I worked retail for a long time, so I HATED it then, but once I got away from the madness of perpetually folding t-shirts I got to embrace the fun side of it :)<br /><br />Most memorable was the year my son turned 3. My husband was deployed, but there was a PowerWheel Jeep at Walmart on sale for $75. Come hell or high-water my baby was getting that jeep! I bundled him up and we stood in line for 4 hours. When the clock struck 'sale time' it was pandemonium. People totally disregarded the line and Momma Bear had to start throwing elbows at wayward shoppers. There was a man in line in front of us that I had been talking to the whole time and when everything hit the fan he was kind enough to 'toss' one of the jeeps to me. I don't remember his name, but he was my hero that day. <br /><br />winkipinki1134 (at) hotmail (dot) comCaroleDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914006856363784964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-59317220008210366962012-11-24T01:03:06.526-05:002012-11-24T01:03:06.526-05:00Thanks for the chance to win!

I go browse the cheap and pretty ornaments, she shops, I jump in line and she meets me. By then she's done and I'm near the front of the line :) it's a good system! Then we go to Timmy's for a hot chocolate :)<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway, Liana!<br /><br />Cassandra<br />Irrelevantheart ATgmailDotComEditor Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575298681582664196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-3847478049041155962012-11-23T23:05:01.856-05:002012-11-23T23:05:01.856-05:00I shop online to avoid the crowds.

I'm in, I'm out, and I'm done! This year the money's tight so I will have to be a little more crafty with my purchases. ;-) Thanks for the giveaway!<br /><br />fcstcc18(at)yahoo(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-37325003879904685502012-11-23T22:28:24.703-05:002012-11-23T22:28:24.703-05:00I love Black Friday shopping, but this year I wait...I love Black Friday shopping, but this year I waited until the store was almost empty and I still got all the specials on my list. I live in a small town and even though there are a couple hundred people in Wal-Mart, most are friendly and they even say excuse me when they push you to get to what they want. I would never shop in the places they show in the news, way too scary., but in my town, I try to go every year.<br /><br />proudarmymom32(at)yahoo(dot)comSue Sattlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520893341104731069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-5670585327625105822012-11-23T22:23:20.666-05:002012-11-23T22:23:20.666-05:00LOL I used to own two Mastiffs and needless to say...LOL I used to own two Mastiffs and needless to say my couch or most of my drywall in my living room didn't last long! The picture you posted makes them look so innocent. That could be dangerous.<br /><br />I went once to Black Friday and the ONLY thing that would make me brave it again would be a kick butt sale on one night with Ian Somerhalder. Since I do not see that ever happening, I think my ventures on Black Friday are over.<br /><br />Thanks so much for being a part of the hop and for the giveaway.<br /><br />Happy Holidays,<br />Marlena<br />charmedpoms(at)yahoo(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-65021021074907684612012-11-23T22:14:35.604-05:002012-11-23T22:14:35.604-05:00I went black Friday shopping this morning for the ...I went black Friday shopping this morning for the first time in three years and had a blast!
