Black Friday

So, in all the years that I’ve been living in the United States, today is the 1st Black Friday I have actually went out shopping. I absolutely hate crowds, lines, and honestly, no sale has ever tempted me enough to have me wake up at 2AM to go to a store. I mean, not even at 8AM! But today I went to a couple of stores with John and Donna (my mother-in-law) and the whole (dreaded) trip wasn’t that bad... Granted, we left home at 1PM (no waking up at ungodly hours to shop) and we only hit 3 stores, but we actually had a good time. We bought nothing at Pier 1, nothing at World Market and 350 dollars worth of bargains (!!) in Old Navy. How could I possibly resist $5 comfy pants? Not even when I bought 10 pairs worth…. :) The good news is that out of the 6 bags that I brought home, I’ll be returning 4. Phew!

All in all, I bought gifts for 2 people, plus lots of comfy stuff for myself. Best of it all, Black Friday will never be dreaded again!
