Well, so much for trying to blog more, hahaha.
I've been working, today was the sixth day in a row, and tomorrow will be the seventh. It's awesome. Well, my paycheque will be, eventually. Plus I get a bonus coming up since it's retail and we did the awesome 100% goal that was set. wooh.
That's at least something we get for working our butts off all the time.

Anyway, I have a plan, a new journal plan, (because I accidentally went to Michaels which I always vow not to go to, but did anyway looking for 1/4" grommets in a larger numeration that 12 sets-- didn't happen. I don't know where else to go!)
And so I accidentally walked by the clearance, and there was an A for my name and that was that- a journal that I really didn't need.
So now it's a crafting journal. And I've decided that I'm going to work on making as many of my own xmas presents as I can, because I'm cool like that. Also because I can't seem to find stuff ever for people, or when I do it costs me a billion dollars. So I'm going to do a bunch of stuff that I created specifically for them. As a result of that, I've started some things already, some of which I can't post since I know some people read my blog sometimes, but it'll be awesome.
I have this frog thing for my brother, and the little guys are made up just for him. I know it's just paper mache, but I mean, they're so cute. Originally it started out with a little pencil holder, and then last xmas it was a bedside table with a couple of frogs on it, and I'm thinking a lamp to put ON the table with a frog under it, fishing, this year.
Yeah, I'm a kid at heart, so kids are honestly the easiest.
You know who's hard though? My dad and grampa. Honestly.
My grampa just doesn't want anything and gets mad at you when you get him something (which feels bad when you've gone and even made sure it was cheap but made sense to some sentimental memories of your childhood and then he just yells at you-yeah, I'm harbouring some sad xmas memories.)
And my dad? Honestly? He likes motorcycles, tools and math.
...
I'm in University, dude! Motorcycles (and parts and accessories) are so out of my price range. So I don't know. Maybe I'll find something good or think something up in the six months I have. *cough, cough*
Ps: they both hate ties.
