I survived Black Friday 2005

I have this tradition with an aunt of mine, every year for the past few years we go out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Some people say we are crazy, because you always hear about people getting beat up and stepped on trying to get the things they want. We are able to bypass all of that by starting out at a little later time then the hardcore shoppers, not fighting over a close parking space, and above all enjoying the day. I am proud to announce that for the first time we actually waited outside a store to open, and we where within the first 20 people to wait in line to get in. Ok, ok, before you ask how we did it, the store was Kirkland's, and they didn't open until 10am (we got there 5 minutes till), and there wasn't as much excitement about their store opening for the day.
