On your mark, get set, SHOP!

As a holiday tradition, Brent's sisters all go holiday shopping. They call eachother from N.Y., Iowa, and Idaho to compare notes and prices, and to see if one could get what others could not. Well for the past three years I have been in Idaho for Black Friday, and have gone with them. This year we stayed home, but we decided to go out anyway. Walmart was having $2 movies, and $15 blue-ray, so we thought we'd go & look. we were planning on getting there a little before 5. The walmarts here are open 24hrs, and so they just have employees next to the doorbusters keeping order until 5. that way you can go to what you want without fighting those who are going to another department and such. Well somone made a jump at the stuff this year at 4:45, and it started! There was a mad rush, but most people were nice enough to hand you stuff & help eachother, so besides the portable DVD player people (those who jumped the gun & started the whole store in to a panic) , everything was pretty smooth. EXCEPT the employees had forgotten to put the Blue-Ray disks out, an dwhen we asked, no one could find them anywhere. I was actually talking to the store manager, and he was on the radio trying to find them and get them out when the people started early down the aslie. He ran off trying to get them to put it back (good luck there pal). So we were out of luck there. :( but we finished all our Christmas shopping yesterday. Oh, yea, Kit's now getting all her molars at the same time, so she goes through periods of screaming & whining. Yesterday at 2am was one such time. By the time we got her Motrin & some Milk, she was wide awake. So we got dressed and got to Walmert an hour early. I guess Kit was ready to shop 'til she dropped too! Which she did. While we were checking out at Walmart, Brent was holding her and she just zonked out even with all the noise & such.
