Black Friday

Current Mood:

The day after Thanksgiving is the biggest sale day of the year. Practically every store will have their merchandise on sale. Some merchandise is so popular that people will line up outside the store at 3 in the morning so they can be the first ones in when the store opens at 5. This day is called Black Friday, because this is when many retailers actually earn profit for the year--or, to borrow an accounting term, "be in the black."

Were Steve and I part of the crowds this year? Are you crazy? Of course not :-).

Now we DID go out shopping today, but we went in the afternoon because the crowds had thinned by then (biggest sales are usually from 5am til noon). There was a sale on portable electronic drum sets. Steve used to play the drums in high school and I know he misses it. On one occasion, he bought drumsticks even though he didn't have any drums. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for us to get something that he really wants :-).

Oh you should've seen him when he started playing with it and messing with the controls--he was like a little boy on Christmas morning :-). Sitting on the desk chair, pounding on the drums, his tongue stuck out from the side of his mouth in concentration--it was the most adorable sight :-).

I bought a couple of things for myself too: a pair of jeans and a keyboard bench :-). Playing the keyboard on an office chair never really felt right :-).

Hey maybe sometime he and I can jam :-). That's a thought :-).
