Black Friday

I've been meaning to update my blog for a while now, but haven't really had the time to sit down to do it. I've had lots of thoughts about what to blog about, but one thing in particular that keeps coming up is Black Friday. I am a Black Friday shopper, it has become somewhat of a tradition, and it is something that I enjoy doing. Some people think this is crazy, and apparently they have no inhibitions when it comes to telling me so! Here's the deal: some people get up early to go hunting for a week. Some people like to camp overnight in the south hills in the middle of February, and some people get up very early to go to spinning or aerobics. Do these people continually get harrassed about their activities? Maybe so, but probably not so much as those of us who enjoy getting up early to save a few dollars. Because of the great sales on black friday I have most of my Christmas gifts purchased. So now I can focus on all of the other fun activities that come up during the month. Now I don't have to worry about who's getting what, and which store has a great sale on Barbies. So anyways, I guess what I could have said in fewer words is: To each his own!!

    Amen! But it would be nice if they (who are 'they' anyways?) started Black Friday later in the day! :-)

    LOL! You tell THEM!!! Phil laughed at me yesterday because I had a coupon for every store I shopped in! Helped save some of his pennies that he works so hard for though!

    Point taken :) I was one of the people giving you a bad time and I'm sorry. But in my defense it's not getting up early that stops me from going, it's the people. I don't do crowds. I'm glad you can put your shopping behind you and enjoy your family for the rest of the holiday season.

    DeAun, don't worry, I totally understand why you would want to face the crowds! Besides, you weren't who I was talking about :o)

    Kathy, good for you! He should be thankful to have such a thrifty (and smokin' hot) wife like you!!

    Mom, could you imagine how many more people there would be if they started the sales any later? Yikes!
