Recent studies have shown that attractive people get less of a hassle on this, the most horrible shopping weekend until the end of December. On average, anyway. Expectant mothers, parents with toddlers, and children from the ages of 3 to 14 still haven't figured out they aren't special yet.

That being said, I was disappointed with the selection. So now I'm watching one of those Home Shopping networks, but I think that's even worse. They're just so...perky and enthusiastic about every damn thing they're trying to sell. Even the people who are just along for the ride with their product. It makes it all seem very contrived; I'd be more inclined to buy things if you didn't smile so much. If every item wasn't that one thing that I can't live without!

It's creepy.

And listening them talk about electronics? Painful.

I keep getting emails about 'Cyber Monday'. I can't help but feel as though this shopping holiday was just added this year in an attempt to get people to spend more money that they don't have at the moment. Stores are relentless.

Could it be time for another beer? I think it is.

Alright, so I'm going to be around for Thanksgiving so I can be on call if all chaos breaks loose at the hotel. Boss man will get the honor for Christmas when I take off for home. And sometime in January... Travel cross the waters with a rich friend? Yeah, I know, should check with said rich friend first on that one. At least I don't have to worry about plane tickets.

Pirate seems to have decided that the backyard is his own domain. This would be fine if it didn't mean barking to try to chase squirrels out of it from inside the house. I'll let you know if I still have a dog in a week.
