Cyber Monday? Or Cyber Marcy? …
The Sunday morning after Thanksgiving.
Marcy stomp struts into the office on a mission. She is large and in charge.
Marcy: That’s it. I’m sick of it.
Cynthia: Sick of what?
Marcy paces back and forth, fuming.
Marcy: I’m sick of ALL of it.
Cynthia: Would you please be more specific?
Marcy: No. I don’t please. In fact, I very much displease. So much so that I am … leaving.
Marcy dramatically strut stomps out of the office.
Cynthia: Okaaay. Well… I’ll be here when you’re ready to talk about –
Marcy immediately strut stomps back into the office.
Marcy: I’m sick of Black Friday this and Black Cat Friday that and Black Fur Friday … hisssssssss!!! Since WHEN did Penelope Kitten and all her black cat friends take over?!
Cynthia: Well, let’s see… that happened about one year ago Tuesday when –
Marcy: Hisssssssss. I. Am. Done.
Cynthia: Okay. Okay.
Marcy: I’m declaring Monday, “Cyber Marcy”.
Cynthia: Ohhhh…. so what will you do? Have a 20% off discount, too? Just like Penelope’s Black (Fur) Friday sale?
Marcy: No. I’m adding 20% to each sale.
Marcy slowly swishes her tail back and forth.
Cynthia (hedging): Hunh. Um. Well. That’s one way to do it. But. You know… that’s not how Cyber Monday actually works.
Marcy (slowly and scarily): It’s not Cyber Monday. It’s Cyber MARCY.
Marcy strut stomps over to the computer to change the discount code on the Marcy Very Much Shop.
=^..^=
*Hi Lovely Readers! I managed to change back the code to 20% OFF when Marcy wasn’t looking. Whew.
Either code is good through Sunday, December 3rd – BFF20 or CYBERMARCY.
Shop “small”. Shop “black cat”. Shop “Marcy”. As always, a portion of our proceeds will go to cat rescue. Yay!

Marcy, I think you’re onto something there. Most of us don’t read carefully and would no doubt see 20 percent on and assume 20 percent off!
exactly. except that cindy is now hiding the login info from me so it really is 20% off. that’s okay. i’ll figure it out. i have extraordinary good hacking skills. as in computer skills. not hairball skills. although i’ve got those too.

I shared a big Black Friday and Cyber Monday newsletter on my blog for readers, but I hardly did any shopping myself! I did shop around town on Small Business Saturday, but it’s now the 7th, and I’m realizing juuuuuuust how much gift shopping I have left to do. Oops!

You’ve still got time! Christmas seems far away this year. Maybe because Thanksgiving was early?
Happy Shopping!
