Today is Black Friday. \u00a0Lots of places have early bird specials to entice people to come in to shop. \u00a0I vowed years ago to never do the early Friday shopping and held strong until today. \u00a0My buddy Joel told me about Barnes & Noble having a Black Friday special where they were selling a bunch of signed books and I was interested in a few. \u00a0I picked out the ones I wanted last night and set my alarm for 5:15am so I could arrive there at 6am when the doors opened. \u00a0I got there about five minutes before 6 and the place was dark and locked up and not a soul in the parking lot. \u00a0I checked out the sign on the door and it said they opened at 8am. \u00a0Man, my first time doing Black Friday and I screwed it up! \u00a0I drove home and decided to lay down and if I got up at a decent time to go back I would go. \u00a0I could not fall back asleep so I was able to get up and this time the kids both wanted to go so we all headed back to Barnes & Noble and arrived just after they opened the doors. \u00a0I picked up the following signed books:
\n2 Hillary Clinton
\n2 George Bush
\nFifty Shades of Grey Trilogy (EL James)
\nVampire Lestat (Anne Rice)
\nYes Please (First Edition- Amy Poehler)
\nThe Very Fairy Princess Sparkles in the Snow (Julie Andrews)
\nI called Joel on the way out of there and told him what I got and he said he bought five of the Bush books and said that I should get more. \u00a0Amy and I went out shopping about a half hour after I got home and I decided to go back and ended up picking up three more Bush books and one more Hillary Clinton book. \u00a0My intention is to keep a Bush and Clinton and eventually sell the rest… maybe when Clinton announces she will run for office.<\/p>\n
When I got home I got an envelope I sent to Matt W (invctrl on SCN) and in it was a Kyle Gibson 2013 Topps Update card. \u00a0I mailed one to Kyle during the season but he did not sign it for me so I went another route. \u00a0Matt sent it to me for free although I did send him some money for a latte. \u00a0Thanks Matt!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
