Here I am . . . All ready for the big day tomorrow!

Looks into audience as though listening, then reacts in shock

What day you ask?
Duhhh!
Well, today is Thanksgiving Day, does that give you a clue?

shows frustration

Look if today is Thanksgiving Day, what is tomorrow gonna be?

smiles, nods head

Exactly! . . . Black Friday!
The day all Americans celebrate the season, saving lots of money spending money we don’t have!
Last year, Black Friday, I saved, I figure, about five hundred bucks.

looks into audience as though listening

Of course I remember what I got; most of it is still on my credit card.

looks into audience as though listening

Yeh, so maybe it has cost me a bunch of interest, but no way in these tough times I can buy unless the stuff is on sale, that’s a fact!

looks into audience as though listening

I bought all kinds of things, sales were great!
Bought a new 62 inch TV.
A knockout swim suit . . . I tell ya, I was some hit on the beach this summer!
Can’t wait to see what’s on sale tomorrow.

looks into audience as though listening

No I don’t have anything special in mind, just bargain hunting.
Maybe a new computer.
And they always have great sales on TV’s. . . You should see the great 80 inch TV’s at Best Buy!

looks into audience as though listening

No, nothing wrong with the TV I bought last year but . . . it’s like 62 inch!
You gotta watch and not keep electronics too long, next thing you know they start nickel and dimeing you to death, repair calls are murder, expensive.
