Happy Black Friday! It's 5:20 in the morning and my wife and mother in law are already out shopping. What am I doing up? I have been wondering the same thing myself. I do plan on going out amongst the idiots later on, but I have a toddler at home. So, for now, he is my responsibility. I didn't push to be one of the doorbusters this morning because I didn't see any impressive deals in the flyers this year. I'm not typically a shopper. Don't get me wrong, I do like spending money, but I like to go into a store knowing what I want and getting out. I do look forward to the busiest shopping day of the year because I am a gadget geek (as many men are) and I do tend to find great deals on electronics on Black Friday. This is definitely my kind of shopping too because you can say, "I am going to Best Buy for that $30.00 MP3 player and a copy of 'The Departed' on DVD and I am out!" With crowds like the ones we get around here (Norther Virginia), you don't want to be one of the people hanging out in the middle of the aisle debating whether to spend your last $15.00 on Season 1 of Northern Exposure on DVD or Season 2 of MacGuyver because you will get pummeled by the guy who came for the $200.00 laptop and wanted to get the fuck out! They do not stop and apologize either.
I still haven't answered the "What am I doing up?" question. Well, my wife got out of bed at 3:30 this morning and happened to wake me up. I just couldn't get back to sleep. As I am sitting here rubbing my foot on the spot on our berber carper where the fabric is starting to pull (a result of toddler curiosity undoubtedly), sipping on my pumpkin spice coffee (I LOVE PUMPKIN SPICE COFFEE AND WISH PEOPLE WOULD SELL IT YEAR ROUND!), fatigue is setting in. Man, it is going to be a long day...
