Black Friday AWESOME!

One of my favorite days of the whole year has to be Black Friday. While I enjoyed shopping this year and getting amazing deals on stuff for everyone on my list... What was really awesome was what we did after I got home from shopping:
Steven and I cooked our second turkey and invited Darren over for a second Thanksgiving turkey dinner- full of leftovers. Then we enjoyed our Second Comedy Movie Marathon! Our first marathon was in honor of mine and Darren's birthday's. We watched a lot of super funny movies and ate dinner at a local pub.

This time we did an ode to Bill Murray. At least, that is what it ended up being: Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack and Ghostbusters 2. I couldn't believe that I got up at 5, was out the door by 5:30 and shopping by 6. Then I came home, ate another full dinner and watched four movies before finally passing out around 9 or so. I call that a great day!

Preparation...

I'm preparing for a glorious weekend. I know you all probably think I can't wait to eat some yummy turkey, have some pie and don't get me wrong...what could be better than this?

But I'll just tell you that I only get up before 5 AM on one day of the year. That's right folks, The day AFTER thanksgiving.

They don't call it black Friday for nothing people!

I've spent the last 360-odd days preparing the following:

1. Special cart maneuvers
2. Elbow throwing
3. Starbucks ordering (you have to be quick!)
4. Super List: A mix of Christmas presents and my own personal wants/needs ( I use the term loosely)
5. Training to spot % off signs
6. How to balance your purse, coffee cup, and list in one hand whilest picking through a pile with the other ( This is actually a hard thing to do! My secret is the "over the shoulder bag")

This is some serious action folks. I know you think I'm crazy, but I've converted non-believers. Its amazing and its less than a week away! I better go, I have more prep work to do! Will I see you at Fred Meyers? :)
