Pushing and Shoving and Sales Oh MY - Black Friday

Who would want to go out on Black Friday??? Not me! I got talked in to going out on Black Friday - Why you ask? I have no idea. I told you before that I don't like to spend money, and there is nothing much that I need, so why would I do such a thing? My brother, that's why. My brother got this hairbrained idea that he wanted my mom to take him out early on Black Friday. We don't like to shop when it is necessary, or when we want something, why now? He thought it would be an adventure. An adventure? It was. We have a friend that is a girl, that we have been friends with since I was 4 years old, so she calls herself our sister, and she decided that she wanted to go out on this Black Friday adventure too. She is a tiny thing, not even 5 foot tall, so I thought I should go with them? Protector? Studpid? Of course we did not go to bed until late or early, depending on who you are talking to. My brother got up at 4 am ready and raring to go. So we got up and out the door, our destination? Walmart. The traffic was horrible, the parking lot was mass chaos, and we haven't even parked the car yet. Getting in the door was not so bad, but then the obstacle course started. Where did all of these people come from? Where did they get all of the money for all the stuff in their buggies? Where did the lines start and stop? Where to go first? Electronics of course, the most crowded area of the store. By this time all of the TV's were gone, the one thing my mom wanted, we should leave. No! Ashley spotted the sale movies, and the craziness swallowed her up. In a matter of minutes, she had a stack of movies. I got in line for a game I wanted, and then had to get the Best Buy ad to price shop, but I did get a good buy, now I am ready to leave. Leave? No chance, we have to get in line to pay for the movies. We stand in line for 2 hours to pay for her movies. $115.00 worth of $5.00 movies, she will have a lot of TV time in her future. She is happy she came, she got a lot of movies for not a lot of money and 3 Christmas gift bought too. Guess what happened next? We had to stand in line for another 20 minutes to get our ticket scanned and marked to get out of the store. Where to next? Best Buy! Not a whole lot there, some movies and a deal on I tune cards, although we did get a good deal on a Digital Picture Frame. By now we are starving, here we come McDonalds. After we got some food for nourishment, we head off to the mall. We about got sideswiped, had to park at the back of beyond, but we made it to Aeropostle. You would not have believed the line in there, it was as bad as Best Buy, I went off and left them to walk in the mall. I did go buy a couple of Video games and a book. We are all tired and are ready to leave, and my brother gets another brilliant idea - let's go to the movie - he will pay. This is another miracle, but he did get a movie gift card for his birthday, and he loves movies, and has not been for a few weeks, but Twilight?? I am thinking, what the heck, at least I can sit down for a couple of hours. It was a couple of hours I will never get back, but he enjoyed it. Now to eat and go home. I took my food to go, got home, ate it and decided I would lay down for a few minutes to get rid of this Black Friday headache I had gotten. I woke up at 12:30 am, just as everyone else was on their way to bed. I think next year, I will find my adventure by staying in bed.
