Jake and I went Christmas shopping yesterday. 1st, we hit up the K-mart on the Lima Mall side of town. I really need to go there more often because they have a ton of cool gift ideas and possibilities! I got a bunch of stuff there because it was cheaper than I'd found it anywhere else, and I actually liked the stuff a lot more. He ended up spending more than me, which I thought was funny because it's not what you would have expected to happen, but we both got an awesome start on our shopping for this year!
After we left K-mart, we drove over to the Mall because I still needed to get a b-day present for my brother, and I had had something in mind for a while. His room is eventually going to be decorated with a 'Dr. Pepper' theme (don't ask me why because I don't know), and there's a shop at the Mall called 'Treasure Chest' and they have a bunch of tin signs that have vintage themes and such on them. Anyways. They have some from old Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew, etc. adds, and I wanted to get him a Dr. Pepper one. Since the store is in 1 of the locations that changes stores a lot, I was afraid that they'd be gone by the time I got there, but they weren't! So, I got his sign.
After that store, I ran across the mall to Bath & Body Works for some 'quick' items. Yeah right! I thought they were having a 5 for $25 sale, so that's all I was planning on spending. Instead, they were having a 7 for $35 with the 8th 1 being free sale...so I ended up spending almost $60, because I had to get some things besides the 8 for Nick's g/f. My time in the store probably wouldn't have been as long if I hadn't be skipped over when another lady opened up another register. I had clearly been waiting longer than the other ladies, but she saw them and took them over to her register. But whatever, I was just glad that I didn't have to be in the guy-with-the-really-strange-hair's line.
All-in-all, I spent way too much money, but I got a lot out of what I spent, so I would say that yesterday was a very good shopping day. :) Hopefully I'll be just as successful the next time I shop and maybe I'll get the remaining 1/2 of my list finished? *crosses fingers*

I have a serious love/hate relationship with Bath and Body works...they keep sending me little things to get free gifts after spending so much...and I keep doing it they're seriously eating my paychecks like WHOA!
Oh and you're totally right about boys needing instruction manuals.
