I know, I can't believe it's just around the corner. It will be here before we know it. Hard to believe it's already 1/2 way through Aug.

Last year was my first real big experience with Black Friday. You can really score movies for dirt cheap prices. I have shunned movies all year long now because I know I can buy them cheaper on BF. lol! So now I'm just waiting!

Okay guys I have 5 kids and every year we either don't do black friday, even though I really want to, or we pack all of the kids up and take them with. I am thinking I should get up and go by myself and get some great xmas presents. I love black friday any advice?
