I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! Mine was fine. We went to my sister-in-law's parents' house and there were about ten of us there. The food was good, the alcohol was sufficient and the conversation was decent. Their house is very nice; I could totally see myself living there! I felt a little wistful, I guess you would call it, because they now live like a mile from where I used to live and I had some memory flashes.
The day after Thanksgiving was relatively quiet for me. My parents got up at 3am to start shopping but I decided there was nothing I needed (or could afford!) that required me getting up that early. I was tempted to go to CompUSA for an adapter thingy to make my computer wireless (the technical term, ha ha) but didn't even do that. When my parents got home at about noon I heard their crazy stories of long lines and people waiting to get into stores, etc... Seems to me like a lot more people are getting up to hit the stores early than ever used to. Maybe it's just because more stores are opening early. Heck, the one local outlet mall opened at midnight and stayed open through the night!!
I couldn't let Black Friday go by without purchasing anything so I did end up visiting Best Buy and Circuit City for a brief time and bought a couple of $6.99 Greatest Hits CDs. I swear, my entire 200+ CD collection is comprised of Greatest Hits CDs. Okay, I exaggerate, but I honestly think about 75% of it is greatest hits CDs. My parents got an awesome deal on a 42-inch plasma HDTV though and it should arrive in 10-14 days! You have NO idea how excited I am about that!! They really don't want me to leave, do they?!
