Today's been great. Woke up, lounged around, watched "Young Victoria" (really good!) then went on a hunt.
For a toy gun.
Last night mom told me that Luke wants a toy gun, not a nerf gun, just one that makes noises.
I figured it'd be easy so I said I'd go find it.
Went to Toys 'R' Us early afternoon, took like half an hour to find it. After some help, I found the ONE gun they had. And it came with a bonus! a small and large "laser" gun that makes fun noises, really easy for Luke to hold and use.
Then went to TJMaxx&HomeGoods. I was on a search for stuff for family members for my parents to take to China. Good running shoes are ridiculously expensive there and stuff here is a little different. Found two of the four shoes (great price! good quality! I'm jealous they didn't have any in my size...), a teen boy's shirt, and a little girl's fun sundress with belt (adorabbllleee). I'm still on a search for another boy's shirt, and two more pairs of shoes..and I don't remember.
I'm going to be missing out on a lot. I have not been back since I was 12. I have changed a lot since then.
Couldn't think of anything to get my grandma that she'd want, partly because I don't really know her...then I realized, she doesn't really know me either apart from what my mother tells her over the phone on rare occassion. I believe my grandma still lives remote-ish.
Anyway, when I got home I proceeded to start my laundry, and search through my files of photos and compiled photos! The little photo album starts out with my brother before he could walk, then walking, then now. There are family photos, landscape photos, photos of both my graduation, friends, randomness, etc. The pictures can say the things I can never say. That and she speaks only the regional dialect so I'd be able to understand her but she wouldn't know what I was talking about possibly (and the fact my chinese is awful).
I plan on going to China next summer though. We'll see how this summer goes for my parents and Luke.
But, I had a lot of fun looking for stuff! having an adventure...
Tomorrow I have an "interview" with a lady at Columbus Public Health. It's unpaid. I need to also find something paid. We'll see how that goes too.
I'm looking forward to home.
