I try to use small businesses around my apartment complex when I can, but for Christmas presents, it just doesn't work. I do almost all of my shopping online for Christmas and smaller online retailers just charge too much for shipping. It would probably increase my spending by %50 or more. Amamzon prime is just too nice to have.

I never go out. I stayed up until midnight for online sales, playing my NCAA dynasty to bide the time. I got a hell of a deal on a golf club, and bought some gifts for others, including a PS3 bundle, wireless router, digital camera.

I wanted to keel the sumbitch that ran into me with his shopping cart last year. If I wasn't in so much agony at the time I would have decked him. Couldn't bring my arm up to make a swing tho.

I'd rather have my eyes gouged with white hot pokers than shop any other day of the year so there's no way in hell I'll ever go out on black Friday. No one needs anything for anyone that bad in my world.

By the way, black Friday is racist.

Who the **** needs a waffle maker anyway? If you're the waffle-making type, you already own one. If not, its unlikely the lack of the waffle maker is what's holding you back.

**** anyone that gives waffle makers as gifts.

I would like a waffle maker though if anyone else is shopping.

BUT IT'S A GOOD DEAL!

I got one for Christmas last year but haven't had any waffles yet. I tried using pancake batter in there and soon found that it doesn't work that way. This year I'm going to ask for waffle batter.

I had planned on doing some early morning Black Friday shopping for the first time. But when my alarm went off at 3 am, I said "fuck it" and went back to bed. I'll just check out some online deals instead.

Ingredients

2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth.

Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Serve hot.

I must admit I didn't realize there was really a difference. That's good to know for when I get one.

Did the midnight thing last night.

Yeah.

Never. Ever. Doing that again.

Only online. Might have paid 10% more but had no lines, no trampling, no hassles, no idiot morons, or no lost sleep to deal with. Bought everything I've wanted at the stores online.

My yoga studio had a deal for 50% off a 1-year unlimited membership so I bought that online. Works out to $22.50/mo for unlimited attendance. Crazy cheap. Awesome.

That dude was groping her. Nasty.
