So I had a great relaxing day with my family, Turkey, yams, stuffing... and PIE!!!
Then we got home. My husband and I had been debating on weather or not to buy our children DS's for Christmas... then we see an ad on TV... only $89 at Walmart... sigh.... so we call Walmart to ask how many they have and what the protocol for tomorrow will be. We are informed that we can come in at 10 Pm on Thursday and pick up a ticket, one per machine you want, so that means two for us. Then you can leave and come back at 5 am for the sale. Ok we thing no so bad. So my hubby leaves at 9 to get the tickets, anticipating a line.... little did we know we were in for it! To our surprise the original person that we talked to LIED!!!! Once you were in the line you were stuck until 5 am!!! So my hubby calls and tells me to come and switch him places. So there I am with my vow to not be stuck in a store broken. That's right folks I stood in a line for a TOY for a little over 7 hours!!!!
I watched the midnight sale with amazement, people were fist fighting over other toys and pushing each other down and trampling them for movies. "I don't need anything so badly." I thought to myself... but then remembered that I was saving myself almost $90!!! So in the line I stood. When 5 o'clock came I was tired, cold and terrified of walking thru the store with 2 DS's in my hands. At the check out I was asked by a security guard if I wanted an escort to my car... did he really think I needed one?!? So scared to death I answered, "Yeah sure, why not" and off we went. I am happy to report that I got to my car safely and I was home before 5:15!!!
Christmas shopping is now complete.
