Black, black Friday
Watching the news tonight (after my two hour post-Thanksgiving dinner nap), I was shocked to hear that approximately half of this country’s population will be heading to the mall tomorrow. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? This is more than just an “Erin hates people” kind of thing. In the words of my good friend, Matt, “Have we not heard of the Internet?” I know, I know, there are certain things you don’t want to buy over the Internet. But really, do you have to go get those things tomorrow? Are the sales really that good? Won’t the prices continue to drop as we get closer to the holidays and retailers try desperately to make their numbers? I say we must rise up, people, and resist! Stay home, sleep in, roll your eyes at crazy family members who are getting up at 5 AM to hit the mall (that’s you, Mommy and Kerry), order up a lovely pair of slippers (see below), and chuckle at all those suckers who are lining up for their defective XBox 360s. Happy Thanksgiving!
