"HOLY CRAP!"

Unlike most Americans today, I was not standing in line for copious amounts crap this morning at 4, 5, or 6am. Instead I went off to the thrift store and dumped a car load of joy for other hoarders to acquire and bask in the greatness of the magical fairy crap.

I did thereafter, go to Starbucks with a quick stop at Best Buy to see if they had electronic keyboard covers, which they did not. Everyone and their dead granny was at Best Buy today! I drove and looked and said..."HOLY CRAP!" I am not one for crowds, I would rather chew off my own leg then end up in a crowd. Sometimes I must be crowd involved and those times take a lot of mind numbing tolerance to successfully navigate in without biting anyone. In fact large groups of people wig me out! But I wanted to see if Best Buy had electronic keyboard covers. I had priced them online and since our new keyboard is attracting every piece of dust, lint, and cat hair it can I am kinda of wanting to get it covered quick!

Before I wandered hither and yon in the great realm of Best Buy and started biting people, I had the brilliance to ask those people who stand at the front and pretend to greet you when their full function is to tackle you if you try to make off with a laptop, Michael Jackson CD, or a rare collection of Stooges DVDs, if they had electronic keyboard covers. They did not, so instead of diving head first into the Best Buy ant hill...which is what it looked like, I turned tail and ran through the doors back out into the sea of cars and lot. More cars then lot.

My Christmas shopping has been done since Sept. I do pick up a few minor things just before Christmas but the root of is well done before anyone has thought about Christmas. I have discovered that I generally can find as good of deals or better online (with reviews!), with the addition of free shipping, and sometimes a nifty discount coupon code then I can find in the store. Sure there are some amazing mind numbing Black Friday deals, but these are generally low in quantity and frequently quality. Who wants to freeze their butt in line in the wee hours of Friday morning when one can be curled in their bed snuggled up to their husband, various cats, and a baby sleeping the early hours away before work descends on their unconscious world? I know I do!
