Okay, so the truth is, that I didn't wake until 11:30 a.m. today. I slept in and did not get up with the crazies to shop at the crack of dawn...or pre-dawn, should I say. Why? Well, with the medical bills piling up, and disability only paying 2/3rds, I really didn't have but $50 to spend today. And $50 is absolutely not enough to get up at 4:30 a.m.
I did finally brave the stores around 3:30 this afternoon, but steered clear of the mall. My mom picked me up and we went to the local shopping plaza. Mom chipped in a little and helped me get some shopping done. I didn't get much, but it felt good to get even a little accomplished.
So now that I fessed up to my lack of participation in the day I look forward to each year...you can fess up too? Did you get up at 4:00a.m.? Did you shop at all?Labels: Black Friday, shopping |
Well, you already know this, but I'll fess up to the rest of the blogging community. I did NOT go shopping at all on Black Friday...or today. It was truly the most depressing Black Friday ever since I didn't get my Christmas bonus in time to shop with it...
