you see on the homepage that the current deal is a reciprocating saw, and for an instant you ponder how your (very, very, VERY unhandy, can barely change a lightbulb) DH might be able to make use of it, since it's such a great deal.

LOL, I guess I need to start looking for a Christmas present for my UPS man. :)

I bought one for my mail lady... she does so much work for me, espcially during the christmas season. UPS and FedEx may be receiving See's candy! Maybe they will bring my packages undamaged if I show them some love.

Hmmm- think we should send a big "Thank You" card to Target for their coupon catalog (and clearance section) this year and maybe Amazon (if their prices get better).

Seriously! I feel like our poor UPS guy deserves a spa day or something.

The only thing holding me back is the fact that my friend's husband is my UPS guy!! I don't want him running home and telling her how crazy I am. Although, I tell her myself about my deals...but still!

Oh yah, I've gotten nothing done today! I just keep watching those dang timers!
Upside, I've gotten most of my christmas shopping done and don't need to brave the crowds on Friday :)

Ugh, I haven't gotten any of the lightning deals, but the other stuff is killing me. I am expecting 3 boxes at my work today, another 3 at DH's work and I've ordered 5 more items today, probably arriving on Friday.

Oy. Amazon Prime is going to be the death of me this year...I don't have to wait to find $25 worth to get free shipping!

I missed the Transformers helmet! It sold out in less than a minute. No joke. One second only 60% claimed and the next it was gone. I am like #64 on the wait list. I was logged on by 12:01! Thats just nuts.

Did you wait list? I've been offered everything I wait listed and only took one thing so far so don't give up.
