I'm finally home and thank goodness...still alive

I just got home from shopping. This is the first time I've ever gone on Black Friday. My husband is usually the one to make the trip out. I really don't like to shop...it's never been something that I enjoy. I decided that since he's gone the past 7 years that I should serve my time and do my part ha ha ha.I had no idea what I was in for. I got to the store and there was a line from the store entrance that wrapped around the building and all the way to the end of the parking lot. The lot was so full that people were parked a block or so away and walking. For holiday shopping I've never seen so many cranky and rude people. It was a mad house out there. There were actually police officers throughout the store. 3 posted in every department. You could feel the tension and people just weren't what I thought. People were running in to each other with their shopping carts and racing down the isles like the store was on fire. It was crazy. Since I'm a rookie to all of it I just went in the opposite direction of the crowd and hoped that I wouldn't fall victim to a riot. I was my happy self but nobody was having it. I guess people don't like happy at 4:00am lol. Well, I'm all about making a list, getting in the store, getting what I need and then I'm out. It took me less than and hour. I'm so glad it's over.

If you went shopping today..any good stories about your adventure??
