Last night, rather than the expected and anticipated continued review of the Alias <\/i>S1 DVDs, turned out to be “Margie and Dave Stay Up Really Late Doing Catalog Orders for Christmas” Night.<\/p>\n
But we went from Very Little Selected to Stuff for Everyone, despite the usual glitches (one gift we’d picked for a couple of different people turned out to be out of stock; one order sent off to the wrong place, with a customer service inquiry pending). And we had a 40% off deal at Coldwater Creek, so that made things easier, and did a lot of other shopping at Signals\/Marshall Field, which ties into the Amazon system, so that went more easily, too.<\/p>\n
So that makes things Much Less Tense for the next few days.<\/p>\n
Assuming everything ships on time, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
