It’s Black Friday and I know some of you were up at the crack of dawn, even before that. Yeah, I was up at 3:30am but there ain’t NO WAY I was heading out in that freezing weather to stand in line for a $10 discount off some appliance. I may be a bargain shopper but I’m not crazy!
Instead, Lucy and I waited until about 12:30pm when it was much warmer and decided that biking today would be best so that we wouldn’t have to worry about traffic or parking. We get to park right out front!
We head to Starbucks of course and realize that the sun today is super deceiving. It’s in the 50s but freakin’ COLD with windchill!
We head to Target, not because we’re looking to shop for Christmas but we’re looking for some warm clothes for our bike ride back home! You know how much I detest cold.
The Target is pretty crowded but they have enough cashier lanes open that there isn’t really a long wait.
It’s busy enough that there are NO CARTS left.
Yes! Lucy manages to get us a cart. I hope she didn’t snag it from some old lady who wasn’t looking.
I shop in clearance and buy 3 shirts, a jacket, and some leggings for $41. Now that’s a bargain!
Lucy now wants to go to Victoria’s Secret.
I don’t find anything worth buying. Dick doesn’t care for all that fancy underwear. Just more work for him.
Look what we see on our way back home. His sign says:
“Except ye repent. Ye shall all likewise perish.”
Why is he carrying a sign on Black Friday saying this, standing on the busiest corner in Metropolis? Is shopping a sin or something? Repent what? Repent that I ate too much over Thanksgiving? I don’t get it. Does he know we were just at Victoria’s Secret? That surely must be a sin. Ok, so I’m sorry I didn’t buy anything at Victoria’s Secret. I repent! There, you happy?
