I Survived Black Friday!

Well, I survived Black Friday. My BFF and I went out shopping at 6:30 AM. The crowds weren't that bad actually. But neither one of us was impressed by the sales and we were not pleased with the treatment we received from the salespeople at Macy's and Beall's. And our waitress at Cracker Barrel must have forgot about us and I had to send my eggs back because they were cold. It was actually rather a depressing day of shopping. But Leisha and I managed to have a few laughs and it's always good to hang out with your girlfriends. I got home around 1 pm and then had to immediately get ready for work.

Yes, I had to work 2 pm to 11 pm at Target. Thank goodness that was my last day. I have decided that standing on my feet for 9 hours on nights and weekends and earning minimum wage is not my type of job. I don't know how some people manage to survive on the pay they receive at some of these places. Don't get me wrong, Target is a great place to work. The people are great and they care about their employees. But if I was the primary bread winner for our family, we would not be able to live on that kind of money. It once again reminds me to be thankful and content with what we have as we are very fortunate to have a roof over our heads, meals on the table and clothes on our backs, not to mention all the extras we have.

Well, tomorrow is another challenge. The Space Coast Half Marathon! After that, I am really going to have to buckle down and get serious on my fundraising if I'm going to make it to Vancouver. Don't forget you can help me in my battle to end blood cancer by making a donation.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings on today! Have a wonderful weekend. It's absolutely gorgeous weather in Florida today! Another thing I am thankful for. I'll let you know how I do in the Space Coast once I get home.
