Christmas shopping gone Crazy!

First of all I want to thank all of you for the warm blogging welcome!
Now let me tell you the crazy thing I did last night or should I say first thing this morning!
I met three friends at the outlet center in Lake Elsinore Ca where I live.
It is about five minutes from my house.
The sale started at midnight.
I knew I was in trouble when off in the distance I could see a steady stream of headlights non ending.
It looked like the headlights coming to the field of dreams.
I was one of the last cars that got to park near a building entrance.
My friends were directed a football field away from the center.
But hey it was a sale right.
Well the second reality check came when I realized that they were only letting so many people in a store at a time. I waited thirty five minutes to get in Old Navy only to find out that the sale on Tuesday when there where no lines was better!
Next I was off to the Fox racing store where again I found no great buys!
Well I am going to jump ahead to the last of the five stores I went into which was bath and body store.
This was insanity.Men were buying gifts and not being able I guess to make decisions I saw guys with fifteen and twenty lotions in their net shopping bags.
I waited one hour and ten minutes to purchase one gift that was half price.
It was now three in the morning and my feet hurt my shoulders hurt and I needed coffee!
Gayle God bless kept saying how much fun we were having.
We Gayle's two daughter's and I were thinking she was delirious and also needed coffee or a slap,just kidding.
So I was the first one to bale as I wasn't pleased with two items and three hours of cattle like crowds.
I took Crystal home as she has a newborn and her milk had come in the first time she heard a kid cry so she was as happy as me to flee.
Interesting thing is that half the cars were gone at three am.
Will I do this next year,Gayle says I will because I would break tradition if I don't and that isn't nice.
Will see!
