One way to avoid spending money on Black Friday...misplace your debit card.
I finally found it in my laundry basket, but spent a good part of the day panicked cause I couldn't find it. Wasn't planning on crazy shopping, luckily, but not having the card helped me resist the urge.
Why did I not read the manpain chart before? That is fucking brilliant, I tell you!
People were lining up at the Best Buy in Pentagon City last night when DH walked my brother back to the Metro station at about 8:30. Crazycakes! I hope they got some cheap TVs - it was cooooold last night.
We spent the morning down on the Mall at the Natural History Museum and then Dylan rode the carousel. Afternoon has been spent inside as it is way too cold to go out.

I keep waffling on buying a 32G iPod Touch. MacMall has it at an excellent price, with a handful of free (after rebate) accessories.
But I keep telling myself, "Well, I don't NEED it...", which is true.
Bah. I'm a waffler.
Steph, I don't need this Quiznos sandwich I'm eating right now, or this Coke. I could be eating lettuce and drinking water.
I went to Best Buy with my sister and father. My sister bought a camera, and I looked at netbooks but both of the ones I liked were sold out. The store was nowhere near as full as I expected -- the parking lot for that shopping center had a whole bunch of empty spaces.
I'm a waffler too, Steph. I want an iTouch bad, but it's hard for me to justify right now. I don't need it--really, does anyone
need
an iTouch?--but I want it.
Do eeeet, Steph! (And Burrell!)
I just got back from a craft sale. Bought fudge,a handmade wooden spoon and petite little french rolling pin, and a beeswax candle. All for me. (So goes my Xmas shopping.) I also had a red velvet cupcake, the first red velvet anything I have ever had.
But see... if we are talking desired electronics, a GPS is more useful than an iTouch, and a Wii for the family would provide more entertainment value. And there's no way we are going to buy all 3 of them this season.
