Black Friday...FUN!
Yesterday I did something I vowed I would never do again...
shopped on Black Friday!
I worked in various malls around the area for 12 years.
For 12 years straight I worked black Friday.
It was nightmarish!
This year my sister Tiff asked if I would like to start a new tradition.
I accepted.
I went the idea that I was going to just have fun, see what all the hoopla was about , but not really accomplish anything.
The day started at...
I was out the door by 4:00.
As I was driving through town I saw the khols parking lot full, a line around the Target, and Walmart had a sea of people in front of it.
I arrived at Woodfield mall at 4:50 am.
My sister loves this day, so I let her lead the way.
I soon realized there were alot of deals to be had and I was getting caught up in the frenzy.
I didn't even have time to get my mug on t.v.!
We fell into a rythm, one of us would wait in the line while one shopped. Then, I would tag her out and she would shop, when it was time to get rung up I would call her on the cell, we purchased and we were on to the next store!
We did this for 4 1/2 hours.
At 9:am we did this...
We could no longer hold these...
So we made a drop off, and at...
We were eating this...
and this...
There was plenty of holiday...
By...
PM, it looked like this...
We had a blast, can't wait to do it again next year!

I had THE most fun yesterday! You never mentioned how you had to buy new shoes cause your feet hurt sooo bad! All those bags, I was thinkning how we should have taken a picture of your battle wounds from holding them. Your poor arms. You look soo amazing in all your pictures, but you always look good:) My abs got a work out from laughing soo hard at all the jokes we cracked. Can't wait til next year. Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so glad you and your sista had such a great day. Nothing like spending the day just the two of you. Maybe next year I can do the same with mine, sure looks like a lot of fun. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I can't wait to see my package. I am ordering two from Etsy today for my nieces so you will see my address again. Thank you again, XOXO
That looks like a blast! Santa looks really happy to have his photo taken with you two ladies!!
I'm the same as you with having worked WAY too many Black Firday's in my past. I LOVE a good bargain, but haven't ever tried shopping on Black Friday. Maybe I should give it a shot next year!!
That looks like fun!
I really like your hat. I tired one on and it did not look as nice on me as you. Very lucky!
I'm a gleek too!
