black friday.

i did it. i went to target at midnight on black friday with my mops & sis. it was a spur of the moment decision. aka we arrived at our local target no more than seven minutes before midnight. ...no camping out in line for these girls. and boy, was it ever crazy. the line to get in the store was insanely long. at least it moved fairly quickly. and we were thoroughly entertained listening to numerous extremely hilarious, not-so-private conversations in our near vicinity. (it's not called eavesdropping if you can't NOT hear someone's conversation, right?} after more than enough high school drama, over-emotional boyfriends, and "he said/she said," we finally made it through the front doors of target. high five! the atmosphere inside the store was actually much less tense & aggressive as i thought it might be. with the exception of a few traffic jams, we had no issue navigating the store. in fact, it was actually kind of fun. nevertheless, we left target less than an hour later, with just a few souvenirs and our wallets intact. all in all, my {first} black friday experience was a positive one.

my favorite part of the entire evening morning: the frazzled looking couple fighting over who was to push their shopping cart, all whilst running down the main aisle of the store. thank you for that.
