I am proud to say that yesterday I bought nothing.

Ah, except for a couple of 20 oz Mountain Dews. Does that count?

Anyway, this sorta highlights and underscores the reasons I object to holiday shopping -- you may have already heard about the woman who was trampled in Wal-Mart in the rush to a stack of sale-price DVD players. (Thanks [livejournal.com profile] swisscelt for the link.)

In other news, last night rocked.

I didn't buy anything yesterday either, and that story about the Wal Mart just boggles the mind. The really sad part of that story is the fact that if you did a survey, most of those tramplers would probably insist that they're "good Christian people" and see nothing wrong with the way they behaved. And yet I'm the infidel here.
Horrifying.

Heh heh. Last night rocked huh? And that's all you're saying about it? ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (Yes,I am evil to laugh at this!)

Yesterday evening I went to the local grocery store to buy a few needed food items for the house. That's it! I have long avoided shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, too much of a zoo!

this happened not too far from here...

From the article:

"We are very disappointed this happened," (Wal-Mart) Burk said. "We want her to come back as a shopper."

Hmph. I bet they do.
