Did you send e-cards this year?

I did.  Not because I'm "green" or thrifty or anything like that. I sent some paper cards, too, with the family update and all.  But I was very late getting started and didn't get the first batch mailed out until Monday.  So the rest were e-cards.  Very good for procrastinators.

Online shopping rocks!!

Even a procrastinator like me just got some great discounts & free shipping.  All items in stock & promised by 12/18/09.  K-Mart/Sears saved me tax, too.  Their free shipping offer calculated the shipping, deducted it from the total before calculating tax & then added a lesser shipping charge on the new total.  Sounds convoluted, but it resulted in additional savings.
