Crazy Friday!!


For the past few years my cousin Sunnee and my sister in law Jana and I have braved the day after Thanksgiving sale at Walmart! I'm not sure what came over us that first year to even try it but we did... and now we're hooked! It is so crazy fun! We go about midnight to scope things out and to figure out what we want. We laugh our butts off at the weirdos, including ourselves, we make new friends (some of which we run into year after year!) We drink our diet coke, eat, laugh and have a good time! The past fews years we have had some others join us but they never return? We must be crazy is all I can think! My cute cousin Allie has been the last 2 years and I think she likes it (she may disagree) but she keeps coming back for more! This year we talked Netso, Sky and Kelsi, Sky's friend, into coming and i'm pretty sure they won't be returing anytime soon!! We put them on Cabbage Patch dolls. They literally had to crawl to escape the madness! My station (if you don't know what a 'station' is you don't know what black friday is..) was the $35 7 piece comforter sets! How cute are they?? Jana went for Kitchen Aids, and Sunnee went for Nintendo DS. Yes it's true, I only had one thing to get, well 3 comforter sets but only one stop, and you would DIE at what I brought home! We had 11 different people at 11 different 'stations' helping get everything we needed. A couple we didn't even know, but somehow everyone is friends, until 'GO' time that is, then it's every man for themself! We tried to sneak a few items before opening but man those workers take their jobs serious! We got caught 3 times by the same kid, luckily we didn't get kicked out!! We even had it planned out to get to the front of the line and I was back home in bed by 5:30am!! Sunnee saw some workers actually crying because they got ran over by carts! Ha ha how sad!! For those of you who missed it this year you have 364 days to get ready for next year! It takes strategic planning so we are working on a spreadsheet for next year, thanks to Chase! We did get EVERYTHING we needed and MORE!! Good times! Ha Ha!!

Ya, I probably wont be returning in the future, you look around at all these CRAZY people and then you walk by the dressing room mirror and realize you are one of....THEM!!! And as for Skylee and Kelsie, if their therapy goes well they may brave it again you never know, They are young and tend to not remember things as much!!! But I have to say your bedding is darling! and I hope it gets good use when you get a good nights sleep tonight!! Love ya.

Sounds like you're my kinda gals! Me and my mom do the same thing every year, unfortunately I was overtaken by the strep this year and my whole day was ruined. I really don't know how I'll get through missing it. Cute comforter set!

I'm glad that your trip to Walmart was a success. Mine however was not. I guess I'm not as die hard as you. I may need to get some tips for a more strategic plan next year (:
