While most of you are calculating your commissions, praising Cyber Monday and white knuckling it for the holiday home stretch. I’m trying to just forget the last two weeks and move on from this nasty cold and flu plagued me for the last 14 days. I just couldn’t kick this bug and it put a serious damper on my Turkey day indulging, my anticipated brick and mortar shopping trips and my all-important lounging around the house plans.

While I typically do about 50 percent of my holiday shopping online, this year that figure seems way too low given the lack of gifts I have already purchased and the time I have left to take care of shopping. Living on the West Coast, but having all my family back East (and my husband’s family in middle America) we need to send our gifts by December 11th to insure they arrive before The Big Day. There’s no way I want to call home on Christmas day to hear that disappointed “Mom tone” if her bundle of presents don’t arrive on time.

So, after I wade through my mountain of email - ironically, mostly research about Cyber Monday shopping figures and returns - and take care of some pressing work tasks, it’s all about the online shopping for me. So, for me, I’m declaring this Cyber Tuesday, which is likely to turn into Cyber Wednesday, and Cyber Thursday and Cyber whatever, until I can cross everyone off my gift list.
