Black friday or Black Out rather?

Congratulations to those who made it through Thanksgiving. Whether it be the fact you made it through family dinner, didn't have to unbutton your pants half way through your meal, and or didnt gain 10 lbs throughout the day!

For some Thanksgiving is spent a little differently...
And by some, I mean G&B, the glorious creators (of the blog, not Thanksgiving).

(dirty old man anyone?)

The most special thing about not creating a Thanksgiving feast was the fact we didn't have leftovers.

Today I didn't wake up, open my fridge and realize I had to incorporate turkey into my 4 meal a day plan. Yes I, Griggs, eat 4 meals a day with joy. So, I didn't have scrabbled turkey eggs with cranberries on toast, or a leftover turkey sandwich on dinner rolls, or a literal "re-staging" of Thanksgiving dinner for dinner... and we all know how that goes, you take your first bite, it tastes pretty good. Then you reach that third or fourth bite, and you begin mashing your food together to create something new, so maybe your body could get excited about the fact your eating turkey for about the tenth time in less than 24 hours.

(I took the initiative in google searching leftover recipes for those who didn't do it for themselves... you're welcome.)

What does my Thanksgiving gobbling have to do with black friday, everything, yet nothing.

Midnight, really? Stores, you had to open at midnight because people couldn't wait until morning to shop? Blows my mind. I even wish I had some joke for those who religiously cut coupons, but I feel Black Friday "bargain hunters" are a step beyond deranged.

Don't get me wrong, I am one who will NEVER turn down shopping.  I am shopping constantly, or atleast thinking about it... or fashion. Yet, Americas largest shopping day, Black Friday, I have not once been apart of. Maybe because I don't get it? Or maybe because lines don't entice me? Could it be my lack of interest in saving an extra $2 on toilet paper as opposed to the $1 I'd save with a coupon? Probably. What is so significant about shopping at obscene hours? I have enough trouble getting proper customer service during regular hours, so why would I want to be neglected by employees who are working strictly for holiday pay?

Can I answer any of these questions, no. I can not. I am only allowed to judge those who do. Please let me know if there is something special I'm missing about Black Friday because I'm pretty sure the only thing we could've (rather should've) been doing at midnight last night, would be taking part in a little post Thanksgiving festivities...

CHEERS FROM G&B!
