I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.
What about you?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.

Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.

Impressive credentials!
We would love to be part of any upcoming book (or promotional project) you have coming out. Part of the reason I joined BOOK PLACE is to contact Five Star authors. My company is fairly new but I have been working with Five Star for 5 years, I am ex-employee of Thorndike Press/Five Star. I was laid off when they closed the production dept. (not Thorndike's choice, this came from the company that owns them).
When I left, I added a graphic design business to my wife's poetry publishing company, Thorndike/Five Star was a huge reason I started the graphic design dept.
I'm just now spreading the word that we are here to help authors and publishers design there covers.
I really want to Thank You for your praise I really appreciate it.
If you want to send me an email my email address is ed.vincent@encirclepub.com.
Look forward to working with you.
