Black Friday

rivermom · 11-22-2007, 09:09 AM

How many of you are heading out into Black Friday and shopping?

I have never done that nor do I have any desire to ever do so.

Watching people fight over wool socks that are 75% off is just insane to me.

And...I guess tomorrow is a day many folks begin putting up Christmas decorations. Is this one of your traditions? Hmmmm, I don't do that either.

Pretty much going to be yet another very lazy non-eventful day tomorrow for me.

I don't get up early to go shopping on Black Friday unless I was buying a big ticketed item, and then I still may not..

I will do some Christmas shopping but at a normal time..lol I am working in the afternoon so that will take care of that.

As far as putting up the tree I don't until the second week in Dec. I keep it up till the 6th of January.

No, I won't be going. I went once with my daughters and daughter-in-law and that was enough for me. I think that I'm just going to stay home and enjoy it being so clean!!!! Maybe have a scrapbooking day!!!

There no black friday shopping here either, it's unknown here LOL

We put up our Christmas trees after dec.5, thats when Sinterklaas has "lifted hes heals" and heads back to Spain - he arrived on saterday, kids are going crazy LOL

I have been, when our son was little and hurting and the toy he wanted for months that was very expensive and hard to find was at the toy store in limited quantities that morning... I had fun and kept it limited. It felt so good to get something that he dreamed of for him!

I've looked through all the ads from this mornings paper, but still haven't decided if I want to go shopping tomorrow. I got up really early due to hubby snoring and I'm so tired right now. I'm hoping to sleep a little later tomorrow. I told him if he woke me up snoring, I was going to smack him with the lamp!

Emmsmom · 11-22-2007, 04:21 PM

You couldn't pay me to go out on Black Friday. LOL I guess if there was something that I really wanted and it was on sale them MAYBE! I will be having a lazy day at home as well.

katepoet · 11-22-2007, 08:22 PM

I can't believe it! The people started lining up at Best Buy at noon today for the opening tomorrow morning to get the deals on laptops and such stuff - amazing!

Ok, I was wrong! No scrapbooking day tomorrow! The grandkids have tricked us into a slumber party tonight........so much for a clean house tomorrow. I've got quite a story to tell on this one. Be prepared to do a LOT of laughing!!!!

katepoet · 11-22-2007, 09:13 PM

Oh, goodie! Something to look forward to!

Oh Diana, I'm going to have a hard time not checking in here every 30 minutes or less to find out the story.

Slumber party!! How fun is that?!!

Looking forward to reading all about this, LOL.

AngieDoogles · 11-23-2007, 03:42 PM

Diana, the slumber party story was awesome!!!

I was silly enough to go out shopping today, but we went at about 9 instead of 4am like most people. I thought all the good stuff would be gone, but I was wrong! I got a new computer for $500. Slimline, 2 gigs of ram, 400 gig hard-drive, very fast dual core processor. Can't beat that!

DianaB · 11-23-2007, 04:33 PM

Wow, Angie, that would have been hard to pass up. That's what I've asked to receive for Christmas.....a computer.

Janet · 11-23-2007, 04:48 PM

I did end up going to a nearby city with LynneB. I bought two bluetooth headsets..one for me and one for my son for his birthday. It's always nice to go shopping with Lynne, but we didn't go until around 2:00 PM I think.
