So as I battled the chaos we all know as Walmart yesterday a friend reminded me that I had not blogged for a while, so this is for you Paige. Not much new going on here. Chris has been working a lot extra the past few days so I havent seen him much. The girls are bugging us to get lights on the house and we havent done it yet. Oh and I did battle black friday and we came up with some rules:
1. Do not buy the things that are not on sale. They will be there tomorrow and there is no reason to stand in long lines for stuff like that.
2. Do not get a cart unless your purchase calls for it. They are too big to maneuver and in large crowds you end up with a traffic jam situation.
3. Decide who will be the place holder upon entering the store. Put that person in line and then go get what you need and bring it to them. Warn the other shoppers around you that you are merely a placeholder and others will be bringing their stuff to you. People are usually cool with you doing this.
4. Cut the weak link from the herd. If you give people fair warning about where you are in the line progression and they do not make it back by the time you are at checkout....leave them. They need to just fend for themselves. Brutal I know.
5. For the love, if you have a cart take it with you. Do not leave it in the middle of an aisle. Nothing drives me more crazy then people who detach from the cart for a side conversation thus causing a traffic jam. Costco shoppers are notorious for this.
6. If you are not sure if you want to buy the on sale item, get it anyway and bring it back if you change your mind. At least you will have gotten it at the sale price if you decide to keep it.
I think I had one more, but have since forgotten it. We always end our day with lunch at the OG and a movie. This year we saw 4 Christmases and it was really funny. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, God bless you and your family.
