Well, I am back, and Top Ten Tuesday’s will be kicked back into gear with one of my favorite holiday past times, Cyber Mondays! Thanks to the Idiot, he was the inspiration of this post. My experience was a polar opposite of his. There were no error messages or having to toss the computer around. However, there was a ton of chain-smoking and caffeine involved!
Need I Say More?
Black Friday- Really People Enjoy This?Need I Say More?
VS.
Nothing but a Zen Moment!
10. No one has to get up after eating turkey the day prior at some ungodly hour (2 am) and have to load up on a huge amount to of caffeine to try to counter act the tryptophan effect!
9. You are not having to stand obscenely close to strangers that smell funny. Trust me, what Thanksgiving meals do to some people should never be relived, especially in a “boob to back line”!
8. You get to stay home in the comfort of your jammies and look stupid doing it, but no one cares. Seriously people! If you have time to put make up on, you have time to put some friggin’ normal clothes on! Jammies only look cute on 2 year olds, not middle-aged women.
7. The only risk of injury is carpel tunnel, not being trampled to death by an obsessive mob wanting the one of three dancing Mickey Mouse dolls, that will only drive you crazy after the first hour of the box being opened.
6. Coffee always tastes better at home.
5. I can be at my favorite ten stores at the same time!
4. I can yell at my kids with “Leave Mommy alone, go play!” and, ” Don’t bother me, Mommy is shopping right now!” without anyone giving me the evil eye of my bad parenting moment.
3. I don’t have to worry about the risk of my kiddos finding out what “Santa” gets them. It comes to my door in a box and goes straight to the attic until Christmas Eve wrap-a-thone!
2. I am guaranteed not having to schlep all the gifts for out-of-town friends and family to the post office, stand in line for most of the holiday season and pay an enormous shipping fee. With one click of the mouse that whole experience fades away and it is always free shipping!
1. The only holiday season a–holes I have to deal with are the over exhausted, but very attractive UPS/FED EX drivers, which a plate of cookies and bottled water remedies any ill feeling towards my address.
Happy holidays to all your fantastic blog buddies!
A Piece of the Pie Hole 
Great list and so great to have you back Piehole!! Just how many trips is the UPS guy gonna be making to your door? Sounds like you were VERY busy! 🙂
Thanks Idiot! I think I have about a case of water and 4 plates of cookies to burn through this holiday season! 🙂
Oh how I love the description of the boob-to-back line.
Seriously, that many mashed potatoes and over-indulgence really doesn’t do wonders to the aura wafting off crowds.
Yuck.
It’s like sitting in an airplane next to someone who evidently decided bathing in garlic was a good idea.
I’m with you, sitting in front of the computer, drinking my own coffee, shopping at several stores, I’m all about it.
Wandering! Oh, how I hear you on the airplane issue… Now that is Yuck!
Next year its Cyber Monday for me. We all know how my Black Friday went –
Thy Polar Life! The whole time I was reading about your Black Friday, I was thinking, she needs adopt a new tradition… Cyber Mondays in her PJ’s! 🙂
LOL. Next year I’m shopping in my PJ’s for sure!
ROTFLMAO!!!
What a great list! I’ve not done a lot of shopping on line, but it’s something I’d like to try out.
Hm….I have some time off this week. Perhaps it will be a good time to shop while the boys are at school!
Sparrow! Pour yourself a cup of joe, get comfy and get out the trust CC and shop to your little heart’s delight! 🙂
You feed your UPS/FedEx guys? No wonder they’re always giving me the stink eye….
Yup! I find that cookies heal a multitude of bad moods! 🙂
HOLY CRAP.
I feel as though that is a little bit ridiculous… and I am not even sure if we have black friday here… if so then I am just totally out of the loop, but if this shit actually happens, then ignorance is bliss I suppose.
Love the list! And I’m with ya on this one … much rather stay at home and just click, click, click away instead of fighting crowds of madly insane people!
I actually had to come back here and look at these pictures again. I just cannot imagine this. I would be that one person who trips and gets trampled by the crowd.
Aw, damn. Now that you have pointed it out, I can’t go out in my pjs anymore. It really does save time. You know, digging through clean laundry, ironing, and so on.
I love your list. It is great!
I did my cyber shopping on Sunday in the comfort of my jim jams ( and still in bed… it was cold! ). Shortly followed by His Nibs bringing me breakfast in bed 🙂
