I love a good sale and right now there seem to be a few going on as companies are trying hard to get you to buy their products. Some are doing a good job while others are just not cutting it. I’m still not happy with a certain clothing store, even though I have found items I would like to buy, but will be putting it off until after I’m sure I have enough gas to get to school for the next 2 weeks. It seems with the economy being the way it is, people are looking for a good deal on everything from gas to food to clothing. Of course business are also hurting because they can’t sell these items at prices they would give them huge profits because no one will buy them.

With the economy being so bad I have once again been looking at Buy.com for Christmas gifts and things for myself. I found a few things that I could get people for Christmas and I have found some really great wireless phones that I will need when I move. They are only $29 and would work great for me in a new home. I have a phone, but it’s not the worlds best and it seems to want to cut out a lot. I also have one with an answering machine, but I haven’t used it in over 2 years and am not sure if it even works anymore. I know eventually I will have to get new phones and at this price I’m thinking eventually may be sooner then I thought.

Once again we went Christmas shopping, this time the day went much better and we got alot more done. It was also was not as busy as yesterday and people were alot nicer, my faith in humanity has been restored!

There were a few interesting points to our day. Mostly people playing with my nephew because he’s so cute, but there was a man who thought my nephew was my baby and he kept telling me I needed to plan for the future. He handed me a thing about getting life insurance quotes and kept going on about planing for college and all that. Once he took a breath I was able to tell him the baby was not mine, but I would give my sister the information.

Anyway we were able to get some great Christmas gifts and came up with a few more that we can get later. Hopefully we can do that soon so were not out Christmas eve trying to get things done. We will have to wait and see!

This is the time of year that I hate Christmas shopping, my sister and I went out today to find just a few things. She hasn’t done any shopping yet, but she wasn’t looking for something in particular. We found a few things and she got a really good deal on an artificial tree. So they day did get some things accomplished.

Why do I hate Christmas shopping right now? Well it’s because people are very rude. My sister just had a baby and she has a one year old and a 7 year old. The 7 year old was in school so we just had the two little ones. At this particular store I had the baby, she had the one year old. I got cut off constantly. I had 3 women run into the cart because they were idiots and not watching what they were doing. One was too busy looking at raymond weil watches to even notice where she was going. The baby was in plan site and you could tell it was a newborn. Why are people so stupid?

Thats not the worst part, my sister was told by store associate that if she didn’t get her baby to shut up, she would have to leave the store. I worked in retail and I told off the associate and spoke with the manager. I have a feeling the girl was fired. That might have to do with the fact that I said I use to mystery shop and knew who to call if something was not done about the workers attitude.

Has anyone else run into cranky people? I hate to say it, but around here, it’s the people who have money that are the worst, they seem to think they can walk all over everyone. Of course there are a few exceptions both ways, but what happened to common courtesy?

Yes you heard me right overstock.com is giving away some great stuff for Christmas in their All I want for Christmas Giveaway. More free stuff is always a good thing! When you enter the contest you get a chance to win a gift for you and 5 friends. I love giving things away and this would be a great way to do it.

So what do I want for Christmas this year, well a laptop would be nice or even a new digital camera. I would also love to get a new microwave for my mom and something for my new niece. Maybe a nice new crib or a big stuffed bear or something. I would also get my little brother something that he actually wants, he really wants the Wii, but I don’t think even overstock can help with that. I also wouldn’t mind getting something for the two mods on my forum, mummifiedx5 and breezie their very helpful and work hard to keep the forum going.

The best thing about this contest is that it’s easy to sign up and you can choose a different gift everyday. So if you change your mind or someone gets you what you picked out you can change it the next day. I’ve added this contest to my favorites so I don’t forget. Today I picked out a nice digital camera, that comes with everything you would ever need. I have been wanting one for a while, but since there so expensive usually around $1000 I haven’t been able to get it.

I may switch it to a laptop tomorrow. I’m not sure yet. Hopefully I win something, it would be nice to win as I don’t win anything. At least not anything good. I won a year supply of denture stuff once, I never entered so I don’t know why, but I’m only 24 and didn’t need it so I sent it back and told them to give it to someone else.

So if you enter this contest, what would you want? What would you get your friends?
