I got it!

I've been patiently waiting since my birthday in September to get my present. I really wanted a great sale to justify how much the Cricut machine costs. I did a lot of looking and comparing- on Black Friday I got up at 4:00am and headed out to Walmart. It probably wasn't a necessity, but why risk missing out on a $199 Cricut Expression w/ 2 cartridges. So I got up.

I figured it wasn't a big ticket item so I would get there as the store was opening, head on in, grab it. Run to Target to get a few cheap DVD's because I was already up. My morning went better than expected. I ended up getting to Walmart early at 4:20am. They were so nice and letting people in the store. You could shop around (except for big ticket items) and check out starting at 5:00am. I got all I wanted (and then some)m waited for 5:00am to check out. Cashiers started ringing up at 4;55, I was back in my car with my nice new present by 5:01 am.

Okay, so here is the part that didn't go that great. Target didn't open until 6:00am. So I had to wait. I could have been one of the first 5 people in line if I chose, but I decided to wait in the car. I did go grab breakfast of champions (chocolate donuts) from Walgreens. Around 5:45 I went to stand in line, but mostly so I could dance around as I was dying to use the bathroom. Once they opened the doors I went to the bathroom and then went and grabbed my DVD's. Score! I got Gilmore Girls Season 7 for $13.98- that and season 6 is what Abby is giving me for Christmas. I got some other movies, some as low as 3.98 but more importantly Sleeping Beauty and 101 Dalmatians for $12.

I checked out and headed back home. I was home by 6:45am. I let Ern sleep in and hung out with Abby and he was nice enough to let me take a nap later in the day. We seriously stayed in our JAMMIES the rest if the day too.

Oh, sorry for the long story- one more GREAT bonus. On cricut.com there is a link for 2 free cartridges (well $7.95 processing fee) when you buy a Cricut Expression between October 15, 2008 and December 15, 2008. Count me in!

I also picked up another cartridge at Michael's for $30.

Um, another post no pictures. I'm getting bad at this picture thing!
