Kmart is having another of their 50% off selected items sales this weekend. I didn't go inside today to see what was on sale since the crowds were pretty bad, but I live about 5 minutes from the place so may check this out tomorrow. I usually don't find much of anything here, but other people...

Ok, I went out for about 30 min and came back to find the 360 on my doorstep. I have no clue who signed for it, and the delivery man apparently did not make it on saturday and just said that I was not home instead. End of rant.....

Does anyone have the problem of a cat deciding to wake them up at 4 am, and being quite persistant about this so ignoring them is very difficult? How did you deal with this (without getting rid of the cat, which I know that at least one person would say)?
