Kel and I went out Friday night without the kids. What does two wild and crazy kids do after 11 years of marriage on their own? Go Christmas shopping of course.

Actually, it was really nice. A slow walk down the aisles without the feeling of being rushed is a sad, but now enjoyable task.

We went into Toys-R-Us more as a why not then a actual dedicated store to hit. I am glad we did. Not only did we learn of the new Nintendo DS Lites, but we found a coveted movie, Lucario and the mystery of Mew.

Why is this blasted thing so hard to find? It was released September 19th. Being a Pokemon new dvd movie, I was expecting it to be everywhere. Or is my kids the only ones still hooked on these things like crack?

Last Thursday, I hit Blockbuster and picked up the new Barbie movie, but no Pokemon. The two girls (they are pretty much all girls anymore), had no clue what I was talking about, upon my inquiry. Walmart didn't have them. I went to my last resource in this area. I called up Best Buy. They normally have the et-all of animation. Nada. Not only did they not find it, but stated it was on backorder. They suggested I go online. Wow. So, we planned to buy it online.

This was one of those rare times my apathy paid off. I didn't buy it online immediately. When we were walking causaually walking through Toys-R-Us, I found the blasted movie.

This was found Friday night. I made the kids wait for me to watch it together last night. Yeah, I'm hooked on them too.
