Small glitch. Addison awoke and her kidney stone was acting up and she quickly downed a vicadin . . . she was not missing the greatest shopping day of the year. Nothing, I repeat nothing, will stop Adds from a shopping spree. Not even a painful kidney stone.
We had a strategy. It was fail proof. Operation shopping deals was underway.
At precisely 4:10am, MB and myself would drive, entering the mall from the back side to avoid traffic issues. We then proceeded to drop the girls off at Target, each with their assigned list of intended purchases. MB and I parked and hurried into said store. MB headed for a rendevoused with girls and I waited in the huge check out line limiting our wait. They obtained items and met me in line just in time to charge it.
Next stop Macy's for clothes. Lines were managable and we continued to leisurely shop.
At approximately 5:40am we headed for Gap where Shae, Addison and Courtney got in line for opening at 6:00am. They were 1,2,3 in that line. MB, Kelsey, Hope and I went to Starbucks for sustenance for all of us and returned to Gap at 6:10am to a swarm of humanity. It was awesome. We maxed out the register for items purchaseed and had to start another receipt.
Next stop was Harry & David where everything in the store was 25% off. Scott met us there for more damage to our charge card. Then on to Fred Meyer where we purchased socks, at a very good price I might add, and bought a vacuum for Kelsey.
Now home for leftovers, rest and more meds for Addison. It was 11:15am. You do the math. Major shopping spree and none of it was for Christmas, well Marybeth's was.
Rested and rejuvenated, Kelsey, Hope, Marybeth and I hit a specialty yarn shop that I adore. Yep, they all now knit.
We are Roderick.
