Black Friday

The Friday after Thanksgiving is perhaps the biggest shopping day of the year. Some people don't leave their house because the stores are crowded and the roads are jammed. I for one love the day. There is such excitement in the air. I get my first taste of the spirit of Christmas. Of course there are long lines, you say. You know it never bothered me. I am a daydreamer by nature. So, I can while away the time thinking about other thoughts. What cookies should Mom and I make this year? What am I going to buy my grandma? Always a dilemma because she doesn't want anything. The ideas I come up with, I feel like are the same ideas I have every year. Who wants to be predictable? I think about how am I going to get everything done. I always do, but waiting in lines is a chance to mentally organize myself. Unless the line is outrageous. One Black Friday, Jimmy, my grandma and I got up at some ungodly hour to go out shopping. We went to one of the local malls, then Best Buy and then another mall. So we make it to Best Buy. There were so many people I couldn't see straight. I think the line went around the store three times. It was incredible. We left and went out for breakfast. Lines, thousands of people and eating out for breakfast ~ it doesn't get any better :)
