Midnight madness...

Because we all take stimulating the economy so seriously we were willing to skip sleep to help out...
After eating all our Thanksgiving meals we met up at my house for midnight madness. When we arrived at the outlets it was packed. We actually had to to take another exit to avoid the hour traffic jam. It was a blast.
At the last store (around 4am) we were shocked to walk out to see huge snow flakes sticking the road. The outlet center we were at is nestled up in the mountains so this unexpected weather made the drive home scary. About half way down the mountain it turned to rain, whew. We then went to still another mall. We arrived home around 6:30am. I thought I would just collapse into bed not so... I could not fall asleep. I ended up getting up again and not going to sleep till 2pm that afternoon. I think my diet coke at 3am really affected me.






It was a great time. Can't wait till next year.

I think the only way I could partake of Black Friday is if I made it a fun night out with the girls. I can't keep my eyes open past 11pm. Looks like you all had a ball!

Jessica said...

Yes I too am a crazy shopping girl. My Mom, SIL, and I got up at 3 am and were shopping by 4 am. It's a tradition, and so much fun!! Glad to see you get out with the girls often.

That is something I don't think I will ever be able to get into! I just love my sleep too much to save a few dollars! (OK, I am sure you saved more than a few dollars) Glad you had fun, though.

I think I would love black friday more if I went with girlfriends like yourself. But I went alone, as I went alone to Twilight, and well I guess I do most stuff alone nowadays....

You have been busy but sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving and I love all your pictures!
