:P I am. But I'm only going to Barnes & Noble to get wall calendars half price. Then I'm coming home.

1. Right here. I'm a cheapskate. Plus, I need a new coat.

I never do Black Friday, but I almost never pass up the after-Christmas sales.

2. I hear ya. We did the after-Christmas sales last year for the first time
in several years, and I swore I'd never do it again (except, of course, to get half-price calendars :P).

10. Hi NWC,

Half priced calendars are my goal this morning.

One more cup of coffee, and I'm hitting the highway
to hell- a local mall, then Borders.

Borders opens late for today. :shrug:

:hi:

5. I'm a big enough idiot for just about everything but even I draw the line here.
For the rest of this week I don't want to see one cash register that isn't at the moment ringing up beer.

7. Only if buying next semester's textbooks online counts.
Textbook budget's kinda thin- none of my books qualified for buyback this time. What a scam.

13. Well of course, they need to update the textbook version every year.
Change a word or two here and there. Make sure they have an excuse to sell crap to students for another 30-70 bucks. It doesn't matter, mommy and daddy are paying their way through college, they can afford it. Right?

In case you couldn't tell... :sarcasm:

8. I really need a new home computer, so I'll probably brave the crowds...
Besides, I thrive on chaos. :)

9. Going to Target today after work
It's bad enough that we're getting another 6" of snow by the end of the day, but I'm going to tempt fate and pick up a couple of things at Target. THIS should be fun...

22. Might, this is the time
I usually go out and buy all our Christmas wrap and other little things for next Christmas. I save a ton that way and put them in the back of my closet. Just looking at the Check book balance to see what I have left. Oh hum.

25. Me, I had to exchange a gift for a bigger size
or try to lose more weight.

I got the bigger size.

The mall was not *that* bad.
