Black Friday Blog Hop
My sister normally comes into town for Thanksgiving, and on Black Friday we go shopping. We don't get up early - we go a at normal hour. We walk around the entire mall, buy stupid stuff we don't need, and then head home.
I have to admit, the only time I've ever gotten up early and gone Black Friday shopping was a few years back, when my mother decided she wanted a discounted microwave. So we got up, myself, my sister, my mother, and my youngest son, and off we went. We got to the store, and the microwaves were all gone. Mom was understandably disappointed. The next thing I know, my son comes running up to us, carrying a microwave, yelling at us to "Get in line! Go! Go!"
Turns out, he spotted one sitting in someone's cart - a cart they'd walked away from, over half way down the aisle. He grabbed the microwave and ran. I didn't have the heart to tell him to go put it back, so we ended up with a microwave.
Okay, okay. Now to the thing you've all come for - the prize!

Buhahhaha that story is classic! Hopefully whoever's cart he took it from isn't a member of your blog! They may want their microwave back. Thanks for putting a big smile on my face and for the amazing giveaway!

I wonder if someone else's mother cried over the microwave that got away lol....

This is the BEST way to spend Black Friday. Sitting at home, hopping with old friends and making new ones. I can't handle the crowds anymore so I only do Black Friday shopping online if I do any. Today I got a programmable slow cooker for $9.99 online and got free shipping too. Didn’t even have to get dressed LOL. I am a sucker for the Happily Ever After which is why I like the romance books. I especially like the paranormal or futuristic romance books with hot sexy alpha heroes and kick-ass heroines. Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>

I no longer go Black Friday shopping. Too many crazy people out there. I don't have the patience I had when I was younger, LOL. So today I am staying in and blog hopping, instead of shopping! angadair@nwcable.net Thanks for the hop!
