents decided to get me a copy of war of the worlds. I hadn't even seen the movie, and hadn't heard anything good about it either. So I rented that one, and we watched it tonight. Yeah... that unopened one that was in the box... it's goin back to the store and I'm getting a good movie instead.
Then there's the clothes to return, 2 different stores there. Why oh why couldn't they have come from the same store? Dunno if I'm gonna get more clothes or not. I have more pants than will fit in the drawer, and I'm pretty good on tops as well. Hopefully I'll either find something that I can use, or just get money back. Even though I have heard rumors of return policies being tightened.
Then there's still the unknown gift handbag set. Dunno if I'll return it or not. I don't think I'll use it. It's red, and not my style at all. But I have no reciept to return it with, and I think that wally world has already put all that holiday exclusive stuff on clearance. which means that I'd probably get half at best. I may take it and see what happens. I guess I don't have to return it if it doesn't feel right.
I feel bad. I almost never return gifts. And this year I'm looking at returning about half. Even worse is that I'll probably end up getting things that are completely different from the original gift as well.
I'm just hoping that the majority of people are returning to work, and I won't have to fight quite as bad to return these things.
In other news, the dollar gift exchange game went well. The friends of the family whom we asked to play this year seemed to have fun with it. I think that the worst of my dollar gifts was a second cd wallet that was a nasty purple and pink. I think my brother ended up getting stuck with a whole slew of dollar movies, (hehe) and of course various other random dollar stuff was around. I really like that game, and I hope that we continue to play it.
Umm, that's all I can think of for right now. I'm headed out to face the stores tomorrow.

Good luck on your returns! I actually wont be returning anything this year, usually I have to return at least one item.
Yeah, War of the Worlds is pretty crappy. I rented it a while back, and was pretty unimpressed. Smart thinking on renting it before opening the one that was a gift.
