Things you don't let a kid w/ Autism decide:
...whether to get the H1N1 vaccine or not. Any school nurse/teacher/aide who fears a physical struggle with my kid should maybe go get a job at the Hallmark Card store or the dry cleaners.

Christmas 2009
It's that time of year where if it wasn't for the wars and celebrities behaving badly, the sunday paper would be nothing but a bunch of glossy store ads.
This year every retailer has a one day sale (with a preview day). I guess "two day sale" doesn't convey that same sense of urgency. To further shrink the window of opportunity: "Power Hours" and coupons for "Early Birds".
In other words, it's the "Will every person on the planet please report to the mall at the exact same time and engage in a physical battle over the last pair of memory-foam slippers" event. Sounds like too much of an adrenaline rush for me so I'm doing most of my shopping on line.
Here's one of my favorite finds: Bio-degradeable flipflops for the green consumer. They're very cute but I'm a little concerned: what if I wade through one too many puddles and suddenly find myself shoeless? The liquor store doesn't let you in without shoes...
I won't need to get a Snuggie because in a serendipitous flash of brilliance/mild intoxication I put my fleece robe on backwards and Guess What: It's a Snuggie! I know- Genius!
Anyhoodles, happy shopping everyone! Drive safely and remember that NO ONE on your list wants a giant tin of popcorn!
