Uh, Never Again

Well, the day after Thanksgiving I decided I would go shopping.

At 5:00 am.

Really.

So, I got myself ready and headed out to Target.  I got to the parking lot around 4:50.  There wasn’t a spot to be had in Target’s lot, so I parked in the lot next door.  I got in line to enter the store.

The end of the line was around the building at the loading docks.

Really.

I got inside and there weren’t any carts left.

Really.

I dragged my but back to a very large air hockey table that was on sale for fifty bucks.  (This was the gift I told my folks that the kids would like – and they will).  I grabbed the table, and, without a cart, dragged it through the store.  I offered one guy ten bucks for his cart.

Really.

I still didn’t get it…he had something large to get.

So, I propped up my air hockey table and headed to the front of the store to stalk people for a cart.  I finally got one.  I tried to do some more shopping.  I had the best of intentions.  I was going to get all the shopping done.

HA!

I waited in line at the electronics counter (because I needed an iPod Touch) for over an hour to pay for all of my crap.  I did save ten percent because I opened a Target charge, and got 25 bucks in gift cards back.

I left the house at 4:30 and got back at 7:45.  And I just went to one store.

Really.

Have a great day!
