Boxing Day

Went shopping today with the bro, as is the boxing day tradition. Not even blizzard like conditions can stop those determined to part with hard earned cash. At the end of the day, you end up buying stuff you might not care to really own, just to take part in the impulse buying of "door crasher specials" and "Boxing Day only" sales.

I have to say that since I inherited the "do i really need this?" voice at the back of my head, it's been harder to do much of anything on impulse.

Years back I would have spent first and asked questions later. Now, I'm asking questions first and not spending money later. Sometimes, however, it's nice to have a sanity holiday and I think a couple of my Boxing Day purchases will bear that out.

On a lighter note, it's bloody cold here in central Canada. I'm sitting in the basement on my parents' PC and I can barely type for "chattery" hands. You'd think we could get some heating in here.
