ok so I shouldn't even post this but I will. I should have done this last year but here I go. Last year on November 17th yes that close to black Friday I went to bingo with my mother in law at a casino. during the 10 minute intermission I go to play the slot machines with my $27 dollars and curse myself and the little lady next to me who is laughing hysterically at me because I played a $5 bet. And I am sorry but I am a tight WAD!!! I always play 75 cent a roll and playing $5 really hurt my feelings considering I only had $27 to play/eat with, then my machine is locked up with this big golden lock on it and I am surrounded by 5 security people and one really nice lady who asks if I would like any thing to drink. Then my machine says jackpot winner. HA! So I just hit a jackpot and the whole time I am complaining about losing my $5 in one roll. The poor little lady next to me freaks out and starts screaming and hugging me and laughing me. I break out in hives and I don't remember much after that until BLACK FRIDAY!!! Yeah the time when I have to control myself not the I have $10,432.50 more to spend then I though I would have. I try very hard all night long to be good. I go to midnight madness at Waterloo, NY were the back door to my van will not shut so after fighting and ,making a scene I finally get it shut. I shop there until I feel just about dead and then I meet the rest of my party at Walmart in Watertown, NY and buy 2 big ride on toys. I go to open up my van and guess what the door will not open!! At first I am just laughing and the poor walmart boy with this ride on jeep and 4 wheeler is just looking at me is just like wow this woman is a nut. Then my cousin comes out to help me we finally get the door to open and I am so overtired (because who sleeps on black Friday) that I start to cry and hug her for getting my door open. I was sobbing it was hilarious. This little walmart guy says "wow usually people are mean to each other on this day I can't wait to tell the guys about you." so we all start laughing. I go back in to the store and find my mother so I can finally go home and she sees me and thinks something happened to me and hugs me so I have to explain to the whole party my embarrassing moment and then I leave to go home and go to bed. I felt so dumb but I was just so tired I hadn't slept in 2 days.

LOL! Seems like my best friend. He tells me everytime, "This is stupid, why are we running? I'm never coming back with you ever!" 20 minutes before I leave to get in line (usually around 4:30-ish) I call him up. "You wanna go?" "I'll be right over! I'll bring the generator, you bring the laptop, TV, and Game system." Never fails!
