Black Friday

I gleefully reported my completed holiday shopping last week.

Why then, you ask, was I up at before the crack of dawn to join in the black friday festivities?

SALES!

In case you have forgotten I am a sucker for a good deal. But fear not, I am in no danger of becoming a hoarder. I am much to fond of organization and cleanliness for that. But I was in need of a new laptop, for fear that I might shrivel up and die of old age lose my patience before I could get much accomplished with the one that I have been using.

Which is how I ended up with this. Which has already cut IN HALF the amount of time it takes me to do things like check my email and write posts. And I managed to shop and be home by 7 am. More impressively, I didn't pour myself a drink to recover from the crowd shock when I got home.

And I have to say, a laptop for almost 50% off? TOTALLY worth the 20 minutes I spent standing in line!

Hope that you're all enjoying your post-Thanksgiving Friday!

Vacuums and strollers and bedspreads...oh my!

I have come to realization that I am old and nerdy. Which isn't in fact, a realization, I already knew that. So more or less, I have simply found another way in which I am old and nerdy.

I have been shopping lately...which I love. My current favorite purchase include a new bedspread and skirt, new bathroom stuff, a sit and stand stroller, and a new vacuum.
And the part that makes me really old and nerdy? While I love my new bedroom stuff, and my new bathroom, what I am totally excited about are the stroller and the vacuum. They are totally awesome.

Having a new vacuum has made me obsessed with vacuuming, just to see what it might suck up. Totally gross, but I am loving it. You would not believe how much pet hair this thing can pick up -- I swear I don't know how I didn't choke on it before. But this new vacuum is made especially for people who have pets -- and it works just as promised. If you have pets, I do believe that you should have one. Then you can be totally grossed out and a little in love with your vacuum too.
