You nutters.

By BETH WHEELOCK Friday, November 26, 2010 - 4:48 a.m.

This morning at 3:45, I shivered as I tried to get the key to turn in the old Buick's door.

"Must...clean...garage," I mumbled between chattering teeth.

But driving in to work, I passed at least ten cars headed out for Black Friday. Holy dedication, shoppers! I'm curious, what sorts of deals did you score on this wintry morning?

Is it worth getting up this early or--yikes--spending the night camped outside??

Steve Knox, I'm looking at you.

Woke up at 7:45 am in Mom's house to the smell of breakfast. Lesiurely breakfast chatting with the folks.

9:00 am drive from Antigo to Wausau.
9:45 am enter Kohls find the Shark Pet Vaccum I wanted (8 left) for $150 off, stick blender, and chi tea.
10:15 am enter Walmart find the $400 HP desk top my brother wanted (12 left)
Head back to Janesville! I just don't know if it is worth it to get up that early. Only missed one thing we were looking for ane we got sleep in.

I've always thought I'd make more money taking around a pickup truck full off hot coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts from 3am to 6 am.

I talked to a number of people who were going to start shopping at midnight.

It wasn't me. I was home in warm bed. Also glad I don't work in radio. THOSE folks get up in the middle of the night all the time
