So, everyone at Michaels has been in a flutter all this past week, planning for today: Black Friday. I've worked T-day and the day after since I've started working. I don't think I've had it off in years. And unlike everyone else, I'm not worried. All I have to do is serve a whole bunch of people who will be crankier than usual due to turkey overdose and an overindulgence in pumpkin pie. Bring it on, Longview, bring it on.
Ok, so our day yesterday consisted of my boy and I walking the two miles to Fred Meyers for some T-day shopping. We got some necessary things, including a space saver for behind the toilet and another cheap folding table for my craft things and books. We also found this truly beautiful apothecary's cabinet on clearance for $120. We vacillated over whether to buy or not, and finally decided that we should. And wouldn't you believe it, when we got to the register, we found out that all clearance was an extra 40% off the last marked price. In total, we spent $151, which rocks because we thought, with everything, that it was going to be $250. Rock.
After that, we came home and puttered around setting up all the furnishings we had bought and cleaning out the place before dinner. For that, instead of cooking or going home and whatnot, we went to Sizzler--the only place open, and oddly quiet once we got there. My steak was overcooked, but the salad bar was divine.
Oh, also, Ryan bought me this 5 DVD collection called Girls Gone Bad, which has 24 films from the 30s to the 60s including: Reefer Madness, Sex Madness, She Shoulda Said No, and Bad Girls Go To Hell. Yeah, that's gonna be fun :D
Again, back to work, I have to work from 11 to 4, which isn't bad all things considered. I also get paid today. I plan to buy myself a pair of shoes because I have only one and they are falling apart. I can feel the street through the soles of them. Heh.
