I probably won't be able to get any bargains anyway, but can someone tell me what Black Friday is?

It is also the day that generally the business owner comes into the "black" after being in the "red" profitwise in their books all year. It has become a very big shopping day. People get up at 5am or whenever the shops open and just mob the stores. That is why I will just not go out that day. Too many past years of working retail and in restaurants. I will just stay and play on the DIS boards

I will not be here that day - I will be shopping from 5 am until the stores close and since Meijer and Wal_mart never close...

How is a girl ever supposed to get her master's degree with all the pages she has to catch up on each day?!? Seriously, you all crack me up! I'm supposed to be writing my term paper for my reference librarian class, and it's dull and boring. However, you all have been so chatty, and hilarious that I can't seem to settle down to my work. If I don't get my Master's, can I blame it on T-shirts???????

Anyway, congrats to all the tagees. They look good. My dearest hope is that one day, I, too, will be spotted by the Tag Fairy and will have a tag I can call my own. However, I'm just not funny or clever, so I'll just have to enjoy reading all of yours.

By the way, I'm approaching the 2nd week after surgery, and I'm now officially 1/5 of the way to my goal weight. 21 pounds lost and more to come! The only down side, is that I had to give up my Diet Coke forever. Please don't banish me, Queen Kate! I can't have carbonation anymore! That makes me so sad. You don't know how addicted to Diet Coke with Lime I was. Now it's just water and Crystal Light for me. Who knew that a person could get so sick of water?

Well, back to the paper. I only have a few more days to finish it, so wish me luck. I can only work when the twins are napping and the other 2 are quiet, so you can imagine how often I get to work on it!

I can't believe it! I got tagged! WOO HOO!!!!!!!! I can't believe I'm so excited. DH thinks I'm crazy, but it really turned my mood right around. Thank you Tag Fairy. You're the greatest!!!!!!!!!

[disney newbie]

AAAHHHHH! Thanks Glynis for talking about your masters. My last class is Tuesday and I forgot I have to turn in a portfolio of homework. I better get busy!!!! I still have 5 assignments to do.

 

[geetey]

Oh Denise! I am so sorry the kids all need to have surgery. My ds needed tubes. I hope this set takes care of things!

Mac - I hope your wife feels better as those meds start kicking in. Mya is going to have a blast at Wilderness Lodge!

I'm sure I'll be in line somewhere well before 5 am to make sure to cash in on the big early bird specials. The question is will it be Best Buy for a computer, Staples or Walmart? So many decisions....

I guess I need to read all the posts before I respond. But at times the posts happen so fast I can't get to the end before I feel the need to post.

I guess maybe it would help my reading if I got hyped up on diet coke, but I don't like the stuff give me a wild cherry pepsi. Actually the diet coke would be a bad idea because it would prolly give me a head ache.

You would not believe the lines of people here on Black Friday! DH is a cameraman for a local news station, and by the time he gets all him gear set up at 5:00 a.m. on Black Friday at the local Walmart, there has already been a line since about 3:00. I just don't get it! I HATE shopping in crowds. I really enjoy shopping from my computer.

I LIVE for Black Friday! I feel sorry for those that DO have to work, but I have been there in the past too. I get SO much of my shopping done.

Talk about your COMMANDO TOURING! My plan for that day is like MacArthur!!! LOL I go - so does Mom. (DH stays home). My aunt goes, my 18yo nephew (been doign it for 5 years!). My cousin.

Basically, I plan it all. We all make our lists -- they give them to me. I break up the lists by store. Then I assign the stores everyone goes to. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun the THRILL of it all is to me!

Dh is SO excited to be goign this year. Mom wants to stay home -- and she'll be with our son. Black Friday is NO place for children! LOL

Last year I was one of the crazies who get up bright and early and I might do the same thing this year. However this year I must be at work at 7:30am so that I can work on black Friday. Last year I ended up getting about $250 worth of stuff free after rebates at Staples and Office Max. I only ended up spending the stamp costs. Got loads of good stuff for nothing.

Hundreds of free burnable cd's, a laminator, two storage thumb drives for computers and loads more for nothing but a stamp. I also bought two $120 a piece office chairs and ended getting them for $20 a piece after rebate.
