Shopping Fun

Well, I decided to brave the local Wal Mart for a gift for Sarah. There was an $80 difference between the everyday price and the Black Friday price so I figured it would be worth it. I got up at 4:15 and went straight to the store and headed for my line. Items in this particular department had to be paid for on the spot, so when the madness began and people began to scurry all over the store, our line remained quite still. During the wait, people were continually asking, if there were any items left, to which the customer service rep would answer, yes they have plenty. No one ever asked about my particular brand of item though. After an hour and a half of waiting, I got to the front and was asked what I wanted. When I told them, they said that the item I wanted was going for the everyday price and that they were all out. Nevermind that I had been there just yesterday asking that department about the current price and the black friday price. So, I got a great deal on some goldfish crackers and went home.

On the bright side, no one in my family is vomiting and no one is dying in my spare bedroom.

Brandon and Heidi, thanks for making this holiday season more tolerable.
