Sleeping in …

• Posted in General musings

It’s Black Friday. Where were you at 5 a.m.?

Me? I was at home in bed. And not one of the thousands of people who got up at the crack of dawn to go shopping.

I’ve never really understood the whole Black Friday thing. I like to shop as much as the next woman (okay, maybe more), but there’s nothing that I want or need bad enough to get out of bed at 4 a.m. No matter how on sale it is.

What about you? Do you get up at 4 a.m. to go shopping? Inquiring minds want to know …

    Ugh, I was in bed. Yesterday, my sister was detailing her plans to be ready to shop by 4am — I don’t know how we’re related. If I can, I stay as far away from any shopping mall, Target or Wal-Mart from Thanksgiving to New Year’s.

    It’s crazy and frightening out there.

    I know what you mean. I heard lots of people talking about all the stores they were going to hit — before 8 a.m.! That ain’t me, babe.

    I will admit that sometimes I stop at Wal-Mart on the way to work — around 7:30 in the morning. The store is almost completely deserted then. No lines, no waiting, no one in sight. It’s the best time to shop. 😉

    I never go shopping on Black Friday; I’m definitely more of a Cyber Monday kinda shopper, relying heavily on Amazon.com and other retail sites to buy gifts and have them delivered. Or I hit up Wal-Mart after work, around midnight or so.
