S is for Switch

S is for switch.

Normally I do my banking and go shopping on Saturdays, but this holiday season I am planning on pulling a little switcharoo and changing my errand day to Monday or Tuesday. I don't mind going out on Saturday during Christmas, but I think it would be a wiser use of time to do most of the running around on a calmer day of the week. Besides, Saturdays during the month of December are really meant for parties and playing.

  1. I agree ~ I like in the middle of the week errands. Usually I do that on Thursdays, as when I visit Elizabeth, she's one block from a Target and Trader Joes...I can't get visiting and shopping done with one trip.

    1. Shopping on Saturday usually isn't too bad, but this past Saturday it was already noticeably crazy.

  3. Is this your eccentric thing, to switch shopping days? Just kidding. Saturdays are crazy out there, especially during this season. Maybe some Monday I can come shopping with you!

  5. Back in the 1980s, I didn't like to take long vacations. So I would take off every Wednesday for eight weeks. Great day to do chores.

    1. Right now I could use a whole week full of Wednesdays off.

  6. Oh I so agree with you! I cannot stand the crowds during the holiday time - I used to be able to shop til I dropped, but no longer! I start to have hot flashes instead! lol

    1. There is still a part of me that finds shopping in a crowd, and even driving in a Christmas traffic jam, part of the holiday excitement (What I mean is that it doesn't fluster me), but I get frustrated by the fact that every weekend is full of other holiday activities. If all my weekends are full of "other" things then I'm left with no time to shop and that is just sad.

  7. I think every Sat and Sun in December is booked for parties and programs, going to be LOADS of fun. So the weekday is the only days I have to shop.
