Ramblings of a single chick...

You're a sweet little man...until you take my parking space!

Sometimes I just want to look at the world and say, "Really?!"
"Honey, did you really think those pants were a good idea??"
"Black tights under white shorts?? Really?!"
"I have two items. You have a full buggy. You're cutting in line?? Really?!"
"You saw me walking up to your checkout counter - you made eye contact!! - and you're putting up the 'Lane Closed' sign?? Really?!"
But the clincher today was the little man who stole my parking space...three times!!
I was trying to make a last-minute, two-minute mad dash to the Dollar Store to get something I needed to decorate for the Valentines Banquet at church tomorrow. (The Dollar Store is actually one of my favorite places to get stuff like that. I walk through Michaels to get ideas, then go to the Dollar Store to see if I can make my idea cheaper.) I figured I would be able to avoid the V-Day craziness there, since surely no one would be doing their sweetheart shopping for a dollar. Boy, was I wrong! (And let me take this moment to say - on behalf of all women everywhere - if you are getting your Honey Bunches a Valentines Gift from the Dollar Store, you are "El, Mr. Cheapo"!!!! ...probably soon to be "El, Mr. Single-o," too...)
