The pie is in the oven. I am finally off my feet.
There is no price-saving worth it to me to spend hours in line the day after Thanksgiving. Bah.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

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.

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.
