<b>Site:</b> I haven’t done anything new with the site. I want to put a new layout up, but don’t have any inspiration. Anyone have any inspiration they want to spare?

<b>Personal:</b> Well, Happy 2005 everyone! I meant to blog New Year’s Eve, but got home really late, and didn’t feel like it. Sorry. <img src=”http://auction4.comton.com/member/roxygurl/smile.gif” alt=”:smile:”>
<br>
So, what did everyone do New Year’s Eve? I went shopping, for one thing. I went to <a href=”http://sears.com” target=”_blank”>Sear’s</a>, and <a href=”http://www.target.com” target=”_blank”>Target</a>. At Sear’s I returned the <u>Shrek 2</u> DVD I got for Christmas and exchanged it for <u>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</u>. Then I looked around for some other stuff, since I had two gift certificates to the mall. I got two pairs of really cute pajama’s. One pair is a hot pink MUDD set with poodles on them. The other is a lighter pink Henley like shirt with Tinker Bell on it, and a pair of purplish pajama pants also with Tinker Bell on them. I also got a pair of off-white courdoroys. Everything was 50% off, and I was suprised that they were, since they were newer things.
<p>
Since Target was open ’til 10 p.m. we went there last. I was trying to decide what I wanted to buy with my money and Target gift card, and I’ve always wanted a Digital Camera, so I bought one! Since my Grandma and Grandpa gave me $100 plus a $20 Target gift card, plus I had other money I got for Christmas I had enough to get one. It’s a HP photosmart 435. It’s got 3.1 MP, and up to 5 x digital zoom. You can see the one I got <a href=”http://www.shopping.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpdirect/shopping/scripts/product_detail/product_detail_view.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0104718246.1104724917@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccddadddhjilljjcfngcfkmdflldfjk.0&landing=null&category=digital_cameras&subcat1=point_shoot&product_code=Q3731A%23ABA&catLevel=3” target=”_blank”>Here</a>. Since the internal memory is only 16 mb, I bought an 128 mb. memory card. Those things are expensive! The memory card I got was originally like $50, but luckily was on sale. It was still $27, though. <img src=”http://auction4.comton.com/member/roxygurl/shock.gif” alt=”:shock:”> I love the camera, though! When I can figure out how to hook the camera up to the computer, I’ll take some pictures! I’ve already taken some pictures with it.
<p>
After shopping we had to get home fast and get everything ready to go to my Grandma and Grandpa’s for New Year’s Eve. It was also my Grandpa’s birthday, so we celebrated that. It was just me, my mom, my step-dad, my Aunt Patty, my Uncle Melroy, and my younger cousin Jamie there. It was fun, though. Since I had just gotten my camera that day, I got it all ready, and took some pictures, which turned out nice when I viewed them. So, that’s what I did on New Year’s Eve.
<p>
On New Year’s Day we hung around the house, then decide to go to some places. We went to <a href=”http://www.ashleyfurniture.com” target=”_blank”>Ashley Furniture</a>, because my mom is looking for a new Dining set, and then went to <a href=”http://www.bn.com” target=”_blank”>Barnes and Noble</a>, then out to eat at <a href=”http://www.smokeybones.com” target=”_blank”>Smokey Bone’s</a>. Barne’s and Noble was open ’til 11 p.m. I have a $50 gift card to there, and was looking for the first season of <b>The O.C.</b> which they were out of. Then I was going to get <b>Napolean Dynamite</b> on DVD, which they had, but all of there newer DVD’s are 29.99.
<br>
When I asked the guy about The O.C., he said I should look for it online, and that it’s $20 <i>less</i> than the stores. I checked, and it is! In the store it’s like $68.98, and online it’s $48.98. Now, I’m just trying to decide whether I’d rather just get the The O.C. DVD’s, or if I’d rather get the Napolean Dynamite DVD, plus two CD’s. I only have enough to get either or. I have a question for you guys. Is The O.C. really that good of a show? I’m just trying to decide which way to go.
<p>
Sunday, we just hung around the house. We were going to go to <a href=”http://www.bestbuy.com” target=”_blank”>Best Buy</a>, and buy some memory for the computer, but I think my step-dad is going to do that on his next day off.
<p>
Well, I guess that’s all for now, so bye!
