Camping out

Hubby has talked me into spending the night outside of the local electornics store. He bought a mini tent (but it's not water proof!), some heating pads (since I have raynaud's disease), and foldable chairs for when we get sick and tired of lying down or standing up in the tent. All this so we can be first (or at least, the first few) in line for the new s0ny game system. He's actually taking a few hours off from work so that we can secure ourselves the top xmas present for this year. And no, we're not planning to keep the toys for ourselves. No, no, hubby's more entreprenuerial than that. He's planning to sell em. We need to raise money to fund our trip to visit our parents and also to have a cushion in our savings for emergency. I don't know whether to feel excited or not. Sure it's going to be fun the first few hours of camping. But after that I think the diva in me will start to crave for the warm and soft bed at home and the comforts of using the bathroom at home. Actually, where on earth are we going to go if we need to use the bathroom? Hooo boy....

I do think however that this will be one of those things we'll look back and laugh upon when we're old and wrinkly. Anyway, why not take advantage of the materialistic ways of the people who live here? If they want to make the season about getting the most expensive toys instead of the r3lig0us aspects of it, so be it. After all we're not in that group of people. Plus we don't have children yet - so we don't have to worry about leaving them at home alone or with a babysitter while we spend the night outside the store. Gotta do it while we're young eh? And just thinking about how much we could possibly make (minimum $500) in profit is making me pretty excited.

You can tell that I'm trying to convince myself that this is a good idea and won't be a waste of time. We'll see what happens right? Maybe I'll even bring a camera and snap a few pictures.
