Pet Peeves--Holiday Edition

Four words. Bath and Body Works.

Oh, dd, I you, pal. I really do hate that place this time of year--hate it. Can you believe I was in 3 of them today...! Looking for something for Girl Pea, couldn't find it. I always wonder how I end up spending so much time in a store I can't stand.

Looked for a FN parking place for 15 minutes. Went in. Smelled all the stuff. Saw the line. Left. :angry:

Oh and, backatcha!

If one more person says, "Wow...you look really tired...!" I will stab her/him in the eye. :angry:

RU seepy? Tell us how you really feel, gull?

I just tell them that if they spend more than $500 on me I'll feel bad.

I think I'll go with that response next time...I bet they won't ask again!:funn:

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:

I stopped by the local rinky-dink mall today to buy a couple of other things. I figured it would be a piece of cake at 2:30 on a workday, but I could just barely find a parking place. The place was absolutely packed. I almost turned around and went home, but figured it would only get worse between now and Monday. That was the bad and the ugly.

But as soon as I got out of the car, I ran into my old piano teacher's daughter, and then I saw one of my old Young Life kids (whose mother was my typing teacher in the ninth grade, and whose aunt was the first and only teacher to send me out in the hall!) and then I saw another old family friend--she actually graduated from high school with my mother, and I crashed my bike in front of her house when I was six and knocked a permanent tooth out. Then I spent another ten minutes talking to a family who used to live up the road from me.

My little town is getting crowded, which drives me crazy, but there is something truly wonderful about going to the local rinky-dink mall and seeing that many people in the space of 20 minutes who have been part of my life for the last 30 years.

Christmas really is pretty cool.

I'm happy for you for having such a nice holiday experience. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

What a touching post!
