Dear Black Friday,

I've never paid much attention to you before. I h.a.t.e. to shop, so you were always just a dull subject buzzing around in the background on past Thanksgivings. But this year it's hard not to notice you. Seems like there is much controversy going on about when you should begin. Well, I'm just letting you to know, that I don't care if you start at midnight, or 4am in the morning- I ain't showin' up! You have absolutely nothing that I am willing to risk life or limb over! Please don't be offended, but I've just got better things to do.

Regards,
The Sleeper

What's your take on Black Friday? You dig, or do you avoid it like The Plague?

We slept in and went on a bike ride! The crazy pepper spray woman was at the Walmart about 10 miles from our house ~ no thanks! Talk about losing the spirit of Thanksgiving in a hurry.

Oh wow! That IS crazy! The Elder was talking about her this morning. He said she ended up turning herself in. I hope she got some reeeeally good deals cuz she may need the money she saved to pay for fines, or bail, or maybe even some law-suits, who knows!

A bike ride...I'm seeing that as a possibility for me, more and more...:)
