This was the first year I attempted the black Friday crowds in the wee hours of the morning. I left at 3:30 am and headed for Kohl's. The line to get in the door was at least a quarter mile long. Then when I finally got inside and found the few things that were left that were on my list,
I headed to the front of the store to get in line.
Then I headed toward the back of the store to get in line.
Then I headed to the back wall and wrapped around a few loops to get in line. I stood at the back of line for about 15 minutes, picked up all of my things, set them on a nearby display and went home to go back to sleep. Around 9:30 Jason and I packed up the kids and headed back out to Kohl's. I found most everything on my list, it wasn't nearly as crowded, I had make-up on this time, and was well rested. My good friend Laurie thrives on this kind of adventure. It must be her competitive side. Ü She braved Walmart and picked a few things up for me this morning. Thanks Laurie!
this is the first year I stayed in bed and it felt great. I did keep waking up with the feeling I was missing out but was to warm to get up. We shall go together next year, it is funner with a friend.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you had taken Jared with you when you went at 3:30, but I am assuming that is a pic from when you went later. At least you can say you got up and tried...I didn't even make an effort!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never gone... my sleep is worth more then the $. And I don't want to be trampled...
ReplyDeleteoh yeah and the small fact that I am claustrophobic...
