Black Friday
I never consider it. I don’t really like to shop in the first place. I hate crowds. I really hate standing in line. I didn’t bother looking at the sale flyers. I assumed that, just as in years past, I would sleep in, have a lazy morning followed by some leftovers for lunch, followed by a lazy afternoon.
Starr had other plans.
I told her that if it was important to her and if she woke herself up, to come wake me up and I would go with her. 3:30 in the morning she knocked on my door ready to get going. Damn. She had a small specific list for Kohl’s and for Target. We did NOT stand in line outside the stores, but arrived just in time to follow the last of the lines in the door. We did our business and were done before 6 am.
Back in bed by 6:30 where the rest of my day could proceed as originally planned!!
Whew!
Here is one of my favorite holiday songs from last year, I hope to find a few more this year:

I always wondered what kind of people went shopping at 3:30 IN THE MORNING!!!
Thank you, now I know…
Yup, I can no longer say “I never” regarding black Friday!
Also… isn’t it funny what our daughter get us to do sometimes?

I really thought I was safe with the “you wake me up” thing, she never wakes up to her alarm. I was so wrong!!
What a girl is willing to do to go shopping!
I can’t do it. It’s always my last day of my week off and I want to spend it sleeping in and decorating the house. I’m impressed with the early morning!

Tara wanted to go out too, not to shop, just to experience the madness. I was awake, and was happy when she did not wake up! Maybe when she is a little older!

I say NO! to Black Friday!!
Last year I was trapped in the mall parking lot for 45 minutes trying escape the grounds with sanity my intact. It was that packed. Never again.
