in a mood (you are warned)

I feel rather bah humbug-ish right now. Not good. Just in a bitchy-my-stomach-hurts-it's-too-cold-I-want-this-stupid-tree-out-of-my-house mood. It sucks. Let me count the ways:

#1 The cold. It is cold, and I hate the cold. Six to ten inches of snow due tonight. If I never saw this crap again it would be too soon.

#2 Okay, I'm sorry, but I have to complain about our older population. You know who I am talking about. The ones who can no longer see over their steering wheels, doing 5 miles an hour down the middle of the street, or driving the freaking Mario Andretti. They are parking their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle, taking four hours to compare Raisin Bran and Crunchy Raisin Bran, and when you say "excuse me", they look at you like you just farted on them. They are having to have a full days conversation with the check out person, or deciding that that strawberry they just bagged ten bags ago wasn't the one they thought, so could-you-please-go-back-and-take-that-one-off-I-will-be-right-back-with-the-right-kind. I only came in for milk and egg rolls...I will never get home.

#3 Shopping. I officially, totally, down deep in my soul HATE shopping. It sucks with a capital S. Where are all the idyllic small town settings that they show in "It's A Wonderful Life" or "Miracle On 34th Street"? Red and green lights blinking. Ho-ho-ho-ing and ringing bells. Laughter and skipping, jolly merriment and smiles. Snow that apparently makes no one cold, wet or dirty. I live in the world of pissed off old folks, assinine children, stupid parents, sales clerks who would rather eat glass than do their jobs. Top it off I am B R O K E. The only store I have seen the inside of since July is Meijers and they are the butt end of stores.

#4 Christmas decorations and music. Tell me something. Stores start putting up Christmas stuff in October, which annoys the living crud out of me. Christmas music blares everywhere why we are stuffing a Thanksgiving turkey. Why? Why why why? This is even dumber. I went today (to the aforementioned butt end store) to find a stocking to put some gifts in I purchased for a friend. Guess what? THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING RID OF THE CHRISTMAS STUFF! No stockings. No ornaments. No packaging. There is still a week until Christmas so, naturally, it is time to put it all away. Who are these morons??

I'm sorry, but I am tired of it all. Believe it or not, I am the smiling oh-I'm-sorry-can-I-help-you-find-something-have-a-Merry-Christmas girl. I smile, they scowl. I smile more, the scowl more. It's cool. The more you smile at people, the more pissed off they get. I think it is some kind of sadistic joy for me. I then come home and lose it lol.

I read an article on Yahoo talking about what foods not to eat when you go to the mall because they are bad for you. I never get to go to the mall but guess what? If I go, I am going to eat the bad food. All of it. Cinnabon, Sbarra pepperoni pizza, Panda Express Orange Chicken (not all at once all together...yuck). That is what it is there for. If I want to eat healthy, I just won't eat it lol.

Okay,that's all for now. I feel better. Don't you?
