Black Friday Madness

This morning I did it. I was out of bed at 3:36 am and hit several stores before the sun was even up. Is this normal for me? Well, no ... But my mother in law did ask nicely and after telling her how I thought waking up that early for sales was crazy I agreed to tag along. J suggested I sing some carols in the lines. I feared typical grouchy holiday shoppers. The parking at walmart was ridiculous. We parked up the road at another store and walked. There was no room to take more than a couple of steps consecutively. However, I did pick up a few gifts and got excellent deals on them, helping to stay in a cheap Sharon budget (I won't even hardly ever buy a shirt over $5, thank you JCPenney clearance.) surprisingly, there weren't any grouchy people either! I was surprises by the few who had matching black Friday shopping team shirts. There was a lot if tag teaming going on. One lady checking out at kohls was hollering to her friend, who was obviously leaving the store on a very important mission saying "I need a RED, PINK and WHITE iPod!!!" and the other lady was like "ok got it!!" oh brother... Seriously, it had better really be on sale or I will just pay more to go when there's nobody there.

I did get an awesome deal on a TomTom. Maybe I should put that on the 4wheeler at the farm next time so I won't get lost. Good idea Sharon.
