I love Black Friday!

So earlier this week I hadn't ever heard of Black Friday. I've known for years that the Friday after Thanksgiving is a doozy--everyone getting up at the crack of dawn to go shopping for supposed great sales. Ryan's mom and I went together last year. We were entering the JCPenny parking lot at 5:15am (the store opened at 5am) and as we were parking there were already handfuls of customers walking out with full shopping bags. Insane!
Well, as you know, I've begun training to become an aerobics instructor. I've started subbing at church on Wednesday mornings and I get to try my hand at it at Chesterfield (the gym I belong to) Mondays and Fridays. Well, I'm getting enough practice in. I've been scoping out different associations to see which one I want to go through to get certified. One of my instructors recommended Fitour. So I went to their site and lo and behold they're having a sale on all certifications. Only $99 instead of the regular $299. Sweet, eh? Well, I didn't jump on it right away. In fact, I sat on it for a good 3 weeks. Then earlier this week I was thinking that I really need to get a move on and catch that sale so I went back to their site. At the top there were these blaring headlines: BLACK FRIDAY SALE! ALL CERTIFICATIONS ONLY $69.99!
What the heck is black Friday? I don't know, and quite frankly, don't care. All I really saw was that beginning Friday morning at 5am, they were going to have all certifications on sale--but only 500 were to be sold at that price. You better believe I set my alarm to wake me up by 6:30am! I infact woke up at 5:30 and went straight to my computer and promptly bought the study materials and practice tests (and then crawled right back into bed for another hour of sleep). They're being shipped as I write this. All I have to do now is study the manual and then get on my computer to take the test when I feel ready. I don't even have to leave the comfort of my home (All the other associations hold seminars that I would have to travel 3-4 hours just to attend and then take the test in some building). :) Yeah, yay for Black Friday. :)
