and let’s talk shopping:-)
Mostly “Black Friday” crazy shopping!!!
Last week I looked over all the “Black Friday” specials
while my husband drove us to visit family for Thanksgiving.
We found a crazy good deal on a certain item and
just couldn’t pass it up!!!
I mean surely we can battle the crowds and stand
forever to save $150!
My husband’s response…
“How bad can it be?”
Isn’t he cute? Obviously he has never shopped
on that particular Friday before.
So after filling our bellies full of turkey, stuffing, and some dessert…
ok, you got me, mostly dessert:-)
We ventured out to Walmart.
We just had to laugh at all the irritated people we saw.
Seriously, who goes shopping on Black Friday
and doesn’t expect it to be busy.
These people were so funny!!!
Funny how fast the feeling of Thanksgiving
disappears when you have crazy sales to get to.
We saw people carrying multiple boxes
taller than their heads…and trying to pass people
without being able to see the people!!!
And then getting upset when she dropped them:-)
We saw people staked out beside the shrink wrapped
pallets just waiting to pounce
if someone dares to get an item first.
Then there were the people that had just regular
day to day stuff…like towels.
Towels???
Seriously, you are going to shop for towels on the
worst shopping day of the year?
If you are only going to save a dollar or two,
I recommend just waiting another day or two.
Then we got in line to pay…for an hour and a half at least.
Now when you get in line, do you stand directly behind
the number of the register you expect to pay at???
Or do you form a side line behind a register
THAT ISN’T THERE!
And then each line was bickering back and forth
about who was really number 17!!!
It was super funny stuff people!
We just stood there soaking in all the crazy irritable people!
Lucky for us we had a guy that was easily 6’10″
and weighed 400 lbs. easy in line with us!
I don’t think too many people wanted to argue with him.
It was 2 hours full of crazy Walmart people…
but hey, the laughs from this date (and the savings) were totally
worth it!!!!
Now if only I had actually witnessed a fight or scuffle
over something silly…
you know like waffle makers:-)
So, I’m curious…
did you go shopping on Friday?
did you witness anything funny???
Do you want another donut?
How about just the recipe?

1/3 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
2/3 c. sour cream

- Fill donut cavities at least 3/4 full. Bake 9 minutes. Let sit in the pan for about 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Melt chocolate and mint chips with shortening in a microwave safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds so it doesn't burn. Dip tops of donuts into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with chocolate jimmies and green sugar.
