Black Friday is over

This is worth jumping about - Black Friday is over. In case you live under a rock, Black Friday is what the shopping day after Thanksgiving has been called for several years now. It's where the merchants can get into the black for selling so much stuff and I believe it is such a dismal shopping event, that it's like the black day the market fell.

Anyway, here's our story. We see a couple of great buys, so we decide to go early and get back home quick as I have a 10 am client meeting. We should have known better!!

We get to the store at 6:45, make our select and are in line by 7 am - hey this is easy! The things we wanted were there, we didn't have to be there at 5 am, what's the big deal!!

We stood in line from 7 to 11 am - 4 hours! I even left for an hour to meet with the client and returned and Cindy was still in line.

Good thing - the couple (Mom and teenage son) in front of us were a real neat family - we're meeting next year - same place, same time for a reunion. Good idea?
