black friday...

Has anyone heard about 3 people getting killed because of Black Friday?? My first response, ashamedly, was to laugh, but then I thought about how twisted it really is...

Two men at Toys R Us shot each other, and a worker at Walmart was trampled to death by a surge of customers as he was opening the doors for them (CNN video). TRAMPLED. I don't shop on Black Friday because I think it exemplifies the disgusting commercialism of Christmas & I don't particularly enjoy pushy crowds - - now I'll be avoiding Black Friday shopping for more practical reasons - such as longevity.

Way to spread holiday cheer, America! Love, joy, peace & 24-hour deals!

Right now you might be wondering, "Rachel hasn't updated her blog in a few days. I wonder if it's because she's been watching the Olympics and has a crush on Michael Phelps?"

The answer is YES.

But don't worry, Doug has a crush on him too.
