I have been so busy lately with our family's birthday marathon month. Throw in Father's Day, and it's been a crazy couple of weeks. And all those birthdays and holidays mean a lot of shopping. I hate shopping. I never know what I want to get for someone or where to go to find what I want, and I always wonder if I'm getting the best price. For seriously, I hate shopping. Unless it's the kind that I can do in my sweatpants with no make-up on. Internet shopping. It's the way to go, folks. So I've spent a lot of time looking at the CSN Stores website lately. They have everything from LED lighting to pet caskets. I'm not kidding.
The hours I have spent looking through CSN's website have reminded me of that book, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. I type in "Steam" into the search bar, look through their steam cleaning options, and that reminds me that I broke the lid on my rice cooker a couple months ago, so I click on a rice cooker and look at that for a bit. And that reminds me that Andrew and I were talking about getting a food dehydrator a while back because it would be super cool to see if we could make some kick-butt salmon jerky - if there is such a thing. And that reminded me of our upcoming trip to Washington for Andrew's annual fishing-palooza. That means a ten hour car ride with four boys, so I typed "traveling with kids" into the search bar and found some awesome looking travel pillows that wrap around your neck that I have been wanting to try because it's so embarrassing when you doze off in the car and all of a sudden your head falls forward and you jerk awake and look around going, "Whawuzzat?", and there's drool coming out the corner of your mouth and everyone laughs at you.
And on it goes. CSN and I have spent a lot of time together lately.
I'm right there with you! I can't tell you how many times I've started looking for something specific and then looked at the clock in the middle of looking at something I totally don't need and realized it was 2am!
ReplyDeleteUmm, jerking awake in the car? That's totally me :)
ReplyDeleteI think I had better do some Internet shopping quick, because I haven't cooked dinner either....and who knows what I might need that I will remember once I get out there??
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh!
Between online shopping and blogging, it's a miracle that I'm able put a hot meal in front of my family each evening. The fact that I can shop in my pajamas or even take a quick potty break without losing my place in line. What a huge plus!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my place. Have a fabulous day. :)

I know what you mean. I feel like I have ADD when I get on the computer... never accomplishing what I set out to do. I hate to shop too!! Most women think I'm nuts. Good luck with all the parties!
ReplyDeleteI very frequently paraphrase If You Give a Mouse a Cookie to my husband.
ReplyDeleteExcept it's usually more like "If you give David a cheeseburger, he's going to ask for a beer to go with it."
I keep hearing about CSN, though never have visited. And I'm SUCH an internet shopper. If you were to classify me for psychographic purposes, I'd be a "heavy user".
ReplyDeleteHey...CSN contacted me to do a give away!!! It's pretty sweet. I am amazed at all of their stores. It's crazy!! No I just have to get my butt in gear and do it!
ReplyDeleteI totally have ADD when it comes to internet shopping. By the time I'm done, I have no idea what I started shopping for!!
Thank the lord above I won't go there. You know, like Ben Franklin said, "small holes sink big ships" and all that wisdom...
