My bride is MIA and I haven't seen her on-line in days, so I'll just assume she left town for the holiday and either she didn't tell me, (yes, I am that important), or more likely, she told me and I forgot.
So, in the spirit of the season, and since I have no new bridal news to impart, I have decided to take this moment to discuss all I find wrong during this time of year.
1. Black Friday. Who invented Black Friday? Seriously. I have no recollection of it growing up. My family always went shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but it wasn't called Black Friday and I don't remember people waiting in lines at 3 am for small appliances from Walmart and stuff.
2. people who wait, way too close, for my parking spot. Sure, I still have two kids to corral and a cart to unload, and I can't find my car keys, but wait for me anyway. And then make sure you are close enough that no one else would dare think the spot is up for grabs, and I can't back out without checking my rear view mirror twelve times and doing some weird 40 point turn. Better yet, stalk me while I walk to my car. You know who you are...slowly creeping behind me, refusing to pass me. Almost like a strange parking angel, guiding me to safety, but with ulterior motives.
3. "stocking stuffer" end caps at various stores. Tell me one person who wants a manicure set, an itty bitty flashlight, or a tire gauge. Tell me.
4. check writers. Maybe as you dig for your AARP card, you could also start filling that check in...and why do you write so slow? Are you block printing? Wait...are you balancing your ledger right here, at the register? You don't even have carbon copy checks?
Joyeux Noel!
