So, I took a much needed sanity break from blogging over the holidays. I still haven’t caught up with email and won’t do that until tomorrow. I did post about a lot of sales for boxing day. I checked my stats today and the traffic was ridiculous from Dec 24 - 26.
An average of 3,642 unique visitors each day hit this site. Insane!
I’m amazed it didn’t go down, thank you Dreamhost, you rock.
Thanks to Redflagdeals for the link love. It was a major contributor.

Boxing Day sucked, IMO. I did manage to get some strategic items like Curry Cashews from Holt’s. For the most part everything was the same price. I looking high and low for tall flat black boots and was denied everywhere. If I did find something, it was too big, ill fitting, or just plain crap. I’m going to try the Zola’s warehouse sale for some boots.
I did find some things on the 27th at Girl Friday where everything was 50% off. I got 2 nice waist belts from Toronto company Brave Leather. I only have a picture of one, and it’s white and not silver. The other is black with embroidered elastic connecting the leather ends.
I also picked up a cute houndstooth tshirt from Engine9
