Ha, I had a thought like Alex. I work retail and I have heard people talking about how they were going to spend theirs, too, or that they are spending it. Yep, it sure did get people back into buying but it is bs.

I figured it would just help out, with everyday expenses rising, it isn't practical to blow it.

I've been calling to see if I can get a room {as opposed to housekeeping camp} for this weekend. The only thing available? The Awahnee. It would be almost $1,000 for two nights. Wow, just about the amount of what ever check we are supposed to get. But, I figure nah because we aren't intending to be in the room except to sleep {wait, what am I saying?} and so why waste that money?

I am horrible with money. I'll go hang out with Gemini Cricket, Brad, and whomever else falls into our clique.

Still nada for us.
