I know many people would stay as far away from the mall on black Friday as they possibly can. A few years ago I would have said the same. But, my friend Renee talked me into going out several years ago and we really had a great time. Not being a morning person, it's hard for me to slip out of my warm bed to do anything. I don't like mornings, and I don't like crowds, but I do enjoy going out to shop on black Friday.
I have my shopping list, I gathered all the flyers, and put together my itinerary. Neighbor Deb was game, despite the fact that she had to be at work by 9. Crazy! We agreed to meet at 4 a.m. and head for Walmart. I was shocked when Kera called at 3:45 and said she'd be at my place by 4. The three of us set off for the madness that is Walmart at 5 in the morning. Honestly, I'd had enough of it in pretty short order, but we were finding things on our list, so I did my best to tolerate the chaos.
Moving on to Target where the line went through the entire store, we walked in and walked right back out, and headed back to the East Shore. We found a few things at Five Below, and Game Stop where Deb left us. Kera and I c ontinued into Target, where we shopped, and walked right up to a cashier. Good deal! Went to Toys R Us and then to Neato Burrito for lunch. We ended our shopping day and I only need two items to have all the grandkids gifts purchased.
Yeah, an early morning, lots of craziness, but fun with Kera and Deb and lots accomplished. A good day.

Not my idea of a fun time!
I went with a friend and Kera and we had fun. Ok, Walmart was a bit frustrating, but the rest went great. The line at Walmart wasn't bad but people are nuts. We stood in a small line at Toys R Us, and no line at all in Target. We hit it just right.
