Appreciate it brother, but I wasn't kidding about the drinking and probably shouldn't be on the road already.
I'm good though; not doing a turkey but I did get everything I need to make a beautiful seafood penne rigate with homemade vodka cream sauce, asparagus, antipasto, peach pie and a decent bottle of wine.
I'm eating alone; I get to pick the meal. Who needs turkey anyway?
Who needs turkey if you are eating such a wonderful sounding meal!Quote:

Alright, but the invite stands. If you change your mind, PM me. We're eating around 1530, but there will be plenty of extra food, wine and booze to last the whole night!Quote:

We arrived at 4AM, set up our game plan. There were 5 adults (my two girlfriends, their husbands and me) and 3 teenagers, spread all over Wal-Mart. So I am standing by my stack waiting for the designated time to grab the sewing machine, this was at 4:20 the time to grab stuff is at 5AM.
Everything is cool, the customers around me are happy and we are joking with each other. Seems to me that this year there is less stuff and more people. Very very crowded. All of a sudden we hear people screaming over by the digital cameras.... boxes are flying in the air at 4:30. The whole store erupts and people start grabbing their loot. I get the sewing machine and two small MP3 players, I could still hear screaming and took a peak around the pallet with the sewing machines. There are two women just going at it on the ground.... INSANE!!! The teenage girls that were with us said some guy got hit in the nose and a poor Grandma was thrown out of the way. Made it to the cash register and we were out of there by 5AM. As we walk out the doors the paramedics were walking in.
We headed over to Super Target and the line to get into the store wrapped all the way around the back. A bit calmer at Target. They were only letting people in through one set of doors. I was standing back watching the herd move and people were getting very testy with those trying to cut in line. :lol8: The second set of doors were locked until you had purchase in hand. Some customers were coming out with their purchases, as soon as the door was unlocked this women breaks off from the orderly line and plows into the security guard and into the store. :roflol: What makes a person act like that? I made my way into the store and saved a spot in the checkout line for the rest of the crew. So we made it out of there in record time.
Then off to Tai Pan. This was the calmest store, but we managed to get in the wrong line. It was the shortest, longest line I have ever stood in. It took the cashier lady 45 min to check out ONE customer. She really didn't even have that much. Who knows.
After shopping we ate breakfast at Village Inn. Well all the fun is over for this year. Have to wait another 365 days to experience Black Friday! But hey I have me cordless power drill now, and the top items on my kids christmas wish list.
:bash: Oh, hangoverr. Need coffee but don't want to face the grinder.
Chere, you're story is insane. I think it would be fun to watch, especially the fighting, but I can't deal with crowds like that.
I spent Thanksgiving with a bunch of friends. Didn't really care to eat much but I did have a delicious leg. Downed a dozen whiskey and club soda drinks. We got out of there around 1, still had a couple of beers at the place I was spending the night. Fell asleep like a baby :haha: Hangover not bad, had wayyyy worse. Stopped my Smiths on way back, cooked breakfast, hangover soup is slowly cooking and I'm gonna take a wee nap :2thumbs: Black Friday what?
Went shopping around 7:30am. Decided to avoid Walmart altogether and went to Kmart for a camera & digital picture frame. Was in and out of there in 30 mintues :eek2: Then went to the mall in RockSprings and met up with a friend in Herbergers & talked for a half hour, dropped off a watch at Schubachs for repair...& came home. Not a bad morning & go what we were looking for. :nod:
Just finished putting up the tree.....
Lookin' good Deuce.
Currently watching the Lakers vs. Mavs game. Go Lakers
Hanging out at a party, watching people get drunk :haha:
Star Trek on TV, leftover pasta and Hefeweizen. It's going to be a late night. :haha:
See; it was a late night.
I got a couple trip reports posted; Big Bend from last week and The Great White Icicle from clear back in July. While going through pictures I found this shot of my boy E and a friend he met this summer up at Tibble Fork.
Good looking boy you have there, Don.
Got up totally rested and it's only 8 in the morning. Probably becasue I decided not to have a drink until the holidays :haha: Luckily for me, Hanuukah is only a little over a week from now :2thumbs:
Oh you know, the usual. Pretending to do something important at work but really just reading posts on Bogley. :ne_nau:
Mucking out my home office/junk room. I hate this room!
Then repair x-mas ornaments. I can't believe they are 14 years old. Old little gingerbread men, they are falling apart. Where the hell has time gone! 14 years :ne_nau:
Just fixed our furnace. Now I'll be at one of the big box stores looking for molding for the basement.
Flu :frustrated:
Sucks, JP. At least you don't have to go to work tomorrow :haha: Get well sir!!Quote:
