Confession

I LOVE Black Friday!!! There is something extremely awesome about waking up at 3:00 to go shopping with about 3,000 of my closest friends that gets me so excited every year, (even stayed overnight once). I get to give the kids to the husband (honestly they usually sleep through the whole thing) and walk away to shop, shop, shop. I really am not a huge shopper normally but this day just seems so great to do it. I love standing in line with people laughing about how crazy it is that we are standing in line at 3:00 a.m. for some stupid toys that our kids will forget 2 days after Christmas. I love comparing notes with my fellow line waiters and discussing the best deals comparing wish lists. Sometimes we even become co-conspirators "Hey if you see the camera before I do will you grab one for me? I will make sure to get the DVD player for you!" (The worst thing is to get in line behind a dud though, that happened to me once or twice BORING, now I make sure and bring friends with me). I have recruited a few people to this way of shopping and that makes it even better because I get to talk about it for weeks before the day. Last year I got to go with my SIL's in Colorado and it was a blast,although I must say it was a lot colder for line waiting. The best part was we were done by I think 8:00 a.m. and then we all went out to breakfast and got to visit and hang out. It is kind of a girls night out in reverse! Such a fun time, and such great memories. I am SO EXCITED for this year!!!! Any others out there?
