swingchickie | *whew* all done...

with the holiday shopping, that is. i went early this monring (9am) so i could beat the "last friday evening before xmas" rush. got some nice gifts for the folks who were hard to shop for... the wealthy couple who i was stressing over ended up being the "funnest" (most fun?). i got them a book called "all about us", it's a journal that you go through together and write down your memories of dating one another, likes and dislikes, etc. my b.f. and i have one, and we have yet to do it, but it was a hoot to read the questions. :) i also got them a really nice photo album with black pages, that you put those little photo corners on for your pictures. it's really elegant, and it'll be nice for them since they have some gorgeous pictures of their kids.

i also had bubble tea for the first time today. i've been wanting to try it for a while now to see what all the fuss is about... and i just don't think i'll ever get into it. i got black tea with milk and almond flavoring... which tastes good... but then every once in a while one of those black tapioca balls will pop into my mouth, and it just creeps me out. there's something about having chewy stuff in your drink that just seems inherently WRONG. and the balls don't even LOOK good in the clear cup... they look liike fish eyes. these black fish eyes in my bubble tea, staring out of the cup, mocking me. the huge fat pink straw is fun, but the rest just ain't my bag. oh my god -- a fad i can't get interested in!!! am i finally getting old???
