Need vs. Want .......

or I really, really, really, really don't need any more 'stuff'. And should stay home and NOT go shopping tomorrow.

I certainly don't need any more towels. *sigh*

Linen's & Things has been having a 'going out of business' sale for the last several weeks, and I was drawn into the store like a moth to a flame every week - checking to see what was on how much of a sale... and I kept BUYING THINGS! ARGH! I'm bad. :( I need to be stopped. I didn't need more towels - even if they are soft, fluffy and pretty *sigh* I now have a boat load of more towels. big, pretty, fluffy, green towels.

The problem with all the ads for tomorrow 'black friday', is I see things I want (but not need) but I'm not finding what I'm supposto find - presents for family/friends. I have NO idea what anyone wants, which makes shopping at this early a time difficult. I'm one of those people who goes to the mall a lot all month, wanders around aimlessly, and then frantically buys stuff on the 24th when I have a clue or just desperate.

Back to looking at ads I guess......

bleah! that sucks!!! I've had the 'sit on an airplane' troubles too - about 10 years ago, sat on a flight leaving Rochester NY for Five hours while they changed the fuel pump. It was in the morning, so after sitting around for 5 hours, we DID get to leave, but missed the connecting flight to SD in Chicago. Luckily, SD is a bigger city, so we found one to catch. double bleah about so late, no food :( :(

Roanoke is a tiny little airport that rolls up its carpets at about 11 pm. If the airlines hadn['t dinked around so long trying to fix the plane, I could have (possibly) caught an earlier flight. It wasn't a huge deal for me, but one man was boiling over because he had to give a presentation in Roanoke at 9 am and the earliest plane left Charlotte at 9:24.

I just had to re-arrange my ride home, reschedule morning appointments, leave my dog at the kennel an extra day, that sort of thing. :-)
