Can you tell by my new background that I'd rather be at the beach than working the weekend after Thanksgiving in a retail store?
I don't understand how our deals are SO enticing that folks would get out of their warm bed...on their day off of work...to fight and climb over others (who let me remind you got up before Starbucks opens)...to get a toy/game/tv....for that someone who will not appreciate their efforts....because they will never know that it was bought on the cheap.
Anyhow, my day went really well. No one was trampled (Walmart, NY)...shot (ToysRUs, California) or treated poorly. We were complimented on our "cattling" of the shoppers to the registers; we had a plan and appeared very organized. We had plenty of toys...and we were still going strong at 4pm when I finally got to leave the salesfloor, take a drink of water and go meet my ride out front (I didn't drive b/c of parking).
Thanksgiving went well the day before for us too. No pictures to show for it...but two (14lbs/ea.) turkeys got fried...we had garlic mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, corn bread biscuits, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, brown rice, stuffing, garden salad, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie for dessert. There were plenty of options to meet everyone's wishes.
I think everyone was STUFFED!
Anyone get any good Black Friday deals?

I shopped online and saved myself the headache and gas money, and got to do it while my children were napping instead of crying to get out of the stroller. I got some deals at Old Navy on Tues but they promised me that if the stuff went on sale on Friday (or anytime in the next 2 weeks) that I'd be able to get a price adjustment. I didn't even leave the house to get the mail, just sat around in my PJs drinking coffee and eating leftovers.
