How will you spend your Thanksgiving break?
4:45 a.m. Time to wake up … ugh! Why do I do this to myself? Gotta jump in the shower real quick. Only one hour and 15 minutes until the stores open. Love Black Friday!
5:15 a.m. Looking in the mirror, all I can think is, "Girl, you look like the hot mess express just rolled through." Oh well. It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone. Now where are my leggings and boots?
5:25 a.m. I have to leave in five minutes, but I can't find the coupons I cut out last night! Where did they go?! Please don't tell me I threw them out.
5:35 a.m. Found them! Phew! Now off to Best Buy to get some holiday shopping done. The movies are always so cheap; I know I'll be able to find something for Dad.
6 a.m. The doors are opening! I hope I make it inside so that I don't have to wait out here any longer. It's so cold. I knew I should've brought my gloves … guess I'll just have to get some new ones while I'm out.
7 a.m. Finally! I never thought I'd get out of there alive. I mean, there are awesome deals, but do people really have to be so aggressive? I can already tell it's going to be a long day. At least I found the movies I was looking for quickly. Too bad I stood in line for the checkout for 40 minutes.
8:10 a.m. OK, now I'm really on my way to Herald Square. I can't wait for Macy's! I can't imagine what kind of crazies are there.
8:30 a.m. Oh gosh, I am in for a treat. I don't know if I can even find a way through the insane masses of people. Time to put my game face on.
8:45 a.m. I made it into the store! Aaahhh! This must be a dream! If only I had a camera to take a picture of this magical moment in Macy's — ouch! Someone just ran over my foot with their new luggage.
8:47 a.m. These purses are gorgeous, but I'm on a mission for shoes. Up to the fifth floor!
8:50 a.m. Umm … am I still in Macy's? It looks like a tornado just went through here. I'll just have to deal with it. I'll do any task and go through any obstacle in the name of fashion.
9:10 a.m. I just found the cutest boots! And they're not Uggs! Now if I could just find someone to help me get my size ...
9:20 a.m. They only have the shoe in a size 6 or 8? I'm a size 7! FML. Maybe if I creep around I'll find my size in one of the piles of boxes around here.
9:35 a.m. Victory! Some teenybopper just got done trying them on. I'm so gonna take them when she's not looking. Whoa … did I just say that? What's gotten into me?
10 a.m. I've got my boots in my hand as well as a cute pair of heels I found on the clearance rack. Life couldn't get much better.
10:45 a.m. Just found a coupon! Did I say I love Black Friday? I do. Perfect timing, especially since I just got to the checkout counter.
11:03 a.m. I'm officially out of Macy's. Ah, how nice it is to breathe fresh air again.
11:06 a.m. I see my love: H&M! I don't know what kind of deals they have going on, but do they even need any?
12:48 p.m. I spent more than hour and a half in there, and I went over my budget. Oops! I don't know how I'm gonna explain this to my parents. I need a boost; where's the nearest Starbucks?
1:13 p.m. I have a Tazo tea in one hand and three shopping bags with my purse in the other. How am I supposed to ride the subway back to my dorm? There better be a seat open.
1:45 p.m. I made it! No spills, no thievery, no slips or trips. Time for a nap! I'm going to need some major rejuvenation after that shopping trip. Maybe I'll check out SoHo when I wake up. Hmm … I can think about that later. Good night. I mean, good afternoon!
