Wakey, Wakey

Well, I may be a sucker.
I woke up at 6:30 this morning. First thing I discovered is that at 6:30 the sky is still dark, I don't really do pre-dawn hours well. I stumbled around the house doing my morning routine and wishing it was two hours later. It wasn't, however, because today Walmart started their Christmas special sales (oh boy, the First Friday of the month instead of the First Friday following Thanksgiving, when will this trend end?), and one of the first things discounted beyond belief was a HD-DVD player--ahh yes, 1/3 the cost of the MSRP--the evil Walmart lured us in with a deal. And, of course, now that we have 60-inch-plasma-screen-fancy-pants-television (which I will call the giant television, or GFTV) in our midst, it is essential that we have an HD-DVD player, just plain mandatory. And even though this isn't the best, it'll do until the blue-ray vs. HD-DVD battles are done (obviously).
So, I go to behemoth mega-store at bright and early this morning. I thought Walmart opened at 8, and I arrived at 7:40 to make sure we got this toy. Turns out that Walmart opens at 7 and I was blessed enough to just get the last of 11, I even got to gloat to an old man.
Now to the us, our, we grammar I am using. This is my boyfriend's GFTV and technically his HD-DVD player. This is where I am a sucker, I woke up early for my boyfriends GFTV. I drove down to Arroyo Grande this morning for a cup of coffee and a Rubbermaid tub. And 4 post-its that I can use to my advantage, which I shall explain another day.
To, conclude I am a tired sucker and for future reference Walmart opens at 7 am (and they somehow have an entire staff of morning people, chirpy chirpy morning people).
