I made it through my first ever Black Friday shopping experience uscathed. I left the house just after 5:00 this morning so I could stand in the rain outside Best Buy, next to a friendly man in shorts (brrrrr...dude, it's 40 degrees out!) with an abnormally large umbrella that he was, thankfully, willing to share. Once inside, I managed to get what I needed (woohoo!) while keeping my fingers intact. No black eyes, no bloodshed, very little panic.
While I don't think this will be an annual event for me (I prefer my sleep, thank you very much), I did get enough of a rush from the good deals at Best Buy and the two other stores I visited in the dark that when I got home at 7am, rather than going back to bed like any sane person would do, I unloaded my loot and spent five more hours shopping.
But I'm almost finished with my Christmas shopping!
And now I'm really, really sleepy.
Good for you. I've never been brave enough to do it. Actually the truth is I'm just too lazy and I hate crowds. The deal has to be REALLY REALLY worth my sleeping time.
