one thing i noticed i forgot to mention in my black friday post, which seemed a bit on the whiney side when i reread it…even though i was tired as hell and there were a billion and two people and we spent time standing outside in the middle of the night…well, it was kinda fun. yes. fun.

it was an adventure to hop in the car at 3am with my husband. and the people did have a general sense of comraderie there. we all knew we were silly, but we went out in the quest of deals. there was a certain “we’re all in this together” vibe. people shared information. they shared store circulars. they asked each other questions, and in general, were a lot more friendly than you normally get. not every single one, but a lot of ‘em.

and when we were in line at office depot, the chick behind us ended up getting a laptop she’d came for that she hadn’t thought she was going to be able to getshe was so excited, she started jumping up and down. she was squealing, a little anyway.

i dunno. it was just kind of cool to see that lady get so happy. i felt happy for her, too. even though i didn’t end up with everything  i wanted, it was nice to see somebody who did and was thrilled about it.
