That's really all I wanted to know.

Thanks,

Happy Cyber Monday!

So, you've known for years about Black Friday (especially if you've ever worked retail) and you know the tragedies it brings to the shoppers, the clerks, and all of the people who give up their Thanksgiving weekends to fight crowds, bitchy salespeople, and traffic. Now, we have technology's solution to not only getting some shopping done, but wasting time at work. They say that people flock to these sites on Monday in such droves because they spend their weekends hitting the good bargains in the brick and mortars... I have to call Bullshit! Monday gets hit so hard because people who do not have computers at home wait until Monday to go online and do their shopping... those folks along with the others who come back to work after a holiday weekend with little on their desks to do because no one worked for four days make it the second busiest shopping day in America. I personally fall in the the first category... and yes, I will do some shopping before the day is over.

I'm just glad to see that technology is finally being recognized for what it was intended for (remember Pong???)... wasting time.

Just another tick in clock,
Ames

She was a Ski Tripper!

It's official kids! I get to make the trek to Gatlinburg 2 years in a row. It was up in the air as I was not sure if I would be employed during that time, but I've settled some things for now and the Ski Trip is on for ol' Ames. So, damnit, where is the Ski Trip News??? Where is the teaser? Where are my peeps? I'm so exited I could pee a little.

This year, I'm going to try to make it the full weekend and not have to leave at the butt-crack of dawn on Monday. I'm so freakin' excited. So I guess the only question remaining is... Who else is coming???

Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo!

Amy's New Addiction

So, I was perusing likeatwister and I happened to catch a glimpse of Amber's links and saw how beautifully my link was advertised... then I stopped and thought about it... then I started laughing my big ol' ass off. That pretty much sums up my life. One addiction to the next. I'm still tearing up I'm laughing so hard.

Thank you Amber for so very poignantly putting into very simple terms a brief summary of my life. I'm going to start collectively calling my life an addiction... it is a much more suitable term than "life." What the hell is life anyway except a series of activities. Some you spend more time on than others, but passionately done, those are the ones that become addictions.

So I guess on some level, I'll take it as a compliment. But as a general rule on my day to day level of existence, I'll just take it for what it is... the truth.

Addictively yours,
Harris

How the hell did it get to be November???

I'm not sure when it happened... It was warm and sunny, hangin' out in the pool or picking tomatoes out of the garden. Then, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was freakin' November! Do you realize that there are only 8 more Saturdays before Christmas??? 2 Months... 2 lousy months that are jam-packed with Galas, Thanksgiving, and the dreaded SHOPPING. Of course, I love the internet for just that very reason. As most of you may or may not know, I'm not one of those people who "shops." I know what I want, I find it, I buy it, and I give it... So, in all reality, the internet is the only way to go for someone "like" me. I get to figure out what I want and then I get to peruse (from the comfort of my office chair) different web sites looking for the best price... And I'm not one of those who's afraid of a "shady" website... I dive in with both feet and double-dog dare them to try and steal my identity (Let's be realistic Ms. Harris, you can't get something for nothing). In fact, internet shopping is the one place where I don't worry about a single thing. Let's just say it is my stress-free zone where, when I've had a bad day, I can go and just let it all melt away.

I'm not sure how it came to the topic of internet shopping, but hey, I feel better already. Who's up for a customized T that says, "The dinosaurs became extinct because you play with yourself"? I know someone who will love it!

squint your eyes and look closer,
Ha'as
