You can keep your $200 TVs. I’m staying in bed.
Thanksgiving is now behind us. And the Christmas season has officially begun. Although some people get a little confused about when that season truly does start. Those people put their lights on their house weeks before Thanksgiving. And they turn them on every night. That just irritates me to no end. It’s fine if you want to put the lights up while it’s still warm out. But DON’T TURN THEM ON. I’m so tired of Thanksgiving just being a forgotten holiday. Where’s the love for Thanksgiving people?
Wow. Rant much?
So anyway, today is Black Friday. The day when perfectly sane people get up at the buttcrack of dawn to battle each other in duels over children’s toys and electronics. My cousin works at Sears. He had to be at work by 4:30 this morning because they opened at 5am. FIVE IN THE MORNING! Why the hell are you shopping at five in the morning? It’s not bad enough people are trying to make sure they get a $900 laptop before Wal-Mart runs out. But then the stores keep opening earlier and earlier every year so completely sleep deprived people are packed in to stores like sardines, pushing people out of the way for a Webkinz. It’s amazing to me there aren’t more people spending the day in jail on Black Friday. I’m not a very pleasant person at 5am in the comfort of my own home. Put me in to a department store with 10,000 of my closest friends stepping on my toes and I’m pretty sure there would be some blood shed.
So in honor of Black Friday I slept until noon. And now I’m taking the kids to a movie, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, where I can stuff my face with stale popcorn and chip a tooth on rock hard candy. [Geez, for somebody who slept until noon I sure am a grump today.

I don’t shop on Black Friday, either. In fact, I come home on Wednesday from work and my car goes in the garage and I don’t leave the house again until Monday morning when I have to go to work. It sounds awful to some people, but not having to do ANYTHING for four days except eat is just magic for me. Okay, so I wore myself out cooking the big dinner yesterday for guests, and washing dishes after they were done, but I don’t mind that when everyone is having such a good time. Today I’ve piddled around, doing this and that, working on my novel, running the vacuum in the living room but only in the middle where it was messy, and eating leftovers reheated in the microwave. Oh, and I had a three-hour nap with my five year old. THAT’S living the day after T-Day.
No crazy shopping for me!

Tell him he had it good. Well not good, but perhaps a little better. My sister had to be at work at 3:45 because they (JCPenney) opened at FOUR that morning. Ridiculous. Stores keep this up, in ten years they’ll just be staying open overnight!
I never go. I can’t take the crowds as it is, let alone still in a turkey-induced coma and half asleep from less than eight hours of beauty sleep.
