Black Friday Blog...

We all know what Black Friday is, right? The day retailers across the US plot ways to get customers into their stores first so that their profits can {hopefully} bolster a dismal year of sales.

Well this year I fell victim to the hype. So in my normal way of coping with my mistakes, I am going to give my thoughts to those who are nice enough out there to listens...

Never underestimate how crazy 'nice' people can become when they are forced to wait in lines before the sun rises.

Crowds at 4:00 in the morning look no different than crowds at 1:00pm...there is just more merchandise to choose from on the shelves.

Always go with someone...their name shall be 'line holder'...and they will earn a steak dinner after just two stores.

Make-up is optional.... Or you can just go to sleep with make-up on and you are ready to walk out the door at quarter to 4:00. I would never do this of course.

People laugh a lot in the morning, probably because they are crazy. I like this...a lot.

Just stay in your nice warm bed unless you are making a LARGE purchase. The lines are not worth saving $2 on a pair of socks.

Black Friday should not be about you. You can buy for yourself 364 other days of the year.

After one store, you can always go back to bed...then when your husband rolls over and says with and alarmed voice, "Honey, aren't you going to go out?" You can just smile and thank your lucky stars that you are not still partaking of the chaos.

And last of all, not that I would do this, but you can write your blog while you are waiting in line... Just to save time.

Happy Shopping all you crazies...
