Spent the day with Mom today! That's how most Fridays go.
In the morning we dropped my PC off at Encode to have a diagnostic run, since it's been revving really badly and running super slow lately. That was around 11, and they worked on it and I picked it back up around 7-ish. Basically, they said they couldn't find anything wrong with the fans (I know they're dying, but usually they don't start acting up until the computer's been on for a while and they didn't run it long enough... whatever, I guess I'll just have to run them until they die completely.)
Anyway, they cleaned out the inside to rid it of dust and then upgraded the RAM for me. X3 NOW IT RUNS FAST~~~
After dropping my PC off, we went up to Zellers and had lunch there (chicken penne pomadora! <3), and I got some more earplugs and new rechargable batteries, and then snuck off to pick up a bunch of gift certificates for Mom for Christmas. ^^ She wants new clothes, so that's the best way to do it. ♥
Then groceries, and we bought like $200 worth of baking supplies so I can get all the Christmas baking done finally... I'm so late this year! >< Usually I do all the baking early in December, so now I've got to rush and do it all over the next few days. Macaroons, shortbread, broken glass torte, fruitcake, date squares and buttertart squares! Yum!
Anyway, while we were at the bulk food store I FOUND SNOW BALLS! ZOMG! >3< They're these marshmallow things that are covered in chocolate and then rolled in coconut OMG SO YUMMY! I first had them back in like 2008, and haven't been able to find them again since, I was so excited to see them! BWAHA, so I bought a bunch and I'm now on a major sugar high from them, lol.
I also got some more Gingerbread Spice tea there, but it's actually for Lois to add to her Christmas present this year. Speaking of which, Dad's coming up on the Sunday before Christmas to exchange gifts, yey. And this Sunday I'm going out shopping with my brother, so basically we're taking a cab to Walmart and I'm putting stuff in the cart and then he's paying for it all. xDD; He hates Christmas shopping, so he just lets me do it and comes along to pay for it, lol, it's hilarious. Last year I even picked out my own gift and then wrapped it later. XD;;
This year he says he's already got my present and he's super proud of himself so that makes me kind of happy for him. He rarely shows interest in shopping or finding gifts for people, and he's so excited about it. Doesn't matter what he got me, I'll still be happy and love it. ^^~
So, having done all that shopping we came back and wrapped some presents, and finished decorating the tree here. Now I'm going to be spending the night so Mom and I can work on baking tomorrow. We won't get it all done, but at least we'll get a start at it. <3
I can't wait to get home tomorrow and set my computer back up again. X33
