More Shopping!
Nov. 28th, 2025 06:07 pmI will not be trying to pick them up until tomorrow, but my phone says that today Amazon and eBay delivered multiple pakidges --- containing two practical purchases that I'm very excited about, but mostly Turtles! I think it's three pakidges, but could be more than that. If it is only three, one of them is likely too big to fit in a locker, which would mean I won't be able to pick it up until Monday.
Speaking of Monday, Walmart says they are going to deliver even more Turtles then! Along with one more of those new bags I love so much. They're still on sale, so I bought a fourth color, dark blue. I would also love to get it in dark green, gray, red, or rose gold --- but alas, all four of those colors are out of stock! At this point, the only in-stock colors that I don't have are light blue, light green, and pink. The pink is rather light, but they don't seem to make a darker pink version. If they did have something in hot pink or fuchsia or magenta I would probably get one of those. I really fucking love these bags.
Speaking of how much I love bags, one practical purchase that's waiting for me to pick it up is a set of large command hooks. I am not one hundred percent certain if they will properly cling to my textured walls. If they don't, I should get a coat rack or something. I really do have a lot of bags. At least eight various bags and backpacks, not counting the new one!
Another practical purchase I should, um, purchase very soon is some sort of welcome mat to collect some of the dirt that I drag in all the time because this is the desert.
I just spent a little less than $80 on a new pair of work shoes and a four-pack of classic TMNT action figures.
They haven't been delivered yet, but one of the only non-TMNT deals that I actually purchased was a set of two very nice new pillows. I am very, very, very excited for them to arrive.
Lately the temps have been dropping low enough that it's actually kind of chilly, and I often need to turn my box fan so that it blows away from me. So I might need to buy another hoodie, more long-sleeved shirts or pajama pants, an ugly sweater or two, and maybe another blanket. I'm not sure.
Another thing estimated to arrive on Monday is a Sanrio advent calendar that I purchased for a grand total of $29.08 . . . which I am quite pleased about, as its current lowest price on Amazon is $67.88!
Oh! I almost forgot, but earlier tonight I ordered Dream Besties Renee, Teresa, AND Ken for a little more than $30 total! Once they arrive, I'll order one each of Brooklyn, Malibu, Daisy, and Zia. Not necessarily in that order.
Earlier today I had a random urge to read some Berenstain Bears, and if I can settle down and choose three or four from childhood, I might go ahead and order them . . .
As I'm typing this, it occurs to me that it would be fun to buy some wrapping paper so I can open presents on Christmas Day.
Honestly, unless it's something practical for my room or wardrobe, I would really prefer to actually spend less and save more for the rest of this year. We'll see how that goes. In addition to TMNT, I'm also open to the possibility of spending money on Sanrio, Barbie, Sailor Moon, X-Men, Power Rangers, etc. There are definitely quite a few non-Turtle action figures from Mutant Mayhem that I want sooner than later.
