Early this morning (day after Thanskgiving), about 5:48 to be exact, a soft knock on the door awoke me-" Mom, aren't we going shopping?" My daughter had been awake since 5, and gotten dressed. "Sure, give me a minute" My honey growled" and shut the GD door, I'm sleeping".
Ever try getting dressed after you just woke up? Went into the bathroom/ walk in closet, rummage for some clothes...oh, the hell with it, this top and these pants and these sandals; look into the mirror-YIKES- bedhead, unravel knotted hair, brush hair, wash face throw on some minimal makeup ( foundation and lipstick) "OK, Im ready"
We arrived at the mall at 6:30- and had to circle the parking lot to find a spot. Lines in some stores from front to back, so we avoided those...finally home again at the late hour of 9:30...and now we are heading out again!!! Honey saw an ad for a 37" TV he just has to have "Honey, its HALF price, cri-min-ty!"

My daughter is in her 30's and married; she wanted to go to get somethings for her husband. I ended up taking them both, because he didn't know where the Home Depot is around here and I think just wanted me to drive so he could fill up the backend of my Jeep Grand Cherokee w stuff- and he bought stuff. He is a carpenter, and so he bought a ton of tools and the like.
Later that day I went to see about the TV mentioned by HB, thinking it would be a goood gift idea, and found(1) the store had 6 and (2) the line for the TV had 100 people in it- and no rainchecks, they showed me the ad which said limited to stock on hand. That just ain't right I tell ya..
