We love Black Friday. Probably we shouldn't as much as we do considering we have no money, but then when else are you going to get DVDs for $2?!?! Scott did his usual middle of the night shopping at Best Buy and Circuit City. I stayed home until the late hour of 6:30 am waiting for my turn since Jane was still sleeping and I couldn't bring myself to face the crowds with a tired baby. Once Scott finally made it back to the house I hit Home Depot for a drill/driver I've been wanting for about 2 years. The salesman asked if it was for me or my "boyfriend" (I was too tired to put mywedding ring on at 6 am). I thought, Am I being flirted with?. Then when I was asking for help in the bit department he called me "sweetheart". So, I think it was more of a condescending thing more than a flirting thing, but it was fun to think, if only for a second, that someone other than Scott might think I was cute without makeup or my hair done at 6:30 am. After that fun, I hit 2 Walmarts. Yes, 2. The first one was completely wiped out, so I thought I'd try another that had only opened a couple of months ago. I'm glad I did, because I found almost everything that I had wanted. I told Scott that next year, that is the Walmart that I'm hitting first thing. Those people in that neighborhood must still be
Black Friday Virgins.
So, what is so great about shopping at 5 am? Having ALL your Christmas shopping done by 7 am of course! Only 24 days left until my favorite day of the year!
Welcome to the Christmas season!

We really missed you!! I didn't go because I wasn't feeling well so Luke & Brady started at 4:30. Not nearly as crazy as last year... haha. Glad to hear you got a great haul! Any idea when you'll be heading to Southern Utah? :D
That sounded like such great fun!!! Jason went shopping and got us a 37 inch TV, but that is about all that we did!!!
I was working trying to make sure people like you behaved! Only we started at midnight, yes thats right open for business at midnight, imagine that fun!
I hate being called 'sweetheart' and 'honey'. Sounds like fun, I hope you got it all done!
I love early shopping too...without kids! I got several things on Black Friday but am still left doing some online shopping. I didn't plan very well.
Visiting via BPOTW...I know what you mean when you find an "unplundered" store and can just clean up.
Since you don't live in our town, we'll give you the hint that we forgot about until too late this year - Wal-Mart will match any advertised price, and this seems to extend to even Black Friday items...nice!
