Black Friday

Well I've gone and done it and joined the ranks of the insane. I got up at 4am to hit the day after Thanksgiving day sales for the first time ever. There were 3 of us ladies that hit the sales and braved the sea of people. Let me tell you I was certainly not prepared for the 5am rush at Walmart. I've never seen a crazier example of people acting like animals all to save a few bucks. There were people everywhere and a few nasty exchanges occurred close to me a few times and all I wanted to do after about 30 minutes of trying to just get through the crowd was leave. Needless to say I didn't get what I came for but live and learn. We did head to several more stores after that and the shopping was much much calmer and easier. It was a more organized chaos if that is possible. All in all I think I got all my Christmas shopping done except for stocking stuffers. Yippeeeeeee.

After I was done with shopping I met Jeff at a school where his coworkers were gathering to play a little flag football turkey bowl. It was a squeeze for us to finish by noon and get over to the football field but we did our best. It is tough trying to get 3 ladies Christmas shopping done and brave those crowds to get back. I wanted to take a picture of Jeff playing but I got told no, plus I forgot my camera. Oh well I think we had a fun Black Friday and I've learned a few lessons about insane shoppers.
