Early bird, meet the Nite Owl!
As I live a short distance from an outlet mall, I’m headed there for some of the early bird bargains- I’m staying up late in order to do so. Hey, it’s still on sale if you chugged a pot of coffee in your jammies rather than sleeping, and I’ve got some leftover pie to go with it. Nothing particular to shop FOR, but for once, I’m not working retail at the holidays, I’m going to wallow in it. Fellow bargain darlings, you know where the local sales are, you’ve been stalking them online for weeks now, don’t try playing naive about it. I’ll be the one wandering aimless getting in the way, because that’s just how excited I am to have anything going on in the area late at night that doesn’t involve drunken fools. Sure, there’s a possibility of children, but any parent who drags a tot shopping at four am is someone I want to get a look at. It’s time to get ready, I know the magical hours between drunken bar crowd shoppers and soccer-mom coffee klatch gone wild fieldtrips, I’m not sharing it publicly, so talk up your favorite sales folks and find out for next year- or work through one to learn your local mall.
