home again, home again, jiggity jig. . .

just got home from a weekend long stay at my aunt's. she's in her early 30's, and we're more like friends than aunt-niece. so staying at her house is always fun. especially when her and my uncle gave me $175 to go buy clothes. which i was actually in need of. I love that I'm losing weight. honest, i do. But when all your clothes are getting rather baggy and bum looking. . . well. . . time to go shopping. So we headed out to walmart and i came home with a heaping $125 worth, which is a lot at wally-world. then we went to the mall. and i'll be honest. I went to Hot-Topic. but I only got a few clothing items. I got a Nightmare Before Christmas tee (purple with sally on it), and a Tripp tutu skirt (red and black). I also got a Nightmare hat, two cozy blankets (one had the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland on it, the other was a Nightmare one), some sheer black lip gloss, some nightmare hairties, and something else i can't seem to remember. lol. And in honor of Yule tomorrow I paid a small visit to Blue Moon, the local pagan store. I had to get some Yule incense, since I ran out of time to make my own, and I also pick up a jar of Angelica, which I've been meaning to get since before Samhain. I also got my 2010 calender, a purple and black celtic pentacle tote bag, a large black book of shadows with a gold pentacle on the front, and some really cute matches. one box has pics of stonehenge, the other has pics of vampires. And i had to put back the tarot bag i wanted, and also the book I need to get: Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs. but all in all, a wonderful weekend. and as my uncle put it, I made out like a bandit!
