black friday.

I swore I wouldn't go shopping on Black Friday... but when you go at 5p.m. it doesn't really count. 

Devin and I mostly just wanted to get out of the house.

First, we went to Kohl's. Saw Devin's mom, working like a mad woman! Scored major on a memory foam pillow for me. Devin has one and he loves it. He can't sleep without it, and the past few weeks I've been having some serious neck pain. One night, he very selflessly lent me his pillow, and I slept so much better, so we finally got me one. 50% off.

Next, we braved the mall. It wasn't that bad! The parking lot was packed, but it didn't seem too crowded. We browsed around for awhile, and then Devin said he wanted to walk through Macy's since he never had. He didn't know that there were 3 floors. He didn't know they had the kitchen ware and furniture on the top floor. He was amazed! He is also beginning to talk me into getting a Kitchen Aid (and by that I mean that he's talking about it enough that I'm almost to the point of saying "fine. let's get one.") There are a few things about them that I have some quips with, and I know everyone that has them loves them, but I'm not entirely sold yet. But then I saw the Tiffany Blue one. And the Mint Green one. And I got a little closer.

We ended up getting a 10 piece set of serving dishes. They're super nice and we've wanted them for awhile. We had seen them at Kohl's on sale for $80. We got them for $30!

After that, we stopped in the food court and shared some Hibatchi San (best noodles ever). And went into Sports Authority. We got Scott ski goggles, buy one get one free, for $55! 

I was surprised at how good the sales were. Every store had awesome deals, and I love the mall at christmas time. I don't know why. It was so fun though. Not to mention the people watching! haha

So I guess I've learned the trick. Shop on black friday... just wait until later in the afternoon! It was definitely worth it. We spent all day looking for a tree topper though, and have yet to find the perfect gold star! Any suggestions?
