i am too old for black friday

Last night while my mom watched the kiddos, we went to see New Moon at 9, then headed up 2 exits to go to the Philadelphia Outlets, which opened at midnight.

Two and a half hours later, we decided to give up – STILL having not reached the EXIT off the highway. (Yes. We sat on the highway, trying to get to a stupid outlet mall for over TWO hours.)  So we turned around and drove back towards home.

Then Husband mentioned that we should stop at the Wal-Mart to check and see if they were open all night, since he was planning to get up at 3am for some deal anyway. And they were open. And he was 5th in line! Yipee! So we all sat on the floor of Wal-Mart until FIVE AM waiting to buy a new Playstation 3.

Because… and I am not exaggerating… I am the BEST wife in the WHOLE WORLD.

So – to sum up -
Cooked Thanksgiving dinner yesterday afternoon – and all that.
Left the house at 8:30 to go see New Moon.
Watched New Moon until 11:15.
Sat on 422, going about 6 feet every 10 minutes until 2:00.
Arrived at Wal-Mart at 2:15.
Sat at Wal-Mart until 5:30.
Arrived home at 5:45.
Colin woke up at 6:30.

If you were in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart around 4am and happened to see someone in the back seat of a Jetta asleep under a grey peacoat… that was me.

    Hey. Dangit. They had the DS for $98. Wish I’d known you were there. I’d have had you pick one up for me.
