Yes, I am one of those crazy women that get up insanely early to go wait in lines to get good deals. My in-laws introduced me into this tradition when I joined the family and I have gone every year since! Even when I don't really have anything I need or want to get :) I didn't go 2 years ago due to the fact that I didn't want my water to break or get hurt while 9 months pregnant in the madness at Wal-mart. I do think it's so sad to hear stories about crazed people that hurt others trying to get the good deals!! My in-laws will tell all sorts of stories about the other side of me that comes out during black friday. I don't get violent or anything, but I get in there and get what I want. This year was suprisingly calm. We started at 5am at Sports Authority to get some adjustable weights Adam has been really wanting and it was so relaxed, it felt unnatural :) We always make a girl's day out of it and hit all the stores and do breakfast and then a movie. This year we saw Four Christmases. It was HILARIOUS!! Beckie was crying at the end she was laughing so hard.
Then crazy me got up again this morning, at 7am though which wasn't bad, and proceeded to Big Lots to get a tool bench for Landon. I was first in line :) It was funny because I show up and there are 6 or 7 cars just waiting in the parking lot and not lined up yet in front of the doors. I came prepared with a blanket and book and dressed really warm. So, I just get out of my car and go sit in front of the door. It was funny to see how quickly the others emerged from the warmth of their cars :)

Hey Jeana,
My sister and my mom went shopping. They said it was pretty crazy! I usually go but had to work this year.
I was going to ask you... Did the Harry Potter movie get pushed back to July??? That is what I heard. Just wondering if you knew.

So you are one of the crazies that ventures out, throwing elbows and all sorts of crazy stuff to get a good deal? Love it! I am not a Black Friday person. I would end up in jail. I would become way to violent if someone shoved me or got in my face. My sister in laws all love it though.
Good job getting what you wanted! I am jealous that you only had to wake up at 7 to do it!
Thanks for your cute comments on my blog! Thanks for telling me what the neighbors are planning to do to my little pup...Jerks! Anyway, very cute blog, I am so happy you found me!
You are a crazy person like me that goes every year! It is so true...when one person gets in line everyone runs out of their cars. I am glad that you were able to get some good deals!
i am a crazy person too! we woke up at 3am to head to the walmart in payson.(its the closest to my moms house) it was nuts!!! we go there about 4:20 prepared to stay outside in the cold....oh no they let people in the store! all the good deals were already in peoples carts before 5 (when they were suppost to open)oh well it was still fun... we shopped till about noon and got other great deals at other stores. i cant wait till next year!
