Happy Black Friday! Have you bought your flatscreen TV today? *L*

So I did not intend to but I needed Zicam so I went to WalMart. But frist, right across da street is Kohl’s. I love Kohl’s. Its kind of a Mervyn-ish JC Penny-ish department store. I like the vibe in Kohls. It has that go “buy something” feeling. Not today though.

So I go into Kohl’s and OMG the checkout line winds all around to the back of the store. One side has 12 cashiers and it winds to the back. The other side has only 6 cashiers and its line winds to the back. The end of both lines was not that far apart. One of the managers was trying to get some people to go in the line that leads to the 12 cashiers instead of 6. We all know the line you think is the shortest, when you switch to it; its gonna take as long or longer then the line you was in. So whats the point?

Kohls did have some really great deals. The question was did I want to wait an hour in line to check out? NO. End of story. You gotta be in the mood and filled with patience to WAIT an hour, ok maybe 45 minutes to pay for stuff. You gotta really want it feel like I love it gotta have it can’t wait this is the one, I’m getting it; get outta my way, hurry up and wait. I did not have that feeling today.

I needed Zicam. Preventive medicine for a possible sore throat in the making. I noticed late yesterday afternoon that my throat feeling scratchy. More pumpkin pie with whipped cream didn’t cure it. Go figure. *L*

So I had to do a round at WalMart. Its very rare that I pull a “man thing” and just walk in get what I need and walk out. Since I’m there, I may as well checkout every other row of goods. People where hauling out TV’s and bikes.

I went to look at toys. Dang, I want one of those Hummer’s or Rock climbing remote control vehicles. Or a remote control PT Cruiser since I can’t afford a real one. MOMMY MOMMY its only $99.00! I neva got a $99.00 toy in my life, neither did my kids. I wonder how long I would play with one of those vehicles if I got one? How long would it last. I probably just keep it in its box, collector’s item. LOL Yeah right. There are some cool toys but you gotta have cool money.

So I read online there were a couple of brawls at WalMart in Florida and in Washington state. How lolo is that. I think thats bad juju if you going end fighting wen you suppose to be shopping. Fighting while shopping is so not zen. LOL

You’re supoose to be ONE with the shopping Gods.*L*

    My husband is the one who went shopping on Black Friday. Was cute cuz he brought out all the sale ads and mapped out his shopping trip for the day. He only went to Sears, Ace Hardware and the Navy Exchange. He said he timed it perfectly because the first two stores weren’t that crowded and by the time he got to the Exchange, it had calmed down.

    My daughter told me there was a fight at the local WalMart. People forget this is supposed to be the time for sharing and being kind to each other. So much for Christmas cheer.
