[Miss Kitty]

BR, where is Beach Jacket working?
Mangy, whatdja git?
Kitty, what time did you finally get to sleep?

I had already gone to bed before 10:00 pm and read...woke up at 1:30 am. I think I dozed back around 5-8, when the plumber called! They showed up around 8:30 and I handwashed dishes for an hour while listening to my dishwasher hum. I am a :shock: right now.

Just back and going to sleep.

Thank you both.

Kitty for taking up for me.
Mangy for not calling me.

Daughter just started her 2-11 shift. Wasn't looking forward to it. You know how soporific Thanksgiving food makes ya. She drank a Red Bull to get up for working.

Big D and I are so chillin' today. No way we're going shopping ... except for more wine. ;-)

Well did you Kohl's it?

Nope. Started the lights, spent the rest of the day on the sofa. Feel like I'm trying to get a cold...

BLESS all you shopper's hearts!! You're so good for the retail economy.
Personally I'd rather take a needle in the eye than go shopping this weekend!

Daughter said that by 6 PM, they had done over $100K in sales today. They catered in food for the employees. She says they are totally slammed. They'll definitely be in the black today.

I plan to wait until the middle of the night in the middle of the week and go finish my toy shopping at Wal Mart out in the middle of nowhere. I'll never go shopping on Black Friday sober again...

Walmart on Black Friday. Never.

NoHall, Kohl's has all their toys 50% off. Although they are not normally a toy vendor, they stock up on Black Friday and place them in the middle of aisles and near customer service. They do a great job of making use of space. Lots of Fisher Price toys, and even toys for older kids. They had some hot toys too, a selection of just about everything. Also they have some that are exclusives, like a remote control helicopter

I have to say though where we go there are no strip malls, so the traffic is a lot lighter, and I also was in and out of Toy's R Us in less than hour and there was no line, and to boot we got help from a knowledgeable sales associate. I also don't go as soon as they open. We got there at 7 am.

They were saying this year would be good sales wise, however, I just didn't see the turnout that I normally do. Kohl's was open at 4 am, it was busy , but then by 5 am, it was rather quieter than normal. People came in, got a few doorbusters and left.
