I have been asked more than once in the last few days about whether or not I am planning a Black Friday shopping trip. I confess that I have never gone shopping during hours when I normally sleep. Have I mentioned that I need a full 8 hours or I will turn into the world's largest cranky mama? The whole watching accidents happen outside the bedroom window incident this week has nearly wrecked me.
My dental hygienist actually admitted that she still goes shopping on Black Friday despite the fact that her grandma was trampled one year. As in, rushed to the hospital in an ambulance bleeding trampled. Yeah, still totally worth it according to her.
I guess I don't really get it. Maybe I'm irresponsible and don't understand what a great savings you can get by camping out all night at the store and fighting fellow shoppers for great buys. Maybe I don't really need anything that bad that I feel good about trampling grandmas.
Another friend seems to just like the thrill of it. Again, I don't know how thrilling it can be to wait in line for hours to save $50 on a laptop so I truly don't mean to judge. Perhaps I should try it. I guess I still enjoy the thrill of sleeping through the night after years of children ruining my slumber. It could take years for me to get over the beauty of a good night's sleep.
So I can't offer an opinion just yet. I might love it if I tried it, but I actually hate the idea of it. Does that count as a vote for "hate it"?

I think I will go during the Nebraska/Iowa game. I bet no one will be shopping then. Want to come?:)
