I think I'm onto something here!

We have this lovely HUGE window in our bedroom. It's amazing really. In fact, even though all of the houses in our subdivision have some sort of architecturally interesting feature, we are the ONLY house to boast the full size half-moon window.

Now, this sounds absolutely fabulous....however.... the custom blinds are only fit to the bottom main portion of the window. Which is best for aesthetics...it looks great. But this leaves the top portion of the window uncovered, thus letting all of the morning sunlight in far earlier than we would normally like. (We do have curtains that just need to be altered to fit...)

Soooo.....I've been up extra early the last two mornings. Trust me, this is not normal. We are not early risers if we don't have to be.

Anywho.... this morning I was up and out of bed by about 8:45 so I decided to make the most of it. I looked online to see what time Sobey's opened and luckily it is 10am on Sundays. So I got myself all ready, got my shopping list in order, and set out for my weekly shopping. After last Saturday afternoon I figure any time is better than that!

Boy, I hope I wake up early every Sunday! Shopping was glorious. No full parking lot. No shortage of shopping carts. No massive crowd of people getting in each other's way at every turn. The meat department was full and fresh. (The produce department could learn something from the meat department there though.) Most of the sale items were actually in stock and those that weren't....well, oh well!

I happily wandered up and down each and every aisle finding almost everything I needed without once getting angered by someone blocking the lane or chatting or anything. It didn't even bother me that I was going to have to make a quick WalMart and SuperStore stop to get the few things Sobey's didn't seem to carry.

OK, maybe I need to get out more. I'm a bit too excited about early morning shopping. haha. Besides, the chances of me getting up early every Sunday are really not that high. But we shall see!

ah, one of my favorite shopping times, when the really good are at church and when the really bad are still hungover in bed ;0)

OR like me super looser and shop Saturday evening, after 7pm or the Sunday thing... lol

NS FINALLY just approved Sunday shopping and now I am a HAPPY 9-5er! The only day I'd ever have time to shop was on Saturdays and I hated that. Sunday shopping is awsome and I hate the people who still whine about it! I agree about the produce sections...it seems like I can never get fresh basil...
