Who’s going shopping tomorrow? Vince and I were talking about Black Friday shopping on our way home from a friend’s house today. In Kentucky, we had quite a few more shopping places. We had Sears, Kmart, a mall, Target .. more places that the average shopper could visit in one day. Vince and Chad would leave the house bright and early, they’d eat lunch out and come home with the car packed. Vince isn’t going shopping tomorrow (that’s what he says tonight). You can bet I’m not going anywhere. Get this . . Chad is off tomorrow! He’s been working retail close to 10 years and I don’t think he’s ever been off on Black Friday. There’s an auction somewhere near him and he and Addie are planning to spend the day there. Last time Chad and Addie went to an auction, she got three bowling balls. I don’t know if she paid $1 each or got them all three for $1 but she’s had more fun playing with those out in the yard.
Eat, Sleep, Knit is having their big Black Friday sale. I have a credit so I’ll spend that much. After making Addie’s hat in Blue Sky’s Woolstock, I wanted to get enough of that to make Throwback Thursday. I was looking at the colors to go ahead and have it in my cart so I can check out quickly and some of the colors looked familiar. I checked my spreadsheet and I already have enough to make three sweaters and one of them is the color I was thinking about getting. Good thing I checked!
Malabrigo Rios will also work and I have 10 different colors with enough to make this sweater so . . no . . I do not need to buy yarn for that sweater.
You know how Vince has always complained about my yarn buying. Probably 5 or 6 years ago, I don’t know if it was too many customers at ESK or our internet, but I was having trouble getting on their site and even more trouble checking out. Vince was on his computer trying to place an order. I was on my computer trying to place an order. Then Vince grabbed his phone and was trying to do it on his phone. I don’t remember if we got what I was wanting to get or not. One thing for sure . . we are not going to run out of yarn any time soon.
If you go out shopping tomorrow, stay safe. Stay calm. It’s going to be crazy!

We are only going one place and that is to his jeans on sale @ Cabela’s then right back home. We just had Herbergers close by us as well as Sears. So the shopping in this town will be very limited and people will be grumpy. We still have JCPenney, Target and Wal Mart. A couple of jewelry stores have closed as well… Been a rough couple of years !!

The only thing I plan to buy tomorrow is a newspaper!! I don’t like big crowds so I won’t be going out to shop tomorrow! I will just stay in and knit. Our nephew and his wife are coming over and they are going to look through some family pictures and Pat is going to let Matthew record him talking about family history. His wife is having their first child, so he wants to get as much family history as possible to pass on to his new son. I think that is cool! Pat was telling him there are some recordings of his father (Pat’s dad) at the Museum of the Southwest on the Texas Tech campus. They also got all the old copies of the County Progress. The magazine we used to publish for the County Judges and Commissioners across the state.

I wouldn’t got for all the tea in China!! Went once or twice since they first started all the black Fri. stuff and HATED it. I don’t need anything anyway and I think about the only way to get those really good deals is sleep in a tent for 2 or 3 nights and I’m SURE not doing that!!

Nope, staying home here. I can’t actually think of anything I need that I can also afford. LOL

My goal for Black Friday is not to leave the house! Four more rows and Maggie’s afghan is done and I can start Samantha’s. I may start putting up Christmas decorations and there may be a nap in my future:) I’m trying to keep away from ESK and Madelintosh websites but that may be an exercise in futility.

The only reason I went out this morning was to go to Discount Tire. My “check tires” light was on and I needed to get them checked and filled. I’ll be back there for a tire rotation on Tuesday afternoon. There was a 3 hr. wait today!
