Black Friday

On the biggest shopping day of the year when people form lines at 5 in the morning for the door buster deals, I was still asleep. For someone who loves shopping as much as I do, you'd think I'd understand the crazies who do this, but it honestly baffles me. Who wants to sleep on a sidewalk in cold weather? I guess it matters to some. Don't worry, I didn't stay home all day. My friend and I made our way to the mall around lunch time. We were afraid we would have to put up a major fight in the parking lot, but we had the parking fairy on our side and found a spot within five minutes. Lucky us! The crowds weren't as bad I was expecting. We actually were able to walk into some stores and try things on! Did you know Victoria's Secret sells jeans in the store now? Well, they do. And they were on sale! So of course I had to buy two pairs. Then there was a sale at The Gap where the sweaters were buy get one free. Good deal! The only issue we had was finding a place to sit and eat our lunch. Maybe it was because we decided to eat when everyone else in the mall decided to. But we finally find a spot to kick up our heels and refuel. We put in a good four hours and helped boost the failing economy. So you're welcome economy!
