The Day After

turkey day, known as Black Friday here in the States.  Lots of crazy shopping.  It officially started last evening at Target and Walmart.  I guess people started lining up at 4:30pm for an 9pm opening.  There must have been some good deals out there somewhere, but we didn't bite.  We waited until this morning and headed out with Kirsten for the 5am opening at Home Depot. 
Kirsten was after a $175 Christmas tree for $60.  There was a line up when we got there.  The employees were serving up coffee and doughnuts.  People were very orderly and polite.  And Kirsten got her tree.  And we were out of there before 5:30, with no crazy line up at the check out.
Next, we headed to Staples on the other side of town for a few goodies Curtis wanted.  There was very few people there and the items we wanted were still available.
Our last stop was Herbergers where we got a few door busters.  Curtis got new slippers, we got next years winter coat for Nic for $17.97 and a couple of other goodies. 
We dropped Kirsten off home and Curtis and I headed to Denny's for breakfast.  It was a gorgeous sunrise when we were driving back down the hill to home.
Curtis headed back to bed and I had a relaxing bath. 
After lunch, Kirsten wanted to head to JoAnn fabrics, as their flannel was 75% off.  She wants Cait to make her a car seat cover for the new baby.  She found some cute non gender fabric and for what she needed cost her around $5.  Very good deal!!!!
We came back here and worked on a jigsaw puzzle for a while. 


Busy day!!!!!  Glad it only comes once a year.

I was at Staples too. It was very quiet and well run. Then off to Big Bear and JoAnn's. Marilynn got a new sewing machine.
