There is no way in hell I go out on Black Friday. I mean, i have no money anyway -- is there REALLY going to be a fabulous enough sale for my teeny gifts anyway? Nope.
I am going to spend it in my PJ's, eating leftovers.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the concept of black friday is bizarre - esp after working in retail for so many years. The best deals often have limited numbers. of available products. and prices fall if sales are off - chains can react pretty quickly. and it is not the biggest shopping day of the year $$wise. That happens a week or so before xmas. So when a retailer says we have o open early to get that customer dollar - I think not. and longer hours -- Well if most store were open 10 - 10 tues - sat ; I think the same number of dollars would be spent
but really - i didn't spend much time thinking about this

I'd rather keep my sanity and pay the normal price than get in line hours before a store opens and have to fight my way through to pick up a sale price.
I know some people who like the challenge of Black Friday shopping but it just isn't for me.

No sleep for me, it seems. It it were tomorrow, I could be standing in line! OK, no.
The only way I could see myself getting up at 4a or whatever is if there were a particular big ticket item that I really, really wanted that from 4a-6a it was on sale for 40%+ off or something. Like a super fancy top of the line flat screen TV that makes coffee, too. Or my first robot. Then I might try to make an adventure out of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, Grace. That video. Bless.
ita, now I want those boots, too.
Being sleep deprived and a bit buzzed means I shouldn't comment on FB statuses, right? Right. Bedtime then.

Kat, that video of Grace MELTED ME! Oof.
Happy Birthday to K!
I'm going to actually try a Black Friday outing this year for the first time ever. Because a nice friend invited me and I do have a long list of stuff to get for the kids--now that they can write their own lists. Oy.
I think I'm going to surprise DH with a Soda Stream.

Happy Turkey Day, you guys.
I have a sore elbow from shovelling, and I didn't even have a lot of shovelling to do. I'm just old. Sigh.
