3 a.m. ....... peaceful bliss!!!

I used to wonder who in the hell would ever go and shop at 3 in the morning. Hmmmmm, I think I now know. Saturday at 2:30 my alarm rang, I jumped out of bed, woke my mother. Off we went, in a snowstorm I should throw in, to Wal Mart. All I have to say, it was a magical experience. Something like seeing Cinderellas castle for the first time I would imagine. We parked RIGHT IN FRONT, walked in IN OUR JAMMIES and shopped our asses off. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but as any Mom of small children would tell you, shopping in Wal Mart with them just before Christmas is impossible. We didn't have to wait in line. Zipped right thru, fantastic. Then since we had the bug, we went to the 24 hr Sobeys up here. Yet again, another magical experience. Then because the forces were with me, Tim Hortons in North Bay was 24 hr too. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Then we came home to sleeping children and husband.

I could so shop with you and your Mom! Welcome back. I miss you when you're gone!

Funny bit. A kind of being single moment!

I remember nighttime shopping when I would go to Harvard Square and the all night coffee shop and bookstore. It was before the stores you mention so it was a rare oasis for a night owl.
