Thanksgiving was at Mom and Dad's - had turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a ton of sides my mom made. She also made 3 different kinds of pie. All the food was delicious. We had fun playing Life. That night we went to see The Blind Side. I had read the book, and the movie was super. I am not sure I would be as brave as that family, but I am sure the family felt they had been given more than the child they were helping. How rewarding the whole situation must be.
Friday morning I was up and out of the house by 4:15 and made it to Target, where the long line had already started. I did get the bag they were giving away, and all the items on my list. Target is very organized and was ready for the crowds. All my questions were answered by the employees and check out was quick. They did a great job with the Friday morning rush.
Then I went to Younkers, where as I was leaving the security alarm went off. The guy at the door told me to step aside, I showed him my receipts, and he said he would let me go since it was Black Friday. I was upset - I had just spent all this money and then I get pulled aside because someone did not deactivate a security device. That has happened to me there so many times. I think I am done spending my money there. It gets really old.
Next I went to Michaels and Ulta, bought a few items, no huge crowds.
Stopped by the house to wait for Borsheim's to open. Got there early, was one of the first one's through the outside door, and they were not ready for the rush. Once I was helped, they were very nice, but there mode of selling does not bode well for crowds. But I did get my items I wanted. Did a little more shopping, then back home to recuperate.
Went to Canfield's on Saturday, and to Joann's and Mangelson's. Joann's was so busy did not want to get in line to buy anything. Watched some of the Nebraska game. Went to Red Lobster Saturday night.
On Sunday worked on my corncob snowman ornaments and watched some of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame concert.
