Okay, first things first. I got a wild hair up my ass yesterday and joined Facebook. It seems kind of cool but also like it could be kind of time-consuming. So we'll see how long that lasts. It's another thing I can waste time with ;)

Second. I am almost finished Christmas shopping. I ran all over town today buying, buying, buying. At Target I purchased a very nice snow globe my along with a couple books and some other miscellaneous gifts. Well, the line at Target stretched all the way back to cosmetics and by the time I got to the register I was hot and ready to get out of there. When the cashier rang up the snow globe she just threw it in a plastic bag by itself. I thought about asking her to put another bag around it, but because it was so busy, I didn't. (You know where this is going, right?) I threw the snow globe bag inside of the bag that had a bunch of other stuff, including the books. Then I met up with "the mother" to pick up the kids from the weekend. And I didn't want them to see the bags in the trunk so I carried all the bags into the house myself.

And wouldn't you guess, the one bag I dropped was the bag with the snow globe in it. It shattered and immediately soaked everything else in the bag, including the two books.

So what do you think, should Target replace these things for me or is it my fault? I'm torn. And it was a terrible way to cap off a day of shopping.

Patience is a Virtue I Don't Possess

I've been trying to update my frickin frackin blog for 4 days now and I'm having some serious issues with blogger.

So, for the time being, you are all stuck with the Thanksgiving background and my stinky attitude.

My apologies - here's the short update.

We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving and the time off ended way too soon. I hate my job more than ever this week and I'm actually a little jealous that Val got to quit hers while I still have to suffer through mine. As stated above, I am not a patient person and am ready to move into the next phase of my life (that is a discussion for another post). We put our Christmas tree up, or should I say, I put our Christmas tree up on Sunday so I'm feeling all Christmasy and I want to sit in my living room and just stare at it all the time.

Okay, so that's all for now. I'm going to try and get this silly blog updated tonight and get a proper post up.....

Standby.
