Inconvenience in Uptown...

Hey all, Today is a good day. I've just been sitting here, watching TV, watching it snow and putting up my Christmas tree. I love winter in MN, I just don't have a car to get around. Usually this isn't a problem as I can take the bus or walk anywhere I need to go. Today I don't want to be out of my apt very long, but I want to do some shopping. I need to get some tinsel for my tree and I want to get some yarn to try crocheting something (no idea what yet, just want something to keep my hands busy) (keep your mind outta the gutter there). Anywho, I've been thinking of places to go to get these things and realized there isn't a store anywhere close to me I can go to. No yarn stores in Uptown and Target/K-Mart don't sell yarn either. I started looking up stores on the internet and figuring how to get to them by bus. The closest one I could find would take over an hour to get to by bus. I could walk there in that time, but it's too freakin cold out. I can't even bike there today.
I can get the tinsel tomorrow when I'm out'n'about, but today I'm just kinda stuck wishing I had a car for an afternoon. Ah well such is life.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my tree. I have a fake tree I've had for several years and it's lookin kinda sad. I put lights on it and stuck my "Tigger" Christmas hat I got at Disney World a couple years ago on top, so it's kinda looking OK, but it's pretty bare at the moment. I think I'll go hang some lights in my bedroom now. Gotta liven up the place a bit for the holidays. I'll try and post some pics when I get everything in order. =c)
