sunday grocery shoppers...

Let me just start by saying that I hate Sunday drivers. They're the worst - poking along in the fast lane, taking their god damned sweet time. Move outta the way, buddy and let me get to where I'm going, for the love!

However, today I discovered something worse. The Sunday grocery shopper. Today, in between trying to get all of my laundry done, make lasagne and finish my schoolwork (maybe the other things were a distraction, you think?) I had to go to Target and the grocery store. Target was fine - people are usually good about moving because chances are, they're stopping to get something specific too. I was on a mission for ornament hooks and was in and out in about ten minutes. The grocery store however, was not fine.

I honestly think that every grope happy couple and single mom with three kids was at Rainbow today. And they were always in front of what I needed to get at! Plus, it was Sunday evening, so they were restocking things...not forgetting that they were also OUT of a lot of things. It was pandemonium and I just wanted to get out of there and get home to make my lasagne and to get my stuff done. But oh no. I was at the grocery store for probably an hour and a half...for a list of maybe 20 items. (It didn't help that I had a hard time finding cranberries. Stupid cranberries, tucked away in between the lettuce and the radishes!) And then I had slow people in front me on my way home...it was annoying, needless to say. Thanks for listening!

On the happier note, I put up the Christmas tree today. It's not real and piney like the ones we had growing up, but it will do. I got some ornaments from both my mom and my grandma, ones that they weren't using, so it feels homey. Plus not everyone in the world will have the same ornaments that I have. And that the cats now have something new to chew on. Grr... I'm getting a squirt bottle.

Countdown to the end of the first semester: 2 class sessions. Wahoo!
