Cyber Monday Celebration

I'm on board for any shopping you do while wearing your favorite fuzzy slippers and sitting in a comfy chair. No makeup, hair in a ponytail and  fuzzy slippers on my feet I happily search the internet for the gifts on my list. Grinning from ear to ear knowing I'm not driving the car to the crowded mall on icy roads, or waiting with my blinker on in the parking lot for a parking spot makes me positively giddy. Hey, there's always that one car that sneaks in before I get to it anyway.

I find some amazing deals on the internet. Although my presents are always given with love, the cost is always a consideration and keeping my sanity in check is eased by shopping from the comfort of home.

I know I can't buy everything on the internet. But, lets face it, I rely on the cyber shopper to make a living. So I'm a happy supporter. Think of me on the corner holding one of those huge signs that says shop on the internet , visit Katherine's shops! My online shops Gifts By Katherine, Be Well Gifts,Blue Iris Gifts,shop Polka Dots and my Avon website are my full time job these days. So I say, shop, shop, shop! Find the deals, relax in your favorite chair, and spend your money wisely.

By the way if you shop at my online shops I always provide excellent customer service, and undying gratitude.






P.S.starting next week my blogs will focus on the upcoming holidays, recipes, crafts and more with the holiday theme.

Friday

Black Friday Freeze Out

Ahh Black Friday, just the name send chills down my spine. The image of eager shoppers desperate for a bargain. Their red noses pressed, or frozen to the shop doors at the ungodly hour of 3:00 am! Giggle, I was one of those anxious shoppers many years ago. After a tug of war over a sweater ensued, reminiscent of an old Laverne and Shirley episode I decided you can count me out.
I know the deals are amazing, but all deals are. I stand stead fast that black Friday will remain blacked out on my calendar.

Never again will I withstand the harsh winter wind that freezes even the smallest nose drizzle to your nostril. Never again will I endure the pushing, shoving, and sometimes ridiculous behavior of the half awake holiday bargain shoppers. That's right, I shout loudly, not I my friend!

But, to those of you who dare participate in this ongoing ritual. I send praise for your fortitude, your perseverance, and your savvy shopping skills. I lend you my cozy mittens and pat you on the back with a smile. I wish you well on your journey. God speed and happy shopping. I'll be her drinking tea.





Monday

The Big Five Ohhh


That's right the big five oh (50)! Today is the day. AARP was on the ball and sent me my enrollment paperwork and temporary card on Saturday. Just in time for my birthday today. I read recently that I am in mid-life. Which sounds great to me. Mid does mean middle, which means half way. So, logically that means I can look forward to the big 100 in another fifty years, giggle.
I invite you to join me in my birthday celebration. I am offering a 10% discount on any purchase from any of my online shops all week ( ends Sunday at midnight. Just be sure to write "50" in the comment section at checkout. So come on along, get your holiday shopping started, and enjoy a birthday gift from me to you!
