Black Friday

I usually avoid the malls like the plague on Black Friday, but not this year! The need of a new computer had me searching those newspaper adds like a fool.  I debated all night if I would trek out into the early morning hours and fight my way through the crowds to get those terrific black Friday bargains.  The lure of saving over $250 on the computer I wanted won over.  I made my plan of attack and had my husband set the alarm, I can't seem to ever set that thing right.
 So, I was up at 5:30 and dressed and ready to go. I was thankful that Office Max, who had that Acer computer I wanted, didn't open till 7:00!  My hubby who hates to shop decided to come along too, I  think he's a closet shopper and doesn't know it.
When we got to the shopping plaza it was packed and loaded with hundreds of cars. It was dark and we could see people lined up outside of the store and being the good hubby he is he dropped me off and went and parked the car!  I've never waited in line with hordes of people for a store to open and even though it was blistery, blustery cold it was fun.  OK, so were only out there 15 minutes waiting!
We waited with anticipation, would I get that computer!  Then the doors opened, the crowd rushed in, and I went straight for the computers, along with everyone else.  I got it!  I got it!  What an adrenalin rush., I actually got the computer.  My hubby got the other things on the list and we were in and out in 30 minutes.  It was so much fun we decided to hit up 5 more stores before we went out to breakfast.
Will I do it again next year?  I hope I can but at least for now I can now cross this event off of my bucket list!  I did it!
