ME & JULIE'S 24 HOUR BLACK FRIDAY ADVENTURE!!!!!

Yes you heard it right...We were literally out shoppin' it up and finding all "the Black Friday" deals for 24 Hours Straight!!! We thought we were smart when we made a plan to sleep in Julie's car after we were done shopping at the outlets, which opened at 11pm to kick off their big Midnight Madness Sales...However...when we arrived at Kohl's and saw that there were only a few people in line (this is at 1:45am BTW) we knew that all the crazies would just keep coming with their camp chairs and we did not want to miss a beat!!!

So...As tired as we already were by then, we knew we had to brave the freezing Cold and sit on the hard cement with our Diet Cokes & Blankets and wait for a couple hours until they opened at 4am!! We only look happy cuz we were 10th in line!! Yeah for us!! We had to take a piture of this random guy's make-shift tent that he had set up in front of Best Buy...we drove along the sea of tents and honestly could not believe our eyes!! It was so crazy. The people that were waiting behind him told us that he had been there for The Last 3 Days!!! I mean really...I know we were out all night, but I don't think there is a deal good enough in this years Best Buy Ad that you would've seen me camping out for!! Psycho!!
Here we are...with a car full of our"Black Friday Deals"... after standing in many lines, waiting, waiting, and more waiting, store hopping, getting in fights with store managers, getting dirty looks from random people for taking the "last one" of something, running
on No Sleep & Diet Cokes, feeling like we had just been to Tijuana and back, wanting to brush our teeth so badly, Our feet hurting and basically just sick of each other and this whole experience!! What is that you ask??? Was it worth it???


Well...judging from our appearance and sad faces, at the time we probably would have just Bit Your Freaking Head Off if you had asked us that!!! But now looking back, I would totally do it over again, only with Julie being my "partner in crime" (She doesn't know this yet) but most likely will make her do "Black Friday" with me next year...Okay maybe not an all nighter!! That really was Brutal...but we definately made some fun memories that we will always remember and laugh about!!! HAHAHAHA Thanks Draeger, for the Good Times!!!

It is so funny that it was such a huge deal for you to be out there that you had to post about it! once you have it under your belt for about 9 years it won't even be a big deal! :0) Let's go the day after Christmas!

jenn...so much to comment on. and i think you're pretty much the psycho for being up for that long! you're crazy..there really wasn't even anything that good. i mean i went, and i'm glad i did..but nothing to stay up all day for...

You are one crazy girl!! Got your Christmas card before we headed to Cali last week - my most favorite one yet!! The entire design is amazing but the pics ... beyond gorgeous :) Who would have thought Kristian would have ended up with such a stunning family?!?! He is one lucky guy - don't forget to remind him of that ;)

Jen, oh my gosh. Sounds like it was pretty crazy. I could totally shop all night but I'm not sure I could handle all the crazies.

Jill Burke said...

jen - you're a nut!!! :)

Rachel said...

you guys are absolutely crazy - that looks miserable to me, but I can imagine doing it with friends and making it into party! Definitely a good story and a good memory - well has it been long enough yet to call it that?

Emily said...

You guys are crazy, but I would have totally done it with you! Hope you have a great Christmas.
