Happy Days!

Niki expects me to be happy for eight days, and who am i not to oblige? I will, however, be cheating and doing two days in this post because I guarantee I will forget by the end of the week.
Yesterday, aka Day 1:
-Last day of work for over a week, FTW!
-Matt, Miss Kathy and I exchanged gifts last night, because they left this morning. Matt and FL Jenn went in together and bought me the special edition Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite. Hooray! Of course, I already knew this because my mom has a big mouth. So, when I was buying Jenn's gift at Toys R Us I bought two games! And Miss Kathy gave me a $50 Wal-Mart card, so I went out and got a third.
-We went to see Abigail Breslin at Candlelight Processional. She was adorable!
-Mike fixed my passenger door lock! (Niki, I used one of your Magic Cookie Bars as payment, also a low cut shirt.)
-But the best part of the day was Matt and Miss Kathy opening their presents from me! I made Miss Kathy some earrings that she adored! And I made Matt a gold-filled box chain bracelet. And I found a cookbook at Half Price Books while I was in Texas that he lost several years back! I think it truly is better to give.
Today, aka The Deuce:
-I've had the house to myself since Matt and Miss Kathy left.
-I'll be making Date Roll as soon as I'm done with this post....mmmmm...Date Roll...
-Today has been pretty uneventful. But I'm happy to be alive!
-Also, I'm having Niki's chocolate chip cookies for dinner...I guess I should see if I have any milk, or I'll have to run to Publix. SPEAKING OF PUBLIX...NEW CHRISTMAS COMMERCIAL! (Stupid YouTube doesn't have a good link yet...) It takes second place behind the Valentine's Day cake!
-DATE ROLL!!!!

I went and bought the Lego Star Wars game because I love that freakin' game. I'll buy my own damn XBox if I have to.
The moral of this story is, We both buy games before we get our presents so we're basically the same person.

NY Matt let me borrow SW Lego for Wii, and I want to like it so badly, but I suck at it. I've been considering it for the DS since it's only $20.

I don't like the regular games on the Wii so much. I can't do the wand thing and the controller very well. I'm old school. I just want one thing I can hold in my hand! If I had my way, we'd go back to the old Atari joysticks. (no I kid.)

Although, I also know I'm getting Wii Music and Carnival Games for Christmas, and I feel both of those will be awesome. But Matt and I are both all, "Lets buy the original Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda! No motion control required! Plus, we know how to play those!"
