Dude, I'm not crazy.
Sis came and picked us up at like 10am-ish, and went straight to Circuit City where we were lucky enough to snag a parking space as some really happy guy was pulling out.
We walked in, pushed our way through the crowds of the insane shoppers, and found a red-shirted clerk.
I asked him a simple question, "Do you have any of the Acer desktops that were on sale for $229, left?"
He gave me this look like I was out of my frigging mind, and said "We've been open since 5am."
So, do you have any left?
"We've been open since 5am, we're lucky we have anything left, but no, not that."
So we left and headed to Denny's for breakfast.
But look, I am not one of those completely insane people, who wake up at 2am to stand in a line at a store that opens at 5am.
Why do stores do that anyway?
It's their fault that people get up before the sun, it's their fault they have nothing left to sell during oh my gosh! normal business operating hours, don't look at me like I'm the one off my rocker.
Seriously, I know it's the one day of the year that companies do really freaking awesome, but come on, order enough freaking product to at least last you to noon you idiots.
Don't offer amazing deals and then stock only 10 of them.
Arrgh.
They did have tons of other stuff though, pink xbox 360 controllers, like a zillion of those, stacks upon stacks of tv utility carts, thousands of copies of Guitar Hero III, but no Acers, and actually, their computer section was pretty much wiped out. I didn't even see any display units on the shelves.
So yeah anyway, we went to Denny's and met up with my sister's friend Henata for breakfast.
I cannot believe how much food that little cutie pie pictured there ate.
That is Skye, and this is what mommy ordered for her, and what she finished completely.
3 kid size pancakes, 2 strips of bacon and 2 sausage links.
That was a kids meal!
Then she saw what I ordered and wanted to "help Aunty Kat eats it."
I ordered the meat lovers breakfast which is 2 eggs over easy, hash browns, 2 bacon strips, 2 sausage links, 1 small ham steak, and a 3 stack of pancakes.
Sebastian took my bacon and sausage, all 4 pieces, Skye ate over half of my ham and 80% of my hash browns.
I ate my eggs, the other half of the ham and hash browns, and then decided to try and eat some of the pancakes.
Skye kept asking to "help" me, so I kept giving her bites.
I asked her mom if it was ok, she said it was, and between Skye and myself, we almost finished the stack.
I looked at this tiny 3 year old who asked if there was more "meats and hashes", and said to her, "Skye, where did you put all that food?"
She gave me a super puzzled look and then said,
"In my mouf Aunty Kat."

Ah, I'm sure if you read my last blog post you would be shaking your head and calling me f-ing psycho! lol I didn't wake up at 2am to get my laptop from Office Depot....I camped out in front of the store from 9pm to 6am. XD I was the first one in line too, though just barely.
Circuit City wasn't that far away from us, and they were camping out pretty early to. I think they started getting there around midnight. Yeah, 10am Kat? No way were ya gonna get anything then. :(
Best Buy did this stupid thing that really messed with people. On their ad they had it mentioned that they would hand out special vouchers for online stuff and front cover ad stuff to people in line at 3am. Limited of course. When I went to stand in line at Comp USA at 6pm, that was going to open at 9pm on Turkey-day and for which there was already a line, people were already lining up at Best Buy. Tents and everything, hunkered down for the night. I think there at least 20 in line at that location. It was really bad.
But hey, camping out can be a fun experiance and I got exactly what I wanted. ^_^ Happy all around!
