The Crock Pot Delimma

Last Friday, my friends and I went to the mall on a mission; to purchase my mother a Crock Pot for Christmas. Our current Crock Pot is from the 80s, and I think its about time we get a new one. I had researched all these Crock Pots, and had decided the model I wanted, everything was set. We went to Macys, and I found my CrockPot, while also paying a small fortune for the thing. Instead of putting my dear Crock Pot in a bag, the lady at the counter attached this strap thing to it, leaving me to carry a freaking Crock Pot all through the mall.

Great.

So I carry the heavy thing for about two more hours, and I get quite a few odd stares. We counted 17, not to mention the "Can I help you? Nice Crock Pot." as we entered each store.

After the mall, I came home and wrapped my lovely present, and set it under the tree. Victory!

Today, my mother was looking through her Crock Pot cookbook, and I dropped the hint "Wouldn't It be nice if you had a new Crock Pot? One you could fit a chicken in?" Then she goes "Yes. But no one get me a Crock Pot!

AIJKLFJLAKFJALKFJAKGJSKDJGS NOW WHAT. I can't drive 45 minutes to go get another present. She is just going to have to deal with her dumb Crock Pot. Ugh, thanks mom.

Me and my man pants :)


Oh, man. It's been awhile. A LONG while. And I have alot to say, but lets start with something simple. Black Friday.

So, it's November 30th and I'm up at 6 AM in the morning. There is something wrong with that! Anyways, half an hour and a black coffee from Starbucks later, we are almost at the mall. (One of the two malls in the state. Haha) So anyways, we are waiting in this really long line to enter the Best Buy parking lot, when we see two cars that looked like they crashed into each other, and a ton of smoke. Not only that, but there was a firetruck, and a news crew. So my mom and I are freaking out, then she starts yelling "It might blow up! Get your camera out, this could be your Pulitzer!" So my mom and I sit there spazzing for a good 10 minutes. Finally, we get into the parking lot, and guess what? It was some guy barbecuing ribs for charity! The smoke was from the grill! I just about died.
Continuing on, I am happy to say I discovered something in Target. Something so amazing, so unique, so beautiful, I really have no idea how I lived my life without them. You know what it is? Man pants. $5 sweatpants from the men's section at Target. You thought it was going to be something pretty and shinny didn't you? Well I'm sorry to disappoint, but seriously. You have got to try these things! I bought 8 pairs. So now I wear man pants every day to school, and I have to say, I've never been happier. It's all about enjoying the little things, even if it is just a cheap pair of pants. :)
