If I ever mention wanting to go to Walmart on Black Friday again, all of you have my permission to Smack me.

OMG the crowds. Got there at 10:30 last night. Left at 12:45. Did I go home? Oh hell no. Went to Best Buy. Didn't wait too long to get in. Found what I wanted pretty fast. Denied the upsell on the 'protection plan'. AND THEN WAITED WAITED TWO farkING HOURS IN LINE TO PAY FOR STUFF.

Got home about 4:00. So very tired and sore.

hug since SD, I don't do black Friday b&m sales at all at opening. The shred of sanity I have left would be long gone if I went out. People are crazy rude and I have zero tolerance for stupidity! I ordered a new above the stove micro yesterday from Lowes @ 44% off. Will pick it up and hopefully do a missed comp q sometime this next week.

My MIL has been in icu since weds on a vent. This has been her 5th or 6th trip to the hospital since Aug. Each and every time she is released (even with a cath bag) she refuses her meds and declares nothing is wrong with her. As many of you know she's refused treatment for diabetes for over 17 years. They said they must keep her sedated & restrained for several days to try and get her extremely low bp in check. My husband is not taking this well, but it has been (by her choice) a long slow drawn out process. she is definitely past the point of no return. Vision gone, hearing gone, purple feet, a horrible case of necratizing faciitis, the list goes on and on and on. Still she declares there is nothing wrong with her.

Apparenly my husband's family think they are in the running with AM's family as to who is the craziest. Delightful!

Arj- I am thankful for you because you have been a friend to me for a long time. You always have a recipe for me when I need it (Wink) You're always willing to pm or message me, you're fun to talk to, and I love to gossip with you like one of the girls. (Wait..is that a good thing, or a bad thing to you? Stick Out Tongue) You're also so good to your family and I really admire that about you. heart you, Arj.

Robert and I left his sister's at 9:30, dropped the boys off and headed to our WM...it was packed clear out to the restaurants in the parking lot edge. So, I asked if he wanted to go to the one across from the military base because I was told last year, no one was at that one. I guess everyone went to the bigger ones. Apparently everyone else got that memo, too. Annoyed Plus, where ours won't open the pallets until the sale starts time, the one we went to had them out and open at like 8, so the stuff I really wanted was gone. We got a few things, stood in line for about an hour, paid, left. Came home, slept 4 hours or so, got up went back out.

We went to Lowe's, JCPenney (got more stuff and paid less than WM!), Kmart, Sears, and back to OUR Walmart to see what was left and got some other stuff. No one was there by then. We ate breakfast and then went to Tractor Supply because they sell this old timey candy my grandfather loves. Came home. I collapsed. Robert stayed up so he could go to bed early because he has to be at work at 3.

Walmart is the only place I won't go on BF. Well there and Kohls. Just cause I hear such crazy stories, lol. I went out around Midnight and went to Toys R Us, Ulta (they were open at Midnight!), Old Navy (OMG line was about 2 hours long there), JC Pennys (line was about 1 1/2 hours there I think. I wanted to get more but they don't have carts or bags or anything and I didn't want to push around big boxes around the entire store and in the line) and then Kmart. Kmart was kind of underwhelming and I probably could have skipped it but I go every year and get the kids Joe Boxer Pajamas for Christmas Eve. I got home around 8:30 or so this morning. I got SO much awesome stuff at Toys R Us.

We don't have a TRU. The closest one is in Clarksville and I was told that C-ville was pure insanity so we didn't even risk it. I price matched a game at Walmart. laugh out loud I wanted a skateboard for Jack, but Kmart had them on sale too so I got one there. I was bummed I couldn't find a Phineus and Ferb one, though. I started to text you and have you check, but I figured you were busy enough. laugh out loud I got pajamas at WM. Lord, I hope he doesn't get another broken arm.

I was reading FB and the preacher at the church I grew up in put in his status that an extremely large woman tackled his wife for a video game (he mentioned this was a priceless moment laugh out loud). You have to understand his wife is TINY. He said she held on to that game. Someone asked what he was doing while this was going on. He said "Drinking a coke and enjoying the show." Roll

They only thing I bought today was dog food. And that was because feeders had Bears food on sale and I had coupons & its double stamp week!

I did go into walmart tonight. False illusions as you walk in and it doesn't look too bad Unsure Then you go toward electronics, people pushing their full carts in front of you then walking away to cut someone else off. agggh! get out of my way!
And there was these two women, who.. I don't know what their deal was. They were in those motorized carts going all over stopping in front of people blocking the aisle. And they kept yelling at each other across the store. scary people. So I got out of there fast.
Then we went to best buy and that place looked like a tornado hit it. With stacks and stacks of xbox's in the middle. I didn't see anything worth standing in along line for.

Well, you know I have those issues with my back and all..my first trip to WM, this woman kept jamming this cart into that really sore spot right above my rear end. I told Robert...I'm a nice person. I'm not one of THOSE BF shoppers...but I was getting ready to punch that bitch in the eye. I know she was doing it on purpose.

I wouldn't blame you. I try to get out of peoples way. Even if they are the one blocking me, I just try go around them.
I don't like being to close to anyone anyhow. So I bail if the aisle gets too crowded. But these people who purposely stop, like they don't want to be able to see whatever it is they just saw. Bomb I would be ready to punch them too.
