And a Shoe Went to Flying
Ok, I have now officially vowed never, never, never to go shopping on Black Friday again. Yes, I was lured by the possibility of some great bargains...yes I was lured by the promise of a very inexpensive, greatly discounted (if you could find it in the right size and color) leather Jacket I wanted for my honey for Christmas. Maybe it was the working 12 hours and then heading straight to the store, but somehow it was more than I bargained for. I'm looking at jackets and a beautiful cream colored dress shoe comes flying over the racks and nearly hits me. I cannot understand such frantic intensity for shopping. Darn, if that pair of shoes was so great, why is one on one side of the aisle and the other over there assulting my head???? Then I get home and later hear about some poor worker getting trampled in Wal-Mart of all places. Like, Wal-Mart is gonna run out of stuff to sale...no happening. And, Toyz-R-Us...who ever heard of people being murdered over toys. What in the hell is wrong with people. What happened to Christmas Spirit, what happened to manners, when did everything become me, mine, and I want. Somebody needs to spank these people!

I vowed years ago that I would never ever go shopping on Black Friday, even before it was called Black Friday.
My mom and brother witnessed a man getting his arm broke over a Cabbage Patch doll. I swore then and there, I would never go shopping on the worst day of the year.
Glad the shoe tip didn't poke your eye out.
Amen, girlfriend... I think it's terrible what Black Friday has become. I couldn't have put it any better myself.
Thanks...
