Twenty-five days and counting. I am going to try to find my little calendar that counts down the days. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Hey, that would be a good song title, wouldn't it? Or lyric, but I think someone beat me to it. My first Black Friday, my daughter talked me into going with her. I always dreaded the crowds, and the the terrible tales about the rudeness of shoppers almost made me not go again. But there I was right in the midst of it. We had elected to shop in the smaller shopping center with a Walmart instead of the super Walmart nearby. I heard later that it was hectic there but surprisingly, the ones we encountered were very nice and polite. I got quite a bit of my shopping done, and enjoyed a nice lunch with my daughter. Believe me, I did not have to be rocked to sleep that night. The snow is softly falling outside, and I think it is too wet to accumulate, but I may wake up to a winter wonderland tomorrow. Right now, I think I will enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate and snuggle in to read a while.

I've get to do a 'Black' Friday. I'm glad you had a good time. My daughter and I take a special day in February to catch the President's Day sales and I always enjoy that. 'On Ya'-ma
Thanks for stopping by the Shipslog. Good entry. I and my girl are not much for shopping. I son't mind spending money, but she does. Good entry. Since we travel the gifts are cards with money. No shopping for gifts, that is sort of a relief.
Nah, Sherry is a NC gal. The one joke was NC girl I changed it to Kentuck because of friend s who read are Kaintuckeins!
YEAH the count down begins!

I like to shop if it is Black Friday or Blue Monday. I shop like I am on a mission from God.
You are right people are rude.
I pick the places where I shop.
This is a different world that we
grew up in. I am Jack's sister
and very new on this computer
but I am learniing.

Black Friday is tough but someone has to tackle it. I did and returned home unharmed. Take care and enjoy your day,

Wow, you survived Black Friday! I'm impressed!
Hugs, Beth
Glad to see you survived the shopping experience. I don't do that-Ever!
I'm a bit behind on getting things done, so the countdown feels more like deadline pressure to me, right now!
Enjoy your snow! We've had over 22 inches so far this year! :(
