Live from the waiting room!

So my son just got taken back into surgery, which his doctor assures me is “so routine I could do it in my sleep.” (The “I” being him, not me.) Now we wait.

I don’t know about you, but deals always make me feel better….

The Target Daily Deals have a 6-pack of little scented lotions for $6 that would be a great stocking stuffer, if you want to get started on next year. (I know, I know. It’s insanely early. Just sayin’.)

Meanwhile, over at the Amazon Friday Sale, we have… coffee! Try to contain your shock! Lots and lots of coffee. And also some tea. And plenty of Kool-Aid (?). (We don’t drink that, but we do sometimes use it to dye my daughter’s hair. Heh.)

The Gold Box holds a 32-inch Toshiba 1080p HDTV for just $350, which is a pretty sweet deal if you’re in the market for one.

Gap is running a 30% off coupon this weekend—use code GAPSPRING for 30% off almost everything (some restrictions apply). I love how these coupons never work on women’s “premium” pants. What, I wonder, makes them premium? Save 30% at Banana Republic this weekend, too, with coupon code BRWINTER.

And if you’re feeling in the mood for something fancy, it’s Luxe Weekend at 6pm.com—plenty of expensive brands at less-expensive prices.

And in the time it took me to write this, they finished surgery. All is well! Now that’s a good Friday.

  20. That first line totally made me think of when I had sinus surgery. When I asked the doctor if he’d ever done the surgery before he said “you and one more will be two”. I love doctor humor!
