CYBER BLACK MONDAY

CYBER BLACK MONDAY

I have heard that is what this monday is called. The

monday that they expect the internet shopping day to

be really swamped. I am wondering if it really happens

or not? So… DO PEOPLE REALLY CHOOSE A DAY

to buy things on line?? Do they wait and choose that

day above all others? I would think it would make

it very hard to get where you are going or do business

if everyone is shopping at once. Whose idea was this anyway?

Leave it to me to ask all the stupid questions…YES I

tried googling it. The term is only two years old now.

People were said to come back to work and use computers

at work to order things on line for the Christmas holidays.

Retailers showed a  77% increase in on line sales on the monday

after thanksgiving back in 2004 so in 2005 they began to

really push the idea.

ME NO WAY.. I don’t order anything on line.. I just

don’t want to get all caught up in it. I would rather see and

feel and smell and try on things “in person”. I used to

be a “personal shopper” for many people though. People who

hated to even do grocery shopping. They would give detailed

lists in many stores, checks written out to the stores and I would purchase

whatever it was they needed. I had a blast doing it. Ask me where to

find things and I would tell you where it was. It was FUN spending

SOMEONE ELSE’S money and seeing the looks on their faces

when all those packages would come in their home.

It was a very “California” thing to do. Well, maybe just a

big city thing to do. People around where I live now..well

that is just something they would never dream of doing.

It was one of the better “fun jobs” I have had in my life.

Very satisfying too.  Well if you are shopping on line

today I sure hope you find what you want and may it be

ON SALE and ARRIVE ON TIME too!!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY !!

PS. I am calling mom’s doctor today (monday)

to see what is up with the blood tests and

to talk about her medications. Prayers are

really helping.. her BP numbers are still

high but NOT severe. THANKS SO MUCH
