Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Announcement: Trader Joe's has dark chocolate-covered caramels with sea salt. (They're with all the Christmas-themed sweet goodies.)
Analysis: I think I just had a religious experience.
I have a box of these at home that I am saving, for some odd reason. SO GOOD.
The mall was packed today. Personally I am avoiding all shopping (except for food which I stupidly have to do tomorrow) until at least January.
I'm planning on doing all of my shopping online, and having it delivered to my sister's place (where I'm spending Christmas). I don't much care for shopping, except in bookstores, at the best of times. The period from Thanksgiving through New Years is not the best of times.
I just have to go to Best Buy for a cable, so that shouldn't be too bad. I hope. And it's half-way to what's supposedly the best burger near-by, so then I'll go there. Because I need to stock up on fat before Thanksgiving....
I love to Christmas shop in December. I think it's being deadline-oriented. I can't get into it before Thanksgiving. And the crowds just push me to get in, get what I need, and get out.
No shopping on Black Friday, though,because that's just craziness, right there.
Wow, do I really need to pay $40 to hook my free printer to my computer? That would explain why I haven't done this before.
I have to buy pie. I hope there's pie and the getting of doesn't kill me.
$40 for a USB cable (I'm assuming that's what it must be)? That's criminal.
Can you wait a couple of days?

Further Analysis: I live WAY too far away from a TJ's.

TJs was nutty today. However, I'm glad I went today, because tomorrow is going to be even worse.

All online for me. I've been doing that since before online was widely accepted for commerce (i.e., I bought stuff from catalogs). It makes the Christmas season actually enjoyable.
