  • Cyber Monday, A Blogger’s Parody

    Dedicated to everyone and anyone who found their email/inbox bombed by newsletters that you don't remember ever having subscribed to in the first place:

    Cyber Monday, so disappointing to me,
    Cyber Monday, it was worse than I thought Black Friday to be.
    By Monday morning, Monday morning would pretty much guarantee,
    That Monday evening I would have 3,982 emails waiting for me.

    Cyber Monday, I get it, sometimes it just works out that way,
    Cyber Monday, Black Friday starting on Thursday was bad enough you see.
    Monday morning, I had little to no warning of what was to be,
    Oh Cyber Monday, 3,982 emails, REALLY?!?

    Every other day, every other day,
    Being spammed every other holiday is bad enough, yeah.
    But whenever Cyber Monday comes, but whenever Cyber Monday comes,
    I'll be ready for you, the very next time.

    Cyber Monday, you won't be disappointing me,
    Cyber Monday, send me an unsolicited email and unsubscribed you shall  be.
    Oh Monday morning, take this as a warning of what is to be,
    On Cyber Monday, next year I'll be sending an auto-response, p.s. BITE ME!

    With my sincerest apologies to the Mamas and the Papas.

    Yours truly,

    I.M. Tired N. Cranky

  • Yes, But In OUR House
    We Just Celebrate “Blech Friday!”

    Taken for middle girl's journalism assignment at Michaels on Black Friday!

    Door busters, early bird specials, late night bonus savings, midnight madness, please take a number, stand in this line, DON'T MOVE, because, we may or may not call you within the next six hours (or, twenty) HOLY HANNAH MONTANA, is it me, or did shopping just get REAL HARD, or something?!?

    I know.  The thrill of the sale.  Never EVER pay full price, if you don't have to.  I get that.  In fact, some of my best friends plan AND manage to get ALL of their holiday shopping done, every year, in one blessed day, DAMMIT!

    Just, not me.

    Nope, I'm THAT annoying lady, digging in her shoulder bag with one hand, flipping through the sale flier with the other, swearing up and down that she JUST had the stupid CVS coupon in her hand, a minute ago, AND she's standing RIGHT in front of you, too, DAMMIT!

    Yep, I am ALL about making last minute shopping decisions and NOT just because I suffer from FDD (financial deficit disorder) or the lack of poor planning, or less than perfect organizational skills, either.

    Nope, in our house, we just wait for something to blow up THEN we go shopping!

    [sound of running feet]

    "Now, what happened?"

    Except, this passed Friday.

    "OH…MY…GAWD…WHAT…IS…THAT…SMELL!!!"

    The dog blew up.

    "QUICK!  Where did you put all those sale papers?!?"

    Aaaand, Garth (not his real name) went shopping.

    "But, it's 1:00 o'clock in the morn…[GAG!]…they're on the mantel!"

    Then again, we NEEDED to clean the carpet, sooner or later.

    "HOLY HANNAH MONTANA!!!"

    Aaaand, the Doofus-Dawg just saved us 40% on a new rug shampoo machine.

    "Is that his spleen?!?"

    BLECH!  Thanks to our family and friends, who insisted on slipping the dog "just a quick taste" under the table, we just experienced our first "belly buster sale."

    [cue crickets, chirping]

    Can't WAIT to see what I get…next year…stupid Thanksgiving!!!
