Not only were stores open on Thanksgiving, but some stores were open at midnight for the Black Friday sales. I didn't set the alarm, but was up early (which is typical for me). I showered and made it out the door by 5 a.m. To Walmart I was headed. There was an electronic item I wanted to buy for a Christmas present. Despite the store opening at 5 a.m. and my being on the road near Walmart by 5:20, imagine my surprise as I drove by to see the entire parking lot full with cars--not an open spot to be found.
I am not one for crowds and I certainly felt that in all of those vehicles, there wouldn't be one of the items I wanted to buy left. So I drove right on by and drove home. Plan B....begin work on sorting through the mess called my bedroom.
My husband and I live in an old Victorian home and we have a dressing room/parlor outside of our bedroom. It is packed to the gills with stuff. Mostly paperwork I have not dealt with because I am all about not dealing with things. I managed to put away my summer clothes and totally unpack my winter clothes. I also started to sort through the junk....old bill receipts, scrapbook items I've been saving for the girls, books, magazines, travel brochures and more books. I gave it a good effort but petered out early on. It sure is nice having a four-day (five for me with an added day of vacation) weekend!
