In just a mere 10 days it will be Thanksgiving. I don't know about you but it seems like this year has just flown. I don't think I have even gotten use to the idea that it is 2008 and soon it will be 2009. Crazy how time moves faster and faster the older we get.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner the adds have started to pile up. Everywhere you look stores are warming up and preparing for, "Black Friday." I always wondered why they called it, "Black Friday," until I learned that they call it that because it is the first day of the year that most stores move from the red into the black. I still think it is weird that it is only in the last month of the year that stores make a profit.
Well with "Black Friday," in mind I decided that this week I will ask the question, "Are you a Black Friday shopper?" Do you love the sales? Do you get up at 4:00 in the morning to be the first in line for the goods? What is the most killer deal you have ever gotten, on the most notorious of good deals mornings? Or are you a stay in bed and stay away from all the insanity type of gal?
Personally, I am the latter. It boggles my mind why anyone would want to stand in line at 4:00 in the morning. I know there are good deals but are they, "THAT GOOD?" Every now and then I will venture to a store or two on black Friday, but most of the time it is just for a good session of people watching. Rarely do I even purchase anything on that day.
Let us all know and hey if you know of a deal we can't pass up, please share. :)
Oh, in regards to my last post. It has come to my attention that several of my friends think...that maybe... I um.... might be going a little nuts.
I have decided to blame it on sugar deprivation. Yup, any craziness on my part is due solely to the fact that I haven't had any sugar in 3 weeks. My body is in shock and deprivation mode. Kind of like a starving person. Okay, well not so much like a starving person.
So coming to the recognition that I'm acting a little crazy I have revoked my blackmail.
That is until I forget I am crazy and realize that I NEED THOSE PIES.
Happy Monday.

You do need those pies... I was just trying to set Sharonda up for success before you plaster your blog with embarrassing photoes of her. =)
Wal-Mart is the best to wait in line cuz you can go inside. Target stocks their stuff all day, so if you don't get there first thing, they usually have restocked whatever you wanted. Just in case you were wondering!
This year I am almost done, so hopefully I won't spend all our money on Black Friday. I already have a list from Target and K-Mart ready to go!
Yeah, I know I'm crazy, but it really is a lot of fun.
