While on my lunch I walked around with Elizabeth while she put stuff away from a "return" cart and she was telling me about her parents visiting her and now they left. She said she was crying a bunch and her b/f said, "Well, I wasn't going to tell you this but..." and she got all excited and asked what it was. He said he'll let her have a dog. So she's going to get one pretty soon. I guess she likes them a lot.

I saw something that reminded me of our Star Wars Monopoly game at home. I remembered that when Carly heard that we have it, she said, "Aww! I want that! I've been trying to find it." It turns out there were 3 (4 now) Star Wars Monopoly editions. Episode 1, Episode 2, Classic Trilogy, and Classic Trilogy Limited. We have the Classic Trilogy and she wanted the Classic Trilogy Limited, which has different pieces and it's nicer. Well, I went online and finally found it and ordered it for her, hoping she still wants it. I talked to her on AIM this morning and asked about the TV she was going to sell me, and she said she'll sell it, since her brother made her mad and she was only waiting to see if he wanted it first. I told her I got her a Christmas present, and she said I shouldn't, because she doesn't have enough money to get everyone presents and she'll feel bad. Well, it's already coming in the mail, and you can't return it. After debating a little, I said that since it's about the same price as what she was selling me the TV for, we can just trade, and she liked that better.

On break Carly was telling me she already got her ticket for "The Two Towers" which comes out on the 18th. And she said that Nick went to get his and they're sold out, so she guesses she'll be going alone, lol. He wanted her to cash in her ticket and get one for a later showing (there's no way they will miss out on opening day) and she said she works after the first showing, so that's the only one she can see that day. Well, I hope they have fun anyway.

When I was at work and done with carts for the night, Support Manager Jay said to help Carly clean up the toy section. While we were doing that, we went by the Monopoly games (they don't have any versions of the Star Wars ones) and I mentioned how there were so many versions of Monopoly. She said she still hasn't gotten Star Wars Monopoly, but she found it on eBay and is going to buy it this Thursday. Wait a second, this can't happen. How can I prevent her from getting it without telling her what I got her? Hoping to be lucky, I asked her if it was the Episode 1 version *crosses fingers*. She said it wasn't, since she doesn't like that one. Well, I still have a chance. I asked if it was the Limited edition, and she said she hopes it is. *sigh* Thursday comes before Christmas, so if she gets it then my present is worthless. And I don't think I'd be able to convince her not to get it without telling her that I got it already. She really wants it. Well, I didn't tell her then, I wanted to wait.

I got a ride home with her, and I don't remember what we talked about. I think it was games. But when we got to my house, I told her that I don't want her to get the Monopoly game on eBay, because that's what I got her. She was silent for a second and then said, "You did? And I was going to buy it, too." I said I know, and explained quietly how I looked online and why I was telling her about it now. She was silent for a while and I couldn't tell but it almost looked like she was going to cry. Then she looked at me and said that it was really nice of me. I didn't know what to say, so I said, "Ahh, it's nothing." She said, "Yeah right." I said, "Well... you gave me a ride home, and that's nice." She said, "Yeah." And I said that we were even then. She said, "Yeah right," again. Well, now she can spend her Thursday's paycheck on something else, but I had to ruin the surprise for her on Christmas morning. I wish I didn't have to. I just hope she doesn't feel bad for not being able to afford anything for me. She is giving me her TV, and I'm happy just having her as a friend. I know she wants to get me something, and so I'm fine with that, even if she can't. I guess I'm pretty easy to please, lol.
