Happy Thanksgiving. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Than the big shopping day today. I actually was all stoked up about going out shopping. There were several items we had planned on getting. Wasn't real excited about the 5 in the morning deal though. Several places had laptops in the good deal range. Unfortunately there good deals were still above my good deal ideas. My neighbor however got her daughter one. Actually it was a random act of kindness. Another woman closer to the front grabbed 2 laptops and handed one to my neighbor who wasn't even in the right line. What a nice person. I knew they were still around.

Than my sister called me about their crazy early morning ( 4 AM ) shopping. She rambled off the list, 50 inch TV, Digital Cameras, Portable DVD players on and on and on. Than she struck a nerve. A new laptop. For who I said. Her significant other was the reply. Why? You guys just bought a nice $1200 2 years ago. She lost the power supply was the come back. Now I know it isn't right but my whole mood just sank to the bottom. She's out buying a new laptop cause it was to hard to hit up EBay for a $20 power supply. Meanwhile your's truly keeps his old 98-99 laptop limping along with tape and string.

I know I'm not suppose to be bothered by this, they are successful and can afford these things. It just caught me off guard. Needless to say I wasn't much into facing crowds or looking at over priced items I could never afford so I sent the girls out shopping on their own. Maybe later today I'll perk up.

So another Black Friday has come and gone.
