Long Thanksgiving Weekend

Every year since we have been married (and one year before), we have done two Thanksgivings. We have lunch, at 1:00 or so at my parents house, then we take a nap, watch a movie and then go over to John's parents house for dinner around 6:30. After dinner we usually watch a movie or play videogames and then about an hour later we eat pie. By this time I am so full I don't think I will be able to eat anything else ever again...and I stay full for the rest of the weekend :) We are both very fortunate to be able to be with both of our families for the holidays.
On Black Friday we woke up at 4:30 and got ready to go shopping...until about 8:00 in the morning :) This year we went to Best Buy at 5:00 in the morning (We were looking for something that we saw in the ad that was 1/2 off), when we found the item that we were looking for it wasn't really what we thought it was so we picked something else...which was not on sale. We got in line to pay for our item that was not on sale and while we were in line we saw the itouch (it's what I want for Christmas), and so got that too...again not on sale. Ok so now we are done with Best Buy so we head over to Kohl's to get another Christmas present for someone. We get there and get the item and head up to the register, but of course the line is wrapped around the whole store...so we say nevermind and we put the $12 item back on the shelf and leave. Now it's time to meet up with my mom and Ivan at Office Depot (they waited in line for about 5 minutes in the freezing cold so we decided to meet up with them instead). While we were waiting to check out (we were 3 people from the front and it took 30 minutes for us to check out...) Ivan was telling us, when they opened the doors to let the line in some guys just walks right in. So Ivan being Ivan yells "let's get him". No one did of course but it got people hyped up. So finally we get to the checkout (John and I didn't buy anything). Now we are on our way to Staples, Circuit City, and Sports Authority. Out of all three of those stores we bought two items (they were on sale!)both at the same store and they were located in the front rack right when you walk in. Ivan wants to go to Best Buy too so we walk back over to Best Buy and start looking around again. John finds something that he needs for his truck so we got it (it was not on sale, and he ended up having to return it). So...we went shopping the busiest day of the year and we didn't buy anything on sale, we bought most of our items from Best Buy, the first store we went to, and we were home by 8:00. What a day!!
