The HJU Christmas Booty Thread!

I took advantage of Boxing Day(s) sales too myself. I got Asterix and the Vikings for 6$ as well as the first season of Astro Boy 1981 for 13$ (50 cent an episode! Woot!).

Sadly the Ultraman sets were not on sale...dang it!

That Boxing day... it's on the calendar if I'm not mistaken?? I always thought it ment like fight boxing day or something. lol Obviously not a Canadian. Our Black Friday thing sucks, we need boxing day.
 
I think Blade meant deodorant :p personally I prefer antiperspirant.

Yeah it's supposedly December 26th but nowadays a lot of stores extend it until december 31st.

Boxing I guess refers to fighting for good deals? I dunno... I heard it could get decent.

It's also a pain in a winter coat...hot hot hot.

This year was beyond fantastic with the exception of my brother-in-law, herein known as Waste of Space (WoS).
I flew out to Ohio courtesy of Skybus, which cost me $80 roundtrip (they are SUPER CHEAP) and we watched the kids open *1* present then off to bed. Tues we went to church after opening presents to ooohs and aahs. Among my delights was cash from my mom (love it), Ratatoille, Hot Fuzz, Burt's Bees stuff and cute 'homemade' blanket. My niece and nephew and sister made it, with 2 pieces of fleece (black and white with black 'cat paws') with the edges tied together. Its SUPER warm and cozy. Then WoS decided to sleep in skipping ALL the family joy, and when he returned from work that day he opened his gifts and complained about EVERY one. The kids were excited about the Ghost Hunters dvd they got bc he supposedly loves the show but his only comment was "I already saw these". We enjoyed a lovely dinner and watched Cars since I haven't seen it, and it was surprisingly entertaining.
The rest of the week flew by in a blur of activities, taking the kids to the movies (Elijah and mom saw Water Horse which he loved and Hannah and I saw Enchanted which we liked, me for McDreamy as Prince Charming :bueno_bub: )art museum with my mom for a Monet exhibit, the Conservatory (like the Domes), good German food, and way too much post Christmas sales shopping. I wound up buying a 2nd carryon bag for all my stuff. WoS was gone working much of the time, or he spent it (wisely) in his room sleeping. Seriously I've never seen anyone sleep so much.
There were much hugs and tears as I left but it was a good time. Now I just need to sleep for a day.


ETA: one sad point of the trip: Poor Herbert (R.I.P.). My mom found she had a small mouse in her room and set up 'humane' type traps which were just sticky stuff a plastic thing. Herbie (as I named him) didnt' make an appearance till Saturday evening when mom heard him and found him, tail stuck to the trap. He was SO cute, all tiny with grey and brown fur. Anyway, I had Anne get me a plastic bag since they wouldn't touch him ( mom was practically standing on a chair) but I wasn't sure if he was disease free, and I pulled him off. I knew it was too cold for him to be outside, but they wouldn't let him stay inside :( so I put him out on the grass. Sunday when we left for church I found him laying dead not far from where I put him. I yelled at my sister which made me feel alittle better.
 
It's so wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, and crisp, and pretty! Now I just have to crop/redo the WPs I have. :laugh:

So I had to take the monitor back to exchange it (dead pixel). As soon as I walked in the door there was an employee there who asked if I was wanted a refund or an exchange. I told him exchange and he called over another dude and told him to get a new monitor for me. I was done with the whole process in less than 10 minutes! Totally worth it too, no dead pixels on this "new new" one! :thumbs:
