I had promised myself that I would never attempt going out to shop on Black Friday (and that didn't take too much persuasion), because nothing is worth it. I am pretty sure the only person that could talk me in to going is Josh and he did this year.
Our game plan:
Alarm set for: 3:15 am
Call Michael to wake up: 3:35 am
Leave: 3:40 am
Sears: 4:00 am
Sports Authority: 5:00 am
Home Depot: 6:00 am
Sleep: after
That did not happen....
Michael ended up texting Josh at 1 am because he didn't feel good so he wasn't going to come. At that point Josh put his phone down somewhere in the bed. So when he alarm went off at 3:15 am he just turned it off and went back to sleep. Somehow we both woke up for some reason and I said "Did the alarm already go off? because I kinda remember it going off." Josh looked at his phone and it was 5:22 am. So we got ready and took off to Home Depot (since it opened at 6 and it had the most important idem of the day), when we got there, there was a line but not a very big one, we stood in line for like 15 minutes until they opened the doors, and the craziness started. Once we got inside all the workers were yelling "Shop-vacs straight back" (thats the reason we were there and obviously everyone else was, but a $100 shop-vac for $20 is a pretty good deal) so everyone was racing for the pile of shop-vac, someone even climbed on top of all the displays in the middle and crawled to get there. I did a little pushing to get there but I got one and Josh got one (we got one for Michael). Right after we grabbed ours they were all gone. Some guy grabbed 6. I was even brave enough to go get a cart all by myself (even though it was so crazy) and wait in line by myself, while Josh grabbed a few more things. I was very proud of myself!
Once we got to Sports Authority there were very many people there and what Josh wanted was still there, so we got in and out of there quick. Sears on the other hand was still packed and stinky , and nothing we went for was there.
We got home at 7:30 and Josh tucked me back in bed and he left to get my Christmas presents! Yay! I don't know where he went but he said they were still way crazy.
I still don't like Black Friday, but I feel like we had a pretty successful one!
