Comments on: Black Friday http://www.drozmonkey.com/2007/11/15/black-friday/ The Adventures of JR, Jenny, Olivia, Molly, Violet, and Red. Wed, 08 Oct 2008 06:37:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Holiday Inventory at Andrews Family http://www.drozmonkey.com/2007/11/15/black-friday/#comment-4832 Holiday Inventory at Andrews Family Tue, 04 Dec 2007 05:03:47 +0000 http://www.drozmonkey.com/2007/11/15/black-friday/#comment-4832 [...] I know some of you out there have been waiting for the full story on Black Friday this year since I had mentioned before that I was planning to camp out at Best Buy. This year I was shopping for a desktop for Jenny’s Grandma, a desktop for my parents, and a laptop for Jenny’s brother Zach who is graduating from high school this year. Since I had so many ‘orders’, I wanted to make sure that I was in the front of the line to guarantee that I would get what I wanted. So Thursday morning, yes that was Thanksgiving day, before the girls woke up I rolled out to stake out my spot at Best Buy. I swung by the one in the Arboretum first and there were already about 5 people there at 8 AM. So I passed on that one and went straight to the I-35 and Parmer Lane location. There I found a father and son team setting up a tent so that made me 3rd in line. It would have been fun to be first, but it was worth it to have those guys be so happy that someone else was crazy too. Being a Black Friday veteran, I knew that lawn chairs get uncomfortable and that lying in a sleeping bag on concrete isn’t all that pleasant either, so I unloaded my Lazy-Boy recliner and set up shop.

As Mom would say "It's as slow as molasses in January". I'll be thinking of you as I snuggle down in my warm bed. Bless you, JR.
