Shopping on Black Friday....

... was totally awesome.

I clipped like crazy amounts of coupons, stuffed them in my pockets, dressed in jammies, woke up at 7 a.m. and headed off to Circuit City, where I got a front-row parking spot and saved like $200 bucks. No lie. The line wasn't even long.

No sarcasm here this time, really, I promise.

I was expecting lines, rude people, traffic, jostling and shopping rage, but there was none. I hit up the hot spots too, like Circuit City, Target, the Mall, the new outlets and my whole experience was pleasant. The whole time, everything was organized, calm.

That's why I was shocked to read later that a Wal-mart worker was trampled to death in NY when Black Friday shoppers broke down the doors and stampeded.
