November 27, 2009 Black Friday

I got up around 3:30 this morning and was at Wal-mart by 4:30. I did not realize they were open all night. This wouldn't have been such a big deal to me except that they did not let anyone check out until 5:00 a.m. this morning. This meant that there were tons of people there who had gotten in line hours before I got there and were just standing in line waiting for the check out lanes to open. It also meant that it was impossible to move in the store. You could not get down isles because people were just standing in front of them. It was awful. So, I left and went to Target.

I found a few things at Target, but not a lot. I did see Kelly and Jeremy, there, too. It was nice to talk to them for a few moments. I stood in line there for about 45 minutes or so before getting to check out. It wasn't too bad there.

I went to a couple different places after that and again did not get a whole lot. I stopped and had breakfast at Jack In The Box because I was starving. Then, I ended up at Toys R Us last. I got a few things for Caleb, there, but again did not find as much as I usually do on Black Friday. I did manage to find a really nasty head ache while I was out, though.

I spent the rest of the day laying around in bed trying to nap and fighting the headache. Around 4:00 p.m. I took Michaela up to my mom's. She is spending the night up there with my mom and Griff.

Tonight, Michael, Caleb and I went to Red Robin for supper. I had French Onion soup there. I like their soup. After that we went to Garden Ridge, Lowe's, Target and Wal-mart. Michael is searching for new lights to put outside on the house. He's not found what he wants yet. I managed to find a snowman for outside, a snowman/penguin snow globe and the Santa Clause that goes with the snowman and reindeer I've already bought for this year. Caleb got boots and gloves.

Now, I'm watching the new version of Halloween and getting very sleepy. I cannot believe there are only two days left until I have to go back to work. This break has gone by way too fast.
