So.<\/p>\n
I was very good and did not spend ANY money on Black Friday (it helps that I was working from 9-5, so I didn’t even think of trying midnight shopping again).<\/p>\n
(Not that I would have, actually, as Gene made it clear that he did midnight shopping once and would never do it again).<\/p>\n
Black Saturday, however…<\/p>\n
As a side bar, here are some things to note:<\/p>\n
1) I am out of perfume.<\/p>\n
2) Because I have so many rules about perfume, I have decided to stick to J’Adore Dior (the spray bottle of the eau de parfum costs about $80).<\/p>\n
3) Which is awfully expensive, even as a gift<\/p>\n
4) The Almighty D gave me an eBay gift card for my birthday, which has burned a hole in my purse now for 8 months<\/p>\n
So, back to the stupidest story you’ll hear today. I got the idea to try eBay for my perfume. D has purchased different fragrances online and she’s always had good luck. I found a decent seller with good feedback, etc, and eventually won an auction for around $30. Used D’s gift card for this, only out $10 or so from my Paypal account. Feelin’ good.<\/p>\n
But then, this evening, apparently I took leave of every good bit of sense I’ve developed in 32<\/span> 29 years of living and for some reason, I went back to eBay and searched for zhu zhu pets. (Apparently Zhu Zhu pets are this year’s hot Xmas item. They are stuffed hamsters. That is all I know). I’m a girl who lives dangerously, so I bid on one of the hamsters in an auction that only had a few seconds to go. Bid too slowly and the auction ended. Tried again. Bid too slowly again. Looked for a nearly finished auction with 30 seconds or so to go. Tried again. Bid perfectly.<\/p>\n Crap.<\/p>\n OMFG, I bought a Zhu Zhu pet. Sometime this week, a white stuffed hamster is going to be delivered to my house. And yes, I am going to resell it. Not because I’m an asshole (well, not entirely), but because I do not want a white stuffed hamster.<\/p>\n (Seriously. If any of you would like a white Zhu Zhu pet hamster, let me know. I’m not going to give it away but I want it out of my house ASAP and I would like to not lose my ::cough:: investment).<\/p>\n Someone needs to take away my internet connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So.
