Tis the Season
Aunt Bob has been trying to avoid the dreaded Christmas shopping crowd. The problem with that is I now have to go to the grocery because the fridge is empty. So off to Wal Mart and Meijer I went.
What a frightening experience that was!
I encountered the usual traffic and crowded parking lots, and expected crowds of people in the stores. But not at anytime did I see the Christmas spirit in anyone.
No smiles or kind nods. Everyone walking around like they were being beaten.
People pushing and shoving, and just out right rude.
I was in the self check out line and the lady in front of me actually started yelling at the man in front of her because he was bagging too slowly. Then she proceeded to yell at the attendant because the computer wouldn't take her coupon. I secretly celebrated when the attendant told her her coupon was expired.
Now all the kids are out of school and the parents are shopping with kids in tow. Oh how awful that is. I think there should be a leash law for kids under 12. The parents just let them run wild and do whatever they want.
I am a nice person by nature, but find myself wanting to go off on these rude people. I bite my tongue and move on. It probably would do no good anyway.
I have to go back out in the chaos today. I vow to go out of my way to be nice to people. I promise not to call anyone "Bitch" even if they are. Lord help me for I am weak.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Madonna at the Superbowl. Get over it.
The NFL has announced that Madonna is going to be preforming during half time at the 2012 Super Bowl. They picked an American Icon that everyone recognizes. And the negative reactions start.
I don't like her... boo hoo hoo
She is to slutty... boo hoo hoo
We want country music... boo hoo hoo
She's not from Indiana... boo hoo hoo
The locals did the same thing when they picked Donald Trump to drive the pace car at the Indy 500. They freaked out when ZZ Top was picked for the Indy 500.
The Catholic church claims she is blasphemous.
There is no way to put on an event such as this and please everyone. The only other solution is to clear the field and stare at the lines in the grass.
Get over it people. Its a concert that last 30 minutes. It does not change the world.
Just saying.
