Sneaking up on us already….

Posted by Amelia on Aug 20, 2008 in Financial Woes and Wows, Once a geek-Always a geek, Parenting

126 days.  Really!  There are 126 days until Christmas.  I know for the average person, this is plenty of time.  But for me, the Queen of OCD,  the Princess of Planning, the Empress of….oh to heck with it, let’s just remember that I literally do have OCD and not being absolutely prepared for something really drives me up a wall.  I usually have my shopping list prepared no later than Halloween and unless you’ve been living under a rock you know that the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday. All of the stores go insane with their specials and deals on Black Friday. My family has always wanted to be among the wackos that are standing at the Walmart door at 4am waiting to be crushed in the ensuing riots, but last year I learned my lesson and settled in to my keyboard with a hot cup of coffee. The same deals, if not better, are offered on the store websites and I didn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn!

SO, when I found this website,Black Friday, I was just about thrilled.

It’s not just a typical Black Friday site. Those are all over the place. This one has a bunch of other features that make it just…well…better. They will email you an alert when a new ad is posted. It looks like they will eventually provide some shopping list capabilities. YAY LISTS! I’ve already added it to my bookmark list. I’m pretty thrilled by the selection of stores available. They even have The Microcenter Ad, which the geek in me freaks out about and the Toys R Us deals which the mom in me could cry over!

Yep. The shopping season has never been more exciting for me. Or so organized.

Free Comic Book Day

Posted by Amelia on May 5, 2008 in Once a geek-Always a geek

I am home and settled in, but just not up for writing up my vacation posts and posting the gazillion and fifty two photos of the experience this morning. Maybe tonight. But for now…the best of the Free Comic Book Day spoils…
