sadness consumes me--the magic bullet is gone

so i have loved the magic bullet since first i saw the infomercial. i could flip by it ten times a day and stop to watch every time. despite the horrific cast. i mean, those people are awful. but something about the magic bullet compels me. (for those of you who don't know, it's this little cooking contraption that does all sorts of things. i'd say it slices dices and juliennes, but none of that matters to me. what really matters is that you can make nacho cheese and pasta sauces and tasty alcoholic beverages.)

anyways, of course i would not pay $100 for this thing, tho i have been more tempted than i ever have been by an infomercial. BUT before i left for t-giv, i saw a wal-mart ad that said it would be sold for $44.88 after t-giv! oh my! this is great! i still have to grapple with it and after i return, i look online and do some price comparisons and whatnot and it turns out that this is at least $10 cheaper than you can find it anywhere else. and there's no shipping and handling. which i despise. but i still have to mull it over and make sure that i'm serious about this financial commitment. i mean, i just spent $100 on terrycloth pants. so i finally head out to the wal-mart this evening (venturing out of my apartment for the first time all day) AND THEY WERE ALL GONE!

the man told me that they had all been bought between 5am-11am yesterday morning!! DID NO ONE THINK THAT I WOULD COME BY ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF TOO LATE AND STILL DESPERATELY WANT A MAGIC BULLET?!?!!? WHAT JERKS! anyways, now i refuse to pay more than $44.88 for this product, but i also now have my heart set on it. sadness.
