Yea, No more shopping for Christmas

I miss the good old days, when I knew what I was shopping for. I asked my daughter in law what I should buy my son. She said he wanted an I Pod. What the hell is an I Pod. She directed me in the store to where they were. Only 78 dollars. It was the size of a fifty cent piece. Assuming anyone knows what a 50 cent piece looks like anymore. Debit card or credit card is all anyone uses.

Anyway you can download music to listen to on the I Pod when you are out running or walking. Nice; then someone can mug you because you have the fifty cent piece I Pod in your pocket and ear peices in your ears.

Well, I did not buy the I Pod but thought maybe I would give him a record of the Sons of the Pioneers singing Cool Water. Let him carry that around for a while.

Why did I get up this morning?

Why in the heck did I get up this morning? Traffic in downtown Phoenix was unbelievable. I thought I would never get to work or home. I was really hungry on the way home and I stopped at Taco Bell and got in the drive through and could not remember what the thing I wanted was called so I told them to forget it and I went to QT. The pop at QT went up to 96 cents I complained and a man who was also buying a drink tells me I should go to Guatemala that this is America and they can charge what they want. I decided to go to the drive through at Burger King and my window would not go down. I gave up and went home.

Dumbest thing I ever purchased

I saw this really nice gray sweater that would go with most everything so I thought I should get it since I did not have a sweater. I noticed it had two zippers, at the bottom. One went up to close the sweater and the other went up to open it if you wanted the bottom of the sweater opened a little. Looked kind of unnecessary, but I got it anyway. Well you just try zipping the damn thing up. You have to get both zippers just right or it won't even work. I get so mad trying to zip it that I am going to burn the damn thing,

Shop till you drop or someone kills you.

It is that time of the year where we all go shopping. NEVERagain. I went to one of the stores near my house and all I wanted was a rug I had seen the day before, it was the only one on the shelf, it even had a thread that was pulled out but it matched one I had at home and it was priced cheap. I picked up a couple of other small items and get in line, as I am waiting I notice there is no tag on the rug. I tell the cashier and she says I can't buy it. I said why, there is a sign with the price and it is the only one they have. She says I will show you. She switches off her light, there are five people behind me in line and she heads to the back of the store. I follow her. I show her where the rug was and she pulls one off the shelf that is not the same one but she says it is the same size and the price is twice as much as the sign had. I told her I did not want it. I beat her back to her cash register where everyone is gone but one man that is holding his baby and tossing his stuff back in the cart. I told him I did not know she was going to close the register, he just glared at me like it was my fault. She returns and rings my three items up takes my money and says nothing. All this over a rug. I get to my car and realize she forgot to give me one of my items. I head back into the store with my receipt, the minute she sees me she tosses the bag at me. I catch it and head out the door again. WHat the heck is going on. So much for Holiday Cheer. Oh yea, I will shop online from now on.

Good Morning Dear

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up at 3 am and think someone is opening and closing the kitchen cupboard doors. You reach for the phone and can't remember the number for 911. I hate that. You realize you must have been dreaming, then you can't go back to sleep. You cover your head with the covers and just as you are falling asleep you have a hot flash and throw the covers off and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. Then you get cold and have to cover up again. Now you can go to sleep and the alarm on his phone goes off in the other room so you have to get up to go shut it off and of course he doesn't hear it. Being the good wife you get up in the dark and hit the edge of the night stand and it hurts so bad that you have to yell and swear and darn you wake him up.
