What I did on Black Friday

I admit it… I did a bit of shopping. Flippy‘s parents gave us a Thanksgiving check to be thankful for, so I did a bit of shopping online at Kohls, Staples, and Office Depot. That pretty much completed my holiday shopping, so I feel relieved. Now I just need to mail it everything I bought! The biggest shopping disappointment of the day was Amazon.com, where they had some “lightning specials” that we stayed up for, but the Amazon backend had problems so the lightning sales were delayed by hours. There are lots of unhappy Amazon customers today, although I just moved my browser and spent my time buying discounted Carters baby clothes from Kohls. I hope the baby doesn’t read this and spoil her Christmas surprise!

It’s been a long couple of days. I’ll try to get back to posting normally tomorrow.

About Me

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I think a day without Starbucks is a day without sunshine (there are no Tim Hortons here, so I make do with what I've got). I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I'm a veterinary technology student at Penn Foster, and I'm the Director of Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary. I bottle-feed lots of kittens, and try to find homes for society's less fortunate felines. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

My partner is the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm actively seeking work, and specialize in Internet/social media marketing (but I don't blog about it). My background is in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024 in IE, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
