Cyber Monday Deals

Yesterday, I didn't think much about surfing to look for Cyber Monday deals, although I had heard a lot about how websites and online stores were gearing up for sales. I'd seen promotions when I opened my browser, and that was all. Apart from picking up a few things like bath oil, a book, a handheld vacuum cleaner, and medicines, I had not got into the habit of habitually buying things on the Internet.

Evening, when my Equal Half returned home, something happened. He was all gushing about Cyber Monday deals, and also about someone who bought a laptop on Black Friday standing in line since 4 in the morning. This guy got a real great deal on a laptop. Never mind if he was one who could easily afford its full price and did not have to do that hard work of queueing up so early. He picked up his booty, went back home with it, and then hit the bed and fell asleep. Someone like me should learn such clever strategies to accumulate more things.

My Equal Half had been talking about deals on computers and plasma television for a few days now, as he scanned the flyers which came with the newspaper. I had been dissuading him from getting one more computer, or one more TV screen. But yesterday, when he wanted to get his favourite sweaters from http://www.nautica.com/, I couldn't say anything.

HE had been searching for his favourite style of sweater in many nautica stores. We had also checked out the outlet stores in Ventura, and many others in town, but there were none to his liking. The only option left was to go to the Internet. And yesterday was an opportunity he did not want to pass by. His sweaters were on sale, and he was elated. The order of a sweater and two full-sleeve shirts were closed after he spent a long time checking the colours and the styles.

I'm glad that he would be soon getting what he always wanted. Now it is upto the mailman to deliver in time, and the undamaged goods to us.
