No, not back-fat. It means I'm back from the ThxGiving holiday and fat from all the overeating. I believe there were at least 12 pies made on Friday over mom's house. Ridiculous? Yes indeed. Since I had never braved the entire black Friday before, I decided to join in. Dad & me went to observe, not become one of the yelling moms(we called those people "retards" for short) that "had" to get their kids what they wanted for Christmas. Despite the madness I seemed to laugh most of the time over the moms/dads that are for some reason enslaved into getting their children exactly what they want, NOT need. Just the thought of a grown woman yelling at some poor Walmart employee over how long she had been standing in line for is ridiculous, but seeing it first hand is entertainment. If I do decide to go again next year, I'll bring a bag of popcorn and a chair for the entire show.
After getting out of there we headed to Best Buy. I ran across two friends that were in fact heading up the sales for the store...so the hookups were made for my dad's buying frenzy for that shiny LCD he actually did need for his computer. Thanks to Paul & Jeff.
Not to self(and anyone that is still sane)...in the future, don't sell yourself to the commercialized holiday madness for the sake of a lame "must-have" gift that someone doesn't really need...and for the sake of their spoiledness. The $1.8 billion spent on Friday could've been put to better use. Shame on us Americans!

Correction: $10.295 billion is the actual sales for the retail stores.
