I thought I was only going to be gone for a couple hours, but my last-minute shopping turned into a 6 hour shopping fest.

...and yes, I went to the mall.

I really had no choice. My dad called and asked me to find him a last minute gift for someone and he was pretty specific. The only place I could get it was at the mall. So, being the dutiful daughter I always am (ha!) I got over my fear of the holiday mall craziness and went there, fearing the worst. But today, the light of the parking gods shone on me. I turned into an aisle just in time to catch a car coming out of its space a mere three spots in front of the mall.

Not only that, but pretty much EVERY place I went to I got lucky and was no more than 5 parking spots in front of the entrance, with two of them being right in front of the stores. To spread the "good parking" love, after shopping I made sure to find cars that were looking for spots and point them to my rock star parking spots. I even helped out a woman who got shafted on a spot when another car took the spot she had been waiting for - lucky for her, my spot was better than the spot she had her eye on!

So I'm thankful for this early Christmas present. I should have waited this long to buy presents, and I'm thankful that I haven't been punished for it!

...of course, now that I've mentioned this, I'm NEVER going to find a parking spot again!
