Black Friday

This Black Friday was kind of a disappointment.  I think it's because the hubster and I have no need for the usual items for sale.  How many vacuums and drills can one household need?  I think another contributing factor was that I shopped a lot prior to Black Friday as a stress relief the week before.  So what did I do last night?

I met up with my friend Caroline to pick up some $5 fleeces at Old Navy for our lacrosse team.  The plan is to embroider them and sell them to our team for cheap (probably the cost of the fleece).  Since I was out, I decided to stop in at Kohls.  I saw that the line was pretty long when I drove past on my way to Old Navy.  I went in and the cash register line was insane!  I walked around the store and picked up everything I wanted and got into line.  I stood there for 15 minutes and it did not move!  I decided it was not worth it to stand in line for an hour plus to buy some cheap sheets.  I dropped the items off in a corner on top of some boxes and went home to go to bed.

I woke up the next morning and headed out to try again hoping the line would be shorter.  I walked in and walked over to the corner where I left my stuff and it was still there!  Score!  I hopped into a much shorter line and 15 minutes later I was out of there.  Next, I headed over to Macy's to see if there was anything I could get and use a $10 off coupon.  No luck there or in the rest of the mall.

Last stop was to Home Depot to pick up some wire connectors.  I was home by 11 and just in time for a delivery.  Overall a very uneventful Black Friday.  I think I'll be staying home to work on some things around the house for the rest of the weekend.
