Best Tax Day Ever

Thinking: How amazing is it that someone can be selfish and not even know it. (I am not excluding myself from this statement.)

So, it's snowing. AGAIN. Let's just make tax day more stressful by adding really wet snow to drive in, into the mix. Thanks, God.

When The Man came home, he declared in his best I-am-the-patriarch-of-this-family voice and said,

"Since it's snowing, we are going Christmas shopping."

So, today became Christmas in April. We picked 3 things off of our wish lists, cost a non-issue, and we headed to the mall to shop. The Man is easy. He wanted video games. So I only had to go to one store. As for me, apparently I'm harder to shop for. He tried to find me 5 different things, before finally finding the 6th one.
What did we get? The Man got a copy of Crackdown for the 360 (I don't like the violence in the game, but we have no kids, and he's a big boy). I tried to get a Castlevania game for the DS first, but they didn't have the cartridge for the case that they DID have. So he got Crackdown. (And I bought myself Guitar Hero Aerosmith, because it was 10 bucks, and The Little Brother is awesome and gave me Guitar Hero 1, 2, and 3 with 2 guitars for a late Christmas gift when he came to visit a couple of weeks ago.) My gift was Lego Indiana Jones, which I have been pining away for since it came out. I will beat this game, without cheating, just like I will beat Lego Star Wars without cheating (I'm thisclose). That should bring my total of games I've beat without cheating to, oh, about 3 or 4.

And so, a crappy day has turned into a great day, and it's all The Man's fault.

Oh, and I think I'm getting sick again. Poop.
