I don't know what I was thinking this morning. I decided to be part of the black Friday shopping madness. I thought I wouldn't be there right when the stores open but I would arrive like 30 minutes later and the crowds would be less. Well, I was totally wrong. I got there and the doors were open. There were no carts. The lines to checkout were amazingly long. I grabbed one of those small baskets and started doing some shopping. I didn't get far before I realized I was nuts. I put everything back and got the hell out of the store. I came right home and decided to buy most of my big ticket items online. I was trying to avoid the shipping costs but with the money I'd spend in gas going to the stores, I could afford the shipping.

I must have been crazy to think the crowds wouldn't be very bad this morning. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't think I'll ever attempt that again. It's crazy!

On another note, you may have noticed things have changed a bit on the blog. I decided that since tomorrow is my 4 year blogoversary I would change things up a bit. I've always wanted a picture in my header so I worked on creating that. I decided to get rid of the other pages and just keep this a blog for the time being. I might add the pages back in the future but right now I want this to be a blog. Also, I wanted to be able to change the theme with the seasons so for now we are in the fall theme. When I have winter break from work, I'll change it to a winter theme. I hope you like the changes!
