f/u Black Friday
Girls... I thought I was going to hate it but now I feel CRAZY good! I'm on a serious natural high right now. Though, I feel bad for the boy...
We only had one goal- Old Navy to get the free Kinect Dance game. Cody won an Xbox 360/Kinect bundle from Burger King a few weeks ago so we really wanted the game. We got to the mall around10 (it opened at midnight) and noticed a bit of a line forming so we got out of the car and stood in the line. Within minutes there were HUNDREDS of people behind us! It was crazy how quickly people piled in behind us.
It WAS crazy. There ended up being a huge mad dash when they finally opened the doors (mostly due to the jerkface mall guy who thought he could actually make an announcement to everyone waiting in line without a microphone before he'd open the door... idiot). But somehow my slow butt self in flip flops managed to be faster than everyone else in line and I dashed 100 yards through the mall and got to the Old Navy line first. No clue how I managed that but I guess I can run when I really want to. I beat out Cody by about 45 seconds even! Of course... he thought he knew where Old Navy was and instead of listening to me went the way he thought it was and ended up having to turn around and run back. Men. 
Long story short, Cody and I both got the winter jackets we'll need when we move to Chico, I got a pair of boots, and thanks to his Mom coming with us we got 3 copies of Kinect Dance!!!
But, after 5 cups of coffee, Thanksgiving dinner, and a 200 yard dash poor Cody got a little bit sick and ended up puking when we got outside the mall. I feel so bad for him!!! But seriously, if he'd just listened to me he wouldn't have had to run so far. So, we probably won't do Black Friday ever again! It was worth it to get the free $50 games, but otherwise not. But I'm happy to now be able to say I did it once and I am on a crazy adrenaline high! It's awesome!!!
Re: f/u Black Friday
Thats great that you got 3 of them!
We went out but didn't get any high ticket items, just some odds and ends we wanted that were cheap. It was fun though. I have to say though, I didn't get very many Christmas presents, it was mostly for us
