. . . when they are getting up to stand in line on Black Friday for a must-have laptop for Miss Priss, that is…
- Why did I have children?
- Can’t she just put the desktop computer in her lap?
- No matter how much makeup you put on, at 3 a.m. your face looks like a potato.
- God it’s dark. The only people on the roads are drunks and idiots.
- And I haven’t been drinking.
- Heck. I thought I looked bad, but that woman must have thought she wasn’t going to see anyone.
- What was I thinking?
- I wonder if the Waffle House employee that ambled over here to see what all the fuss was about (and decided to stay in line for the remainder of his shift) actually clocked out.
- Of course he didn’t.
- Think he’ll go get me a coffee and hash browns scattered, smothered, chunked, and covered?
- Nah. He just went to sleep on the sidewalk.
- Little b*tch better remember this when I’m in diapers.
All is said and done now, and the new laptop – oooooooo, shiny – is safely at home. As am I. With leftover turtle cheesecake.
Ahhhh.

The diapers comment got me! My son likes to remind me that since he’s an only child, he’ll be solely responsible for the decision of my old folk’s home! HA!

Awesome! I’m so glad you got it – and got a yummy breakfast also!

Since we live in farm country (and are, apparently, sick), we like to order our WH ‘taters as “slaughtered and flogged’. (That means add bacon, extra messy).

Waffle House? We have a ton of them around here and have never been. Ack..if I would have known you were going for a laptop and go the kind of deal you did I would have had you pick up a few more.
Thanks for stopping by my place earlier today. It meant a lot.

My baby stood in line to buy an HP all-in-one for $30 (the same one I got for $89. She will have spent that extra $50 in cartridges in no time flat!!

Geez, I’m just glad you’re still alive to tell the tale. A worker at a Wal-Mart in New York wasn’t quite so lucky! Black Friday shopping is like taking your life into your own hands.

Braver than brave Ms Nerd, I hope it was a bargain. No amount of love OR money would get me queueing at 3am!
