Getting Ready For Black Monday! (OnlineVersion of Black Friday!)
It's coming and it's coming soon. Just two days away(PST), Black Monday!
Normally, my whole family would be out and about, finding the great deals and stocking up on goodies. However, this year, there are two major factors that have us behaving a bit like shutins:
- We're sick. Got the cold. Complete lack of energy.
- Bad economy. Let's face it, it's kinda hard to justify spending money, cash or credit, when you are wondering whether the next few months will be greeted with some bad news.
- (Yes, I said three) The crowds!
This year, my family is deciding to just take it easy, chill, and save our energy on recovering from the cold. Given that we aren't going anywhere, the new fun thing to do is leverage our Tivo and catch up on some episodes of Psych.
The holidays are coming hard and fast. We're pretty winded and tired.
What's coming up?
Let's see....
- Fruitcake! Going to make some yule tide cheer... in the form of tasty and fragrant fruit cake. People who give me the raised eyebrow have obviously never had good home made fruit cake.
- Photography! Yes, with the rainy and cloudy season having rolled into California... now's the time to take photographs of all those vibrant colors! Get your cameras and polarizers out!
Oh, and come Monday.. even those of us who are sick and bedridden can reach over to our keyboards and search for sales and deals. :) Too sick and tired for Black Friday, but perhaps not so for Black Monday.
