I WENT.

And I text msged squirrely girl, mu_agd, and greeklawgirl because I stood in lines all day.

I got to the mall at 7:30AM with my mom and luckily we found a parking spot right away. We noticed that there were many people who slept in their cars. It's good to go with at least one more person. That means that someone can stand in line while the other looks for other good bargains.

We were at Sears shopping for the kids' clothes for three friggin' hours because their registers kept on needing to be reboot. At the Disney Store, the power went out twice. Macy's was just pure chaos. I think I ran to the mall's Starbucks at least five times while mom stood in line because that's how long the lines were.

Oh yeah--just because you're pregnant and ready to pop does NOT give you the right to be slow as hell when you're operating a cash register. Pregnant woman who are almost full term should stay home on the day after Thanksgiving so they don't act as dead weight! Out of the customer service station at Macy's Juniors, 4 out of 6 chicks were pregnant. Almost full term pregnant.

Still, the 50-60% signs were all worth it. And I did manage to get my mom to spend $$$ on a set of new Sandy clothes!

Ah, the joys of being consumer driven sheep.
