The alarm was freaking out si I pulled fuse on alarm. and she came back to life. But driving home was not awesome waiting for it to die again. Any ideas? Suddenly after sitting and 60K miles it needs an Alternator?

It sounds to me like a loose connection somewhere, positive wire grounding out, or possibly a bad ground.
When you pulled into the parking lot and it lost power, was there something specific that caused it? For example, turning left(or right), or went over a speed bump? I had the most irritating problem with an old Sentra, replaced the alternator, the battery (which probably all needed to be done anyway), and it turned out that a positive wire running under the battery tray had worn through and was grounding out on the body of the car.
Good luck, let us know what you find.
