Black Friday Fun

By -
 


Some love to shop. 
If you are one of them have a fun safe day!

There are a few stores I love to shop, but they are really few.

*I love any knit shop
of course

*Book stores

*Cheesy tourist gift shops

*the hospital gift shop is awesome

*Walgreens....I don't know why. I can get lost there for a good hour.

*the jewelry store around the corner only sells silver and very inexpensive designs

*Free standing stores are okay. 
I don't like malls, I don't like "shopping centers" 

As for me, On Black Friday I'll be knitting. 
Enjoy the movie.
I switch from throwing to picking ....if you want to try to catch the change....

I worked too many Black Fridays at the jewelry store with my father --- no way I'm getting out in it.

Football and knitting here, too. And a head cold.

I try to avoid the big stores from mid-November to mid-January. I love to browse the aisles of Walgreens, too.

I see you're doing some speed-knitting. Impressive. LOL. I'm not out shopping today - too much craziness, and the roads are too slick. Knitting sounds like the perfect plan.

I have never once gone shopping on Black Friday. I have been offended by the whole idea of it from the first I heard of it. We're having turkey leftovers in a bit and hanging out and relaxing. I might put a few rows in my Hitchhiker shawlette. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

We ended up going to Wal-Mart of all places. Our television died this morning. We got a good deal on a new one AND it wasn't all that busy. I was VERY surprised.

I hate Wal-Mart on the BEST of days, but we got a very helpful sales person in electronics AND the checkout went smoothly. SURPRISE!

As for me I had to go to Target, but not for Christmas stuff I needed a shelf for my garage. Because as I am supposed to be resting my back I put up decorations, and straightened my garage, trimmed little one's hair, and then finally sat down to knit. No Black Friday running around for me, staying home is running around enough.
Hugs,
Meredith

I'm not a shopper either-I am quick even in my beloved fabric stores but the yarn shop makes me linger!

It's my first time visiting you from over at Teresa's blog and it seems we have a lot in common. I don't shop on Black Friday either. My husband and I were just discussing that today. I don't think I've ever gone out on this day. He and I both know I detest shopping unless it's yarn stores, tourist/vacation shopping and, believe it or not, Walgreens! I find this coincidence hilarious. I spent the day knitting mittens.
Blessings,
Betsy

Thanks for the visit and sweets! You may have noticed from the picture posted we ate 2 before you were out of the hospital! Love you! Find any goodies at the gift shop before you left?

The only shopping I did yesterday was online. I try never to shop from Thanksgiving to Christmas. If I can't get it online, I don't get it. I hate crowds and long lines even more. I agree with you on hospital gift shops. They are always full of great things.

Black Friday isn't as crazy up here (though it's creeping up...) but I prefer to stay home and knit. Which is just what I did! I work in marketing... and they really aren't the best sales... it's all just hype.

Went to the grocery store out of necessity and made a quick stop at a fabric store. That was it for me.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
