At 3:15 A.M I heard a soft voice saying, "MOM???? MOM???? Wake up!" Then I felt a nudge from Terry! It was here already ! Our AFTER THANKSGIVING DAY FIASCO ! yes, we left the house 20 minutes later heading towards Riverchase Galleria!!! OH MY GOSH! The parking lot was almost filled up!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT EARLY!!!!!!!!!!! My first purchase was an early gift to Terry and me! AN ELECTRIC BLANKET!!!! WITH DUAL CONTROLS! I wonder how many I've had over the  years??? LOTS but haven't had one in a few years and I get COLD at night!!! So, that was my FIRST purchase! I got one for half price! HURRAH! Then, we were off and running! We did some major damage (mostly at the Disney Store where BTW, there were GREAT sales!!!) and we were FINISHED at the Galleria at SIX o'CLOCK in the morning! We headed out of the Galleria (and almost a fight over cars trying to get our spot!) and off we went to McDonald's for some HOT coffee and biscuits! IT WAS FREEZING TODAY!!!! We went to Michael's (not my son's house but Michael's CRAFT STORE) where I had a 25% off coupon and I got some stuff I needed for my boxes and cards. THEN off again. To Big Lots and Hobby Lobby and finally the grocery store! We were HOME by 9:30~! We were so excited to find Laura's grandkids bedspreads (that's what their mother wanted for them rather than toys) . We found 3 beautiful ones (1 left to go!) and Katie is completely finished with her shopping! I have a few more to buy for, but I'll finish next week. Hopefully , before Miss Daisy arrives!!!!! ......We had a great time yesterday. pix to follow tomorrow. I'm soooooooooooo sleepy (Katie already has crashed and is sound asleep on the sofa!) that I'm about to fall into the keyboard! YAWN!!! FUN DAY AS USUAL!
