Do you or don’t you?

Do you take part in Black Friday shopping?

Do you do this voluntarily?

Or do you stay home and enjoy the day?

I don’t recall voluntarily shopping on Black Friday. When I worked at a department store, I had to be there at 7:00 a.m. for the onslaught of shoppers. Of course no one then would believe people would actually get up that early and go shopping. But they came in droves. Now Black Friday begins at 12:01 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving and from what I’ve heard shopping takes a military strategist to plan the attack.

No thank you. There is nothing I want that badly to risk life and limb.

So do you don your armor and shop-till-you-drop?

I accidentally changed the look of my blog when I was trying out new themes and backgrounds. I will be working on getting all the pages, links, buttons, etc. back. Hopefully I remember what they all were!

Or maybe I’ll just refresh the blog with a whole new look!

I got shut off from the outside world on Monday.

It was just a temporary situation as two men came Wednesday to remove the broken glass.

I was surprised that they didn’t wear eye protection or gloves as they dismantled the glass shards. I know I wouldn’t be handling anything like that without something covering my eyes or hands. They didn’t have any idea why the glass broke either. Settling building? Temperature change? My shoe?
