Did you celebrate Buy Nothing Day? Yeah, neither did I.
So, remember way back to Friday when I encouraged all you scabs to buy nothing on Buy Nothing Day? Turns out I'm a big-fat hypocrite, as I bought seveal things I really didn't need. Wait, not true - I bought an assorted sub from SubWay, which I totally needed, because I was starving. And I bought this brass thing which hangs a Christmas wreath on your front door. I needed that to prove to my good-for-nothing neighbors that I am a jolly old soul this time of the year, and if they don't pipe down I'm going to leave a Very Merry Burning Bag of Dogshit at their door.
So yeah, I feels bad, but its not like I was one of those losers who was camping out at a Best Buy overnight so they could get $25 off a digital camera or something.
Additionally, I am sorry for using the term 'smug, shit-eating grin' twice in one week. I just like it so much!
See you tomorrow guys! I have some essiting news for yous alls! (PS - when my kid sister was little, she had a weird speech impediment where she said Gs and Xs like Ss. So exciting because essited. What a cutie).

not true.
i said "eggsactly" -exactly- and "pacific" -specific-like any other kid.
I just totally forgot that it was buy nothing day and bought the ultimate in unneccesary items - a jar opener and a rim roller from Lee Valley! (the first is actually kind of useful avoids painful hands - the second is a keychain that rolls up the rim on tim hortons cups). Adbusters is going to hunt me down in my sleep.
Ilana, I love that you spent something that you can only use for 4 weeks out of the year, to do the job your thumbs are more than capable of doing. Amazing: that is really what BND is all about. Also, could Lee Valley have thought of a name that was more Church and Wellsley than Rim Roller?
While the jar opener is very much for me (the awesomeness of it is only understood when you use it), the rim roller is to go in Matt's mom's stocking to prove myself as a sweet son's girlfriend. She loves her Timmy's tea. And the thing was like $2.
