black friday...

...they should really call it red or pink or blue friday.

today, laing and i got out in the madness, not really to fight the crowds, but because tom went in at 5:30 this morning, and i didn't really feel like going to dickson just yet this morning when i left his parents' house.

shockingly (and pleasantly), the crowds were really NOT that bad! seriously!
pretty decent parking spots, great company, and saving $$$...fun times!
i haven't gotten back out on black friday since i quit working retail, and i still feel sorry for all the folks having to get up at the crack of dawn to serve the crazies that come out, but as far as the shopping goes, it was actually quite fun. AND...i got most of my christmas shopping done! yay! and i might have gotten a couple (or ten) things for myself. ha!

i was (hopefully) able to get all of the christmas lights for the wedding reception that i need too fm home depot today, so some of this is about wedding planning! ;)

i also bought our first ornament for our tree next year!! :)

happy holidays, everyone!
hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
