An entertaining holiday story

I'm at my best friend's house. I love bff...no no no get your head out of the gutter. I just love her cuz I got so insanely pissed today and then I called her and she laughed really hard at me and now I'm better. You too can laugh at the ridiculous time I had at Hallmark....I hate the holidays.

I had to work from 8a-Noon. No big deal. It was nice and quiet. Judy was the manager today. I don't work with her much. She looks like she's had some work done. Oh well. Once again, I was my own boss. Everyone drives her nutz so I took the nice approach and was just quiet and helpful. I left and life is good. Well last night mom kept saying the only thing she wanted to do today was to go to Maria's Hallmark cuz they sent her a catalogue. Fine, I came home from work and ate lunch and then with some drama as usual, we left. Mom kept complaining that her legs were killing her and she wasn't gonna be able to walk around in Hallmark. I just yelled and said it was all mental and she was wasting her energy being negative and to shut up :) I'm so nice to mommy.
I drop her off at the door and go park on the other side of the lot. I'm listeing to the radio and being nice and warm and happy. I figure I will give her a few minutes to shop ahead of me. I walk in about 5 minutes later and she's just standing at the door. My frist thought was crap they don't have what she wants and she's pissed and has been wating, oops. No, she's at the door cuz that's as far as she got and won't go shop cuz her legs hurt. It got me very upset. I don't want to do her shopping for her cuz if someone wants their personal touch on something they need to do it themselves. She's like 'on this page i want this, and on this page i want this, use your credit card to pay, where's the keys." Grrrrrrrrrr! Stupid bitch. She goes to the car to sit down.
Well since I was pissed I was rushing trying to hurry and find what she wants and get the hell out of there. Now, most of you may know what it's like in a Hallmark store, loaded with expensive and breakable crap, not much room to walk, 10 billion ppl with noplace to go, etc. Of course, they don't have what mom wants. I realize I"m pissed so I'm sure I'm just missing it. I look again. I go over by the front window where the cards are and there is a lady there looking at cards. She's perfectly in the middle of the isle, you can not get around her. I make an attempt to ssssqqqqquuuuueeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzeeeeee past her. BIG MISTAKE. I bumped into a banner hanging from the celing which knocked over some little x-mas trees and they all hit the floor, nothing broke luckily. The lady never moved, didn't take a step back or forward. I must admit I never said "excuse me" "con permission" or anything, but duh, get out of my way. I make an attempt to pick up the little trees, but the stupid lady STILL WOULD NOT MOVE and so I got really pissed and jumped up without cleaning anything and started to go around the card isle, I felt my head hit all the windchimes and suddenly there was a huge commotion of chimes, I must have hit every single one of them, AND I DIDN'T STOP MOVING. I charged around the corner and went around the other side of the cards. I wasn't in control of my legs, I just kept getting mad and kept moving forward. I went to where the trees were on the ground and somehow managed to keep from knocking that bitch over and screaming YOU COULD HAVE MOVED!!!! I cleaned up my mess and got the hell out of that store and went to the car. Jesus!
Mom was not happy, we fought the rest of the day, ugh! I was still pissed when I got home so I called bff and told her this story and she laughed hysterically at me like I do to her whenever she talks about her family lol. She and I went to dinner at Bennigans and they were so speedy it was insane. We should have tipped more than $2 hehe. Oh well we were smart. I dont know what that comment means but soon I will be playing Sims and I am happy lol.

    Ridiculous time, huh? How did you survive? You move pretty damn fast lol
    Just kidding ;)

    I guess it's pretty easy to rush around and try to get everything done. You become sort of like more mad if people or things block your way. lol I mean, some people are so mean and totally evil. Just standing there. Not moving. lol Hey, don't get stressed out. :)

    Chick humor totally rocks ;)
