\u201cHow much shopping can one person do?!?\u201d, my husband called out as my fingers clicked madly away on the keyboard jumping from one cyber-deal to another as quickly as I could.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost midnight!\u00a0 Don\u2019t distract me!\u00a0 I am working against the clock here!\u00a0 Just wait til you hear how much money I saved us\u201d, I responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich only means you spent that much more\u201d he replies.<\/p>\n

I try to block the sound of his voice out so my fingers can g8et back to racing madly on the keyboard as I watched the cyber deal countdown clock quickly tick away. Then \u201cbing\u201d my phone beeps to let me know I have an email from my husband\u2026.what?\u00a0 He is sitting right across the room from me\u2026why the email?\u00a0 Then I opened it and read the following poem (which he was quite proud of himself for finding and sending me):<\/p>\n

The Shopper<\/span><\/h2>\n

Busy as a bee,
\nFlying here and there.
\nOn a shopping spree,
\nCharging everywhere.<\/p>\n

Take away her card,
\nBefore she ruins your life.
\nNothing is as hard,
\nAs a shopping wife.<\/p>\n

\u00a0-by Juan Olivarez<\/p>\n

Men\u2026..<\/p>\n

I suppose it could be worse.\u00a0 I could be in a store shopping and trying to babysit him there.\u00a0 Just like this poor woman whose letter from the store owner made the newspaper:<\/p>\n

\"news-article-husband-shopping-christmas1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SO, yeah, it could have been worse then dealing with his comments and poems tonight.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So that is the story of\u00a0my night.\u00a0 And now it\u2019s close to 2am and I have finally cleared my last shopping cart online and it is time to write to all of you and then jump in bed for a short sleep so I can get up early tomorrow and start on Super Tuesday Online Discounts!<\/p>\n

Happy Shopping Everyone and may you get fabulous cyber discounts on all your purchases this season!
