What is your Black Friday plan of attack this year?

Target and TwitterMoms ask What is your Black Friday plan of attack this year?

I have been going Black Friday shopping every year since 2001. I love it! Now I have never gotten into the camping out the night before or fighting over some TV. I still do pretty well. My plan of attack is.

1. The ads are already on the internet. So I can game plan way in advance. I already know what stores I want to go to now.

2. Plan your schedule, which never used to be an issue until now. Some stores start at midnight on Thanksgiving!! It makes it a little easier to hit more than one store but also makes it harder due to "lack of sleep"

3. Divide and conquer. If you are shopping with a friend or family member, split up and cover more ground.

What scent defines you??

The folks at Downy and Twittermoms asked the question "If you could define yourself with a scent, what scent would represent you and why?"

This question is easy for me. My absolute favorite scent of ALL time is vanilla! I LOVE vanilla. I buy vanilla candles, vanilla perfume, vanilla lotion. I used to wear vanilla extract from The Body Shop. Everyone would always say I smelled like chocolate chip cookies.

Why do I love vanilla so much?? I don't know for sure. I am allergic to many flowery scents, so I tend to stick to food scents. I also guess if reminds me of baking with my mom when I was little too. I used to love to bake chocolate chip cookies from scratch with her.
