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.

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...

We had a blast, can't wait to do it again next year!
