Black Friday

Though I have never really understood the Black Friday thing, I decided I wanted to try it out this year... just for fun. I had talked to a few friends, also known as black friday experts on the best kept secrets. So after thanksgiving dinner I scoured the ads looking for everything I just couldn't live without. I even had Greg convinced to get up with me but as the day wore on Greg changed his mind, telling me I could just get his items for him when I went out. I quickly corrected him telling him this outing included him too. As he went to bed he said, "wake me up and MAYBE I will go." My body miraculously woke up at 3:59 just in time to hear the the 4:00am alarm.At this point Greg decided to come, since the alarm also woke him up. We (me Greg and Bubba) jumped in the car at 4:15 and headed to walmart. When we got there there were already alot of people standing around pallets of stuff waiting for the 5 am frenzy to begin. I found my place by my pallet, and waited... to just do whatever everybody else did. Someone came over the intercom at 5 and the grabbing and running began. For a moment I just stood with a huge smile on my face and laughed, and then I quickly realized this was game time and began running and grabbing myself. Racing from one side of walmart to the next to get all my needed items. This was actually funner than I had expected. We met back up and gathered all our loot in one cart and sorted though what we really needed. And then we headed to the checkout line and waited to buy our coveted items. I not only went to walmart, I also visited Target, shopko, and Toys r Us. I would say I had a great time, this was actully really fun to me. I later asked Greg if he had fun and he said "I don't think I would call it fun but I would do it again" Sounds like I scored!!
