Black Friday Strategy.

I'm full. Dinner was great. Went to a cousin's place for Thanksgiving. Photos to come.

I have work due at the office tomorrow but I'm not working on it. Instead, I'm going through the sales ads. Tomorrow is Black Friday. The mother of all retail days. I never have much time to shop but I go for it anyway. Shops open at dawn, some even earlier. I like to get in and out as fast and as early as possible. It's not even that I'm waiting to buy something specific; I like the sport. Throwing a few elbows and the thrill of the hunt. I tend to go for higher ticket items since that's where I'd get the best savings--things I tell myself not to buy all year because they're "too expensive." All the things I need that I've convinced myself I do not. If I see them in the ads, then I reconsider.

I'm working on my strategy right now. I spent some time thinking about which store or stores I want to hit up. Think about what it is I'm really set on waking up at 4 a.m. for and spending the little cash I have to play with.

I'm going to Target again and/or Circuit City. I'm undecided. I have itemized lists ready. It will be insane.

Happy Thanksgiving!
