Crazy Shopping

So, this I did something a little different I went with my sister in law and my co-worker friend Beth at midnight to the outlet mall in Gaffney... Now, for the past 2 years I have gotten up at 2 and gone shopping at Westgate mall (even though they to open at midnight). But they both wanted to go up there and I have never been so we took off on a fun event... Now even though the sales were not that great the main stores I wanted to go into you had to stand in line to get in there and then stand in line to check out it was worth all the fun we had...
This was after lunch now in pic later on you will see where they get this from..lol

We are in line waiting to turn into the outlet

Ok, so we came down 85 and the to get off the exit ramp it was backed up at least 2 miles so we thought we would be smart go down to the next exit and go down 11 through the back road guess what.. the line was just as long...

See now you can see where they get it from.. their mom...lol

Beth trying looking at the Wal-Mart sales paper to see if she needs to go there... ok, this girl is organize.. all the other stores she saw she wanted to go to she got a notebook and cut off the pic of the item and if there was a coupon, the name of the store and the hours it was good for and she taped them to the page so she just had to take the page into the store with her.. I think I am going to try this next year...

Yes, this is what you do when you know you are crazy to be out at this hour shopping...

my crazy partners in crime..lol

mine and Beth's trees fighting, by now it is 2:30 and we have not really brought anything just having fun.

So, we left the outlet about 4 and went on to Kohl's to meet my other crazy friend Denise... now Kohl's is usually my favorite place to shop I still didn't buy much here. My deal her was a huge throw blanket that is long and soft that is usually $40 I got for $7.99. We stood in line forever but it was ok we had fun still shopping, finding Denise phone that was down in the box of the blankets... From here we went through McDonald's drive thru and got the greasy biscuit and hashbrown they were so greasy I don't think really any of us ate all of it... On to Target now it is not 6:15 and boy was the lines long already when we got there.. I did miss out on getting the GPS I wanted from here but I got all the other things including all my movies for like $3.98 and $5 I wanted plus some.. I found Stephen's grab it and got the only time I saw it all day.. I think I am going to be glad I got it.. From here went to Shoe Carnival and Denise got a great deal on Sperry's I could not believe they were part of the buy one get one half and plus you could use your $10 coupon.. Then onto WalMart at about 8 got my movie deals I wanted and the smaller verison of the GPS I wanted at Target (this is a gift to me and Eric from his mom she gives us money on Thanksgiving to do our own shopping so this year we put our money together and the GPS and if you read my beach blog you know Eric is going to love this..lol) .. Then we headed to the mall I got some good deals on clothes for the boys here and we were able to get into the stores here that we couldn't at the mall... We stop at Garfield's and ate lunch the break was good but boy was it terrible getting up and moving afterwards... By the time we left and got home it was 2:30 in the afternoon we were all worn slap out, my body was hurting and even though I never got that nap I really wasn't sleepy just tired... Came home and separated all our bags out said goodbye to Beth (we had dropped Denise back off at her car before coming to my house) me and Susan went in put on our pj and veggie out for the rest of the day and night... That Greenville trip was shot cause we had enough for the day..lol... Saturday I was going to get up and either go to Greenville, go finish some shopping or go up and help Susan move somethings, pack or clean but I stayed on the couch all day in my pj watching lifetime movies and ABC family movies.. I did watch a little of the game GO TIGERS!!!!!!! It is 11:30 pm and I have moved from the couch to the bedroom to the computer and waiting on the boys to call for me to come and get them from the church, they have gone to OCC warehouse to help do the boxes.. Tomorrow I have a lot to get done I just pray that I will be rested up to have the energy to do it..lol... Will I do it again next year.. You betcha I will but I think it will be back to the old way and going to Westgate at 2am.... but I had a great time w/ my friends and it was worth every bit of it... They all got along great and really didn't even know each other until this crazy shopping day, hopefully we can just have a girls night or maybe even a girls shopping spree in TN after Christmas...
