And We're Off...

So, its official, I've bought my first real Christmas present. I bought my brother the blue camoflague bedset he wanted. It was on Target.com and right now they have a ton of the bedding stuff being sent with free shipping and then there's also like a 10% off promo going on now online. The free shipping ends Friday, well today actually so i figured what the hell, what better time to buy it then right now? So i bought it using my, what else credit card, not to worry i am constantly adding up how much i owe and checking my account on the website so I'm good. Anyway it was exciting to buy it.

I also saw at the actual Target store today this bed tent thing that looked wicked awesome. It like zips over a twin bed and is like a mesh material but is rounded over the bed like a well, tent. It looks so freakin' cool and its only 20 bucks so i want to get that as well. Also he has decided that his big present that he wants this year is a Nintendo DS Lite so I'm excited i love buying the big stuff like that. It looks pretty cool too. I'm obvioulsy going to wait till closer to like the day after Thanksgiving otherwise known as Black Friday, to purchase that on the hopes that there will be sales for the DS and bundles and stuff. But right now at Cicuit city or Best Buy the game Nintendogs is on sale for 20 bucks and it looks so cool. I think I may get that for him now.

I am so late with my Christmas shopping, last year i had Christmas presents that i was buying in July. I'm ready to get this shopping show on the road though. I love Christmas, it makes me so happy to buy gifts for people or makes things for people and know that they are going to like it. I love the songs, the food, the lights, the decorations, just everything about it, and having a young child in the house makes it all the better. Oh lol also on the Mindware website they have a Venus Flytrap growing kit, that comes with seeds to grow several carnivorous plants that i wanted to get last year but failed to do so, this year i will definitely be getting that.

Moving on, the trip to Carlsbad Caverns was as i expected, which is to say there was a big argument, lots of silence, then sleeping, then getting there and acting like it never happened and then walking for freaking ever and eating at some nasty place and coming home. My mom and dad got into an argument literally 2 minutes away from the house. So for the rest of the two hours they either didnt talk, barely talked or my mom slept. It was fun all around. My brother slept the whole way pretty much and tried to stay awake with my dad but i had stayed up the whole night so i was too damn tired to stay up for long. Plus when we actually got there and started walking I felt awful, like my cough came back full force and it made me feel so icky i wanted to cry. But i got through it and some of the stuff was beautiful and so awe-inspiring, plus my brother thought it was pretty cool and that was what mattered. Then we had to eat at Furrs on the way back, i despise Furrs almost more than any other restaurant because i dont eat most of the stuff they serve but i got through that as well.

Anyway my sister did take William to the vet. The vet didnt get to my sister and William in time that day but we did get the voucher for the free visit. Anyway she did find out one important thing, even though she didnt get to do the appointment my sister asked one of the technicians if they could please at least tell us if he was a boy or a girl and...He's a BOY!!! Thank God. Anyway we took him to the vet this past Monday which is when his free exam was scheduled for (after my jury duty bust which was such a horrible waste of time) and found out some good and some really bad. William is a healthy, sweet Tabby cat. He's about 2 years old and weighs 9.8 pounds. But there was something scary, he only has one testicle, the other one hasn't dropped and the vet (whom i loved by the way she was so awesome and made me want to be a vet like i did when i was a teenager) said this puts him at an increased risk for testicular cancer but if we get him neutered (which he is not) that will take care of that problem.

The procedure is extremely expensive for us anyway but we will do it, we will get the shots and tests he needs first and then we will take William to that same vet and have them do the procedure which is expensive because of William's unique circumstances, meaning they have to make two separate incisions and various other things, but we will get it done. He is the sweetest thing in the world. I love him so much.

Anyway i suppose that's all for now, I missed writing, its become very cathartic for me. I've been watching a lot of early Buffy, like Season 1, 2, 3 and the first few eps of 4 but now i feel like watching "Once More With Feeling" so i think i shall do that.
