Black Friday....

Another Black Friday has come and gone. It seems that in years past when my mom and I went Black Friday-ing on our own the weather was fine... but the last two years when we've made it a family affair it seems the weather wants us to bond together in fear. Last year the roads were rather icy and my mom managed to hit a deer on her way to pick us up. No problem... she didn't slow down, she just kept on coming, because we had sales to hit and NOTHING stands in the way of a good sale! This is what the roads looked like this year.....

The funny thing was, we weren't even a mile from the house, we had just about bit it on a curve and low and behold what comes bounding out of the woods but a gaggle of deer just determined to kiss our van yet again. It didn't happen though, whoohoo.

This years players were... Michelle... super excited to shop as you can see.

Kerry and Jessica.... who had to have their caffeine

Me who was fearing for my life at every turn... Kid you not my mom was going down the center of the road and didn't care.....

And my mom... who really should of been driving and not posing for pictures.

They made fun of me because I took a sweatshirt but didn't wear it... no this is how I shopped all day.

Every time I'd get into a store I'd end up sweating in my sweatshirt so I said forget it, and just ran from store to store in my short sleeved number. I was sick already so why worry, right? Of course they proceeded to give me a hard time all day about my low cut shirt. I simply told them how I had planned to use said shirt to cut in line, get some poor man to hold my place in line or give me the last toy I was looking for. It's all about the procedure... you have to have a plan in place for EVERY possible twist.... I was prepared.



In the end I got what was coming to me I suppose. I was standing by my moms window when a breeze came up and knocked a huge wad of snow down my shirt. It was super cold... and rather ironic.

All things considered it was a fun time had by all, and made more eventful by the roads. I think we got some good deals and most importantly we got another star for hitting Black Friday yet again.
