I haven't bought a damn thing today (Black Friday)

I'll admit that more than once on the day after Thanksgiving, ginbarn and I get up early and get Christmas shopping done early. Not this time, though. We just stayed in today. I wanted to head down to Camp Casey, but we're just not up to it right now.

1. I think I'll do some online shopping.

The new "Think Geek" catalog came in today. :thumbsup:

2. That sounds like a good idea

I got my brother's Christmas gift via eBay a couple of months ago. He'll be so surprised...

5. I worked Black Friday today, from what I could see

at least at the dept. store I was in, the sales were not worth the lines and the effort! The sales were pretty unspectacular, unless you broke the rules by bringing in a million coupons and demanding separate transactions in order to use them all. Really really not worth the frustration.

7. Well, I cheated just a teensy bit

I made a run for Stilton and crackers and Brie. Now I'm going to snack myself to death!

8. I bought cigarettes and Coca Cola at the corner market.

But I REFUSE to engage in the orgiastic spending that the corporate masters bid us to do.

9. I couldn't resist buying

a container of salt so I don't have to use sea salt in everything. Also 2 Starbucks drinks and an 8-grain roll. Not exactly helping the economy.
