Day 280, November 25th

So technically it's Friday, so thought I'd start us off at midnight when we got to Target.  So it was crazy packed.  The line was seriously 100s of people deep, so we grouped with some outcasts standing on the side waiting for the line to be gone to stroll in. Great idea, except Target is a genius about this Black Friday business and they were only letting 10 people in at a time until the line was gone.  So, more people got in line, time for us to go in was longer.  We walked to a Circle K, got some drinks and snacks and headed in line.  Surprisingly once we were in line, it didn't take all that long.  
Once we got in, it was overwhelming, again, we weren't there for anything, and really thought we'd just wander around and check out deals.  With everyone running to the deal they were there for, we decided to do the opposite, and enjoy the late night fun.
So we wandered, picked up a sweater for Ryan and some cute plates, and decided we were done and ready to check out, and that's when we saw the line.  It wrapped through aisles!! We would have to wait at least another hour for a sweater we could buy tomorrow!! So...we left.
We headed over to Best Buy to pick up the TV we purchased earlier, and even that turned into a bit more work than expected.  The first guy we asked said we had to get in line, which wrapped the perimeter of basically the whole store, and then just tell them at the front we were just there for a pick up.  That seemed insane to me, so I asked someone else and he said to just go to Customer Service, we did, got the tv, after awhile waiting for the back room to get their ish together and finally, around 3 a.m. we headed home.  Nothing purchased, but a bit more knowledgeable about this crazy Black Friday business.
We slept, then spent the rest of Friday setting up the new tv, selling the old one on Craigslist and cleaning up the pad.  We ordered pizza for dinner, watched the ASU game and I caught up a bit on the blog.  Friday was very lazy, we refused to leave the house after our crazy middle of the night shopping!!
