BLACK FRIDAY

11:30 PM Nov. 22nd I picked up Cat and began what quite possibly could of been the longest day of my life... We stayed up all night watching random stuff on TV so we could head out at 3:30 AM and go shopping. Kohls opened at 4 so we figured we'd get in line around 3:45....and as you can see the line was already backed up around the building and almost to Old Country Buffet. When the doors finally opened some little turds decided that it was ok to wait in their cars then jump in the front of the line when the doors opened.....this pissed me off. The rush inside Kohls was CRAZY! people running everywhere taking stuff...yeah.....so Cat got a pair of shoes and I got stuff for my Mom and Sister all within about 7 minutes.....then....we got in the checkout line....holy crap....the line was really long extending almost past the shoe department. Once we finally got checked out I looked at my watch...4:15 AM....yeah pretty amazing I know lol.

Well then we hit another issue...since we'd gotten through Kohls so quickly...nothing else was opened...CRAP....so we went over to the Best Buy line where our friend Nick had been waiting since about midnight ...(now that's crazy...even for us)... So we talked to him for a bit then we headed over to the other place we wanted to go....Target....which didn't open untill 6 AM.

So Cat and I drove over to the Target parking lot around 4:30 where the line had already been forming. We cranked up the heat and started singing random songs (moastly broadway) about 100 songs later it was 5:40 AM and we decided to get in line...which at this time was already almost backed up to the movie theater. Luckly Target was a little more organized, they weren't letting anyone in unless they were in the line. Once we got in Target it was just as crazy as Kohls if not worse...we headed straight back to electronics where Cat bought a didgital camera, after that we just kind of walked around the store a bit, I got House, Will & Grace, and Nip/Tuck for about $15 each.

After Target we headed out into the mall to see what else we could find. We stopped at a photo booth and got our pictures taken (something we've been wanting to do since about 6th grade) Then we went to Toys R' Us so Cat could buy something for her little brother and sister, but the line to checkout was weaving all the way around the store so we decided to leave and move on to MC's where I bought stuff for my dad and Cat bought a shirt. Then we went to Bath & Body Works for about 4 seconds and headed over to Best Buy to find Nick. at 8AM we finally left and went to the B z B for breakfast....which I don't remember too well because I wasn't relly consious.

Once I dropped Cat and Nick off at home I layed down and went to sleep for about an hour....then I had to go to Jonesville to see my Great Grandma...fantastic...the only good thing about that was I got to ride with my Uncle Brian in his Semi Truck...that was a lot of fun.

When I FINALLY got home around 3:30PM (it felt like midnight) I went to sleep and woke up 18 hours later.

Black Friday was a ton of fun and I'll probably go again next year...maybe...if I ever recover from this year...
