Black Friday

No one can say I didn't get any exercise today- I fought the war of Black Friday. When will I learn that this practice isn't for me. Don't get me wrong; I did not get to the stores at 5 or 6 am. I waited to about *ish". I did get all the shopping done that I was going to do + a little extra like getting dog food as long as I was in the same shopping center. But the best things was when I had to park way out and I found a Petsmart shopping cart not too far from where I parked, went to Barnes and Noble and and stashed the cart where it hopefully would still be waiting for me and then going to get the dog food, I confess though that I didn't take it all the way back when I got to the car. I actually didn't get totake it all the way to the car because I had to walk across a grass divider to get there. Perhaps another soul was grateful to find it. With Black Friday, you don't have to have had a stroke to be glad of a cart to lean on; "healthy" people get tired too.

 

Tomorrow is the art show in Melbourne, Florida. More exercise - but Sunday is really going to be my day of rest.

You are more brave than I am... We did do some shopping today, but not for Christmas. The store was out of the flooring last week we wanted for our kitchen and laundry room. It was in today and they honored the sale price. We stayed away from the Mall and the busy department stores.

 

Gld you are all done. Have fun tomorrow.

I've never, ever been shopping the day after Thanksgiving....usually had to work.

 

Phyllis, I couldn't shop if not for shopping carts to lean on, so I would have been one of those gratiful people. Thanks! :D

Yes, there is no way I would have been out shopping yesterday. It is just too crazy. You might want to check out a post under Black Friday in the boards. I worked retail lots of years and have some tips for shopping the holiday season in the stores. I think I will copy it over to my blog too.

 

Enjoy your day of rest and Happy Holidays!
