Black Friday

The sound of the alarm at 4:00 AM this morning was enough to make me want to wonder why I had decided to go shopping this morning. But, I got up, showered and was at Target by 4:45. The line for Target wound around the front of the building, down the side, and continued around the back. Luckily, I was at the back corner. :-) After waiting in line for 15 minutes to get in, my faithful sidekick Rachel showed up. We hustled inside and found what we were looking for: pajamas, vest, and a game. Then we headed for the checkout. Little did we know that we would stand in line for the checkout for the next hour 1/2. Oh yes, you read that correctly. For some weird reason there were three lines and we happened to stand in the non-moving one. After Target Rachel went home and I went over to Jo-Ann's. They had flannel on sale for $1.60 yd. I got enough to make 5 pillowcases. Jo-Ann's only took 1 hour and 15 min. because they had an express line for cuts if you had 3 or less. Luckily I did because I would have left due to the fact that they called number 28 when I pulled 98 out of the machine. :-) After Jo-Ann's I ran into Barnes and Nobles and was in and out in 15 min. All of this shopping and I deserved breakfast. So, I got breakfast and was home by 8:45. Four hours of shopping and 7 people are crossed off my list. I think it's time for a nap.
