Black Friday: Holiday Shopping Begins

Thanksgiving is over
it's time to do some Christmas shopping
this year I send holiday cards.

Today the malls will be packed with people doing holiday shopping. Normally I don't do holiday shopping, but this year I have one gift to purchase. I think I'll purchase a box of chocolates because chocolate is always an appropriate gift. Chocolate is something that is seldom regifted and it's a gift that doesn't take up space all year long or have to be dusted.

Thanksgiving is over
Black Friday is here
with all the malls packed
to overflowing.

 

Black Friday Writing

It's about 6:08 AM PST here in Las Vegas. I woke up about 4:00 AM took my morning medication, made coffee, and did some work in the kitchen. I'm now ready to write and go shopping (in that order). Because it's Black Friday, I'm not looking forward to going into a store; however, I have no choice there are a couple necessities I need to purchase. I suppose I could wait until Saturday, when purchasing the items will be an emergency, but I don't like to wait until I'm out of something before going to the store.

I have a poem to finish today and respond to a couple of blog prompts. I glanced at one of the prompts last night before I went to bed and decided to sleep on it. This morning the first thing I wrote was an entry to this blog. Since I don't intend to go to the store until after 8:00 AM I can do a bit of writing on the blog prompt responses or work on the poem.

Black Friday shopping
is not for the faint of heart
writing is better.

Success Saturday: At the end of an interesting week.

It is the end of an interesting and successful week. On Wednesday, I went grocery shopping. I managed to get two blog entries out of that excursion. One was a normal blog entry about what happened, but the second was a flash fiction entry using the excursion as a basis for the response to a prompt. On Friday, I successfully did two months worth of laundry. I did not do laundry in January because I had to get the tag for my car.

The laundromat I went to is new. The washers and dryers are new. They do not use quarters, but instead you put bills or a credit card in a machine which gives you a debit cart to operate the washer and the dryers. I will go back to this laundromat again because I do not have to lug rolls of quarters in my purse. It is difficult enough for me to do laundry without having to lug two or three rolls of quarters around. I have not used my experience at the new laundromat in a story or poem. I will in the near future.

I love comparison-shopping

Comparison shopping is like looking for treasure. I love to comparison shop. I learned to comparison shop from my grandmother, but she did it the old fashion way. Grandma would look at the store ads in the newspaper and then Grandpa would take her to the stores. I prefer to do my comparison-shopping on line.

I went shopping today

Jamál (Beauty), 1 ‘Azamat (Grandeur), 166 BE – Sunday, May 17, 2009 about 4:35 PM Pacific Time

I went shopping today. This morning about 9:00 AM, my mother and I went to The Home Depot and then to Food 4 Less. At The Home Depot we bought a heavy duty mop with a spaghetti mop head. The mop head was made of cotton, which means it will be easy to clean when it needs cleaning. I also bought two extra mop heads because I when I clean the mop head, it takes it a while to dry. I bought a new mop bucket a few days ago and decided I need a new mop to go with the bucket.

While I was at The Home Depot, I looked at the refractors. I found one that I liked and it didn't have an ice maker. I don't care for refractors with ice makers. I prefer to make my ice the old fashion way. After The Home Depot we went to Food 4 Less to get some bleach and other miscellaneous items. I can't mop a floor without bleach, my grandmother always used bleach when she mopped her kitchen and bathroom floors.

Thinking about this whole shopping experience with the new mop and mop bucket, I realized that I enjoy shopping. I also think that mopping the floor would make a good theme for a poem, especially using my new mop the first time. I am actually looking forward to mopping the floor with my new mop.

I wonder how a mop feels the first time someone uses it on a floor. That would make a good writing theme of some type. I am not sure how I am going to use it right now, but I will come up with something.
