Yes, I am one of those people that you may have seen out on the roads this morning before 3 o’clock. There were some nice deals though.
As many of you may know, I am in the process of having a house built. This is a long time coming. We have rented a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom single-wide trailer for the past 3 and a half years. Our house is set to be a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with a garage and a full basement. That will certainly be a big change.
Anyhow, I was out a 3 this morning. My first stop was JC Penney’s. We went and got in line 15 minutes or so before their 4 AM opening. I was in line at Sears a little after 4, in the cold, until their 5 AM opening. We got a 46 inch LCD television and a front-loading washer and dryer combo. I stood in line there at Sears until a few minutes before 5. Then, I left my wife there as I went to Lowe’s. At Lowe’s I bought a stainless-look fridge, over the range microwave, stove, and dishwasher. Then, my wife did more shopping at Toys-R-Us and the mall while I walked around wishing I could just go to sleep.
I came home and went to bed around noon, and I slept for a nice 4 to 5 hours straight. Now, I am wide awake thinking I never want to shop again.
