Merry ^%$#*@^ Christmas

To be honest, I am titling this blog solely based on this picture :

I went to BEST BUY on Wednesday to look for something. I was in there all of 10 minutes, because of course, they didn't have what I was looking for, and when I came out, I was greeted with the excellent parking job you see here by the owner of this Infinity QX4 SUV. It's hard to tell from this picture, but basically they were parked about 4 inches from the driver's door of my Honda Civic. Needless to say, I could not get in my car. I was livid. I went back in the store armed with the license plate number, etc. and had them paged FOUR times. No one ever came to move the car. Finally, after waiting about 30 minutes at my car....I had some skinny girl that was coming out with her boyfriend, climb into the passenger side and back my car out for me. Let's face it, this bod was not designed for that kind of maneuver. So people, if you are going to be out shopping, LEARN TO PARK !!!

OK, so that is all about that.

Wednesday, I met my friend Charles for shopping first thing in the morning so he could finish his shopping for his family. I think I am a personal shopper to all my male friends, you know who you are. We had lunch at RED ROBIN which I had never been to and was very good for a "gourmet burgers" joint. Basically, the rest of the day Wednesday and all day Thursday were devoted to finishing my Christmas shopping, of course I went overboard this year. Also, had some dinner and trivia at the No Frills Grill one night which was nice. And, I did find the elusive RED wrapping paper at Hallmark. But, of course, I have a beef with it. If I am going to spend the money to buy wrapping paper at HALLMARK, I expect it to be good, sturdy paper. It was not. Two of the presents I wrapped with it, I could see the packaging right thru the paper. So no surprise for those recipients if they look hard enough. I had to use two layers on one package for my nephew so I knew he wouldn't see what the present was.....grrrrrrr ! I'm just saying, Hallmark, get your act together with your paper. We are wrapping them so they will be a surprise, so I shouldn't be able to see thru the paper. Duh !

More tomorrow with family travel updates, etc. and my journey for the holidays. And Season, just FYI, since my whole family converges at my sister's house, we like to wrap our presents basically with the same paper or at the very least, a theme, so we can tell them apart, in other words, what came from who, etc. It's a goofy tradition, but we all do it.

Not that I endorse defacing other people's vehicles but, I can't stand it when people park all retarded. Some people need tough love. Next time you might want to slap one of these bumper stickers on the offending vehicle and then submit the picture.

Glad you found kind of the same wrapping paper you were looking for!

Ewwww! It is difficult to believe that this person thought everything was a-okay. Either completely stupid and/or clueless or flawlessly arrogant. W-H-A-T-E-V-E-R!!!
