heavenly_pearlHappy Mother's Day to all the mothers reading this! ^_^
However, even though it was Mother's Day, I have to admit I ended up making out like a bandit. *laughs* My parents got their economic stimulus check (or whatever it's called) in last week, so Mom and I went to Best Buy after church to check out their TVs, since Mom's been wanting a new TV so she wouldn't have to deal with those new converter boxes. According to the guy who was helping us, though, even if we bought a new TV, we would still need to get a converter box. (I'm thinking maybe he just didn't know what he was talking about, because I was under the impression that all new TVs were ready for the switch to digital next year, but, oh, well.) Mom didn't see the point of buying a new TV if she was going to have to get a converter box as well, so we decided to just wait until we got our coupons for the converter boxes (one for my TV, too) and used the money we were going to use to buy the TV to go on a little shopping spree. ^_^
Not only did I get the Peach Girl boxset for our family's made-up holiday of Daughter's Day (technically tomorrow), but she also bought me Tales of Phantasia for my GBA, three really cool shirts from Cato's, and a proper TV stand for the TV in my room. (I have been using an end table for the past couple of years.) Don't worry, though. Mom got more than her fair share, too, including the hydrangea bush I gave her for Mother's Day.
All in all, pretty cool mother/daughter day. ^_^
