Everyday Randomness

I’m about to wake Hubby up.  He wants to hit up Walmart this morning for the tv that he insists he just has to have.  Considering I’ve been wanting a new tv as well I finally gave in to his pleading.  I knew he was serious when he said he wanted the tv now and the Playstation 3 later.  That man has talked about nothing all week but that PS3.

What I don’t like is how he freaked out over the whole Black Friday thing.  He has never in his life been shopping on Black Friday, so he doesn’t know how hectic it can be.  He’s just going off of what everyone else has told him, so he’s freaking out even more.

We had to make a trip to Walmart last night for some much needed items.  Yeah, Aunt Flo decided to come to town about the time all the other stores in the area closed!  Yay for me!  The store was absolutely dead, but on our way out we saw a group of 3 cars on the far side of the parking lot, and these people were setting up tents.  Yes!  In Walmart’s parking lot!

Of course, I thought they were just plain stupid.  Not only has it been freezing cold tonight, but come on people.  NOTHING is worth camping out in the freakin’ Walmart parking lot for.  Hubby on the other hand freaked out and decided if those people were camping out to be first in line then something was up, so he must be at the store by 4am to make sure he gets his damn tv.

He’s even figured out a game plan.  We go in, split up, and search.  As soon as one of us finds the tvs we sit on them and call the other person immediately.  Then we camp out for an hour or so until 5am rolls around and we can grab the first one.  Luckily Walmart here doesn’t make you wait outside like the one in Sleazely does.  There have been a couple times in the past we’ve gotten there early enough to camp out for things after Christmas, but never WAY early.  We always show up like 20 minutes beforehand and sit by the pallet of goods.

This morning I have strict instructions to drag him out of bed by 3am, so I’ve got right about 5 minutes before I have to go wake his ass up.  I knew there was no way I was going to go to sleep at 11pm and be up by 3am.  Once my head hits that pillow and I fall into dreamland I have to get at least 8 hours or the person waking me is going to be in some serious pain.

I know I’ll eventually sleep sometime today, and since our friend Dawn is working the early bird shift at Dunkin’ Donuts this morning I think we should be hitting her up for some coffee right about 6am.  There’s no way I’ll make it through the rest of the day if we don’t.

We’ve got other things we have to do this morning, then around lunch time I have to find time to come home and sleep.   My father-in-law’s band has a gig that we swore we wouldn’t miss, so I’m definitely not sleeping through it.  Ugh.  It’s 2:58.  I guess I need to go drag his ass outa bed.

Wish us luck!  Hopefully I’ll be watching the Clemson vs. South Carolina game tomorrow on my brand new 42″ lcd hdtv!
