I wish

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was pretty good. I cooked a small turkey, stuffing, & gravy. We also had mashed potatoes, corn & crescent rolls. The grandkids were here for dinner and they enjoyed it. They also enjoyed the pumpkin & dutch apple pies with whipped cream we had for dessert.

Today is Black Friday and I’m one of the few who avoid the stores like a plague on Black Friday. There is no way I could get up super early in the morning and stand in long lines just to get disappointed when the item I wanted has already been sold out. I’d rather do my shopping online on Cyber Monday and get my great deals.

I’ve been getting emails from many places today letting me know about their sales. I just wish I had the money to take advantage of them. I’d really like to get a new computer since I killed the last two I had. *sigh*

Stayed away

Yesterday was black Friday and I never go anywhere near a mall on that day or even for a few days after. I just can’t deal with the crowds. I saw on the news a woman was being interviewed about the crowds in the mall and she said that being pushed and elbowed and stuff was all part of the holiday fun. The woman must be crazy or something. I don’t consider being pushed, shoved or elbowed fun.. in fact I consider that being very rude. I’d like to put price on that woman and run her across a barcode scanner a time or two since she thinks it’s fun to be pushed, shoved and elbowed.

I’ll either do my shopping online or wait until the crowds thin out some before doing Christmas shopping… if I can even afford to do any at all this year.
