I left here this afternoon at 4.....went to Dollar Tree for less than 10 minutes and took me 20 minutes to drive 1 mile to the interstate.
Went to Sam's....it was packed, only had 2 in front of me in line when I went to check out.
Drove across the parking lot to finish grocery shopping at Walmart...
....dug in my purse to call home as it's almost 7. Took my wallet out, laid it on the console....and didn't realize I left it there until I went to pay for my groceries.
God looks out for idiots...ran to the car and it was still there.
Headed down the pike to Kroger's to get what I couldn't find at Walmart.
Saw a Krystal's and decided I
had to have a couple of chili cheese pups...
to help the trauma of shopping in Walmart with half the population of the western part of the county. (the other half were at the mall)
Since there was a Food Lion in the same parking lot, decided to run in there.....found bread flour (Walmart was out).....no frozen tart shells. Go to self checkout....do the cards, 1st bag of flour, stick my thumbnail through the second one.
I just stuck the damn thing in a bag....
Go to Kro-goes...get the last 3 boxes of tart shells.....who's buying all these things? I did remember to buy my sweet of heart a Christmas card.
Driving home...I remembered the grape tomatoes that I forgot....
Oh yeah....and I'm out of "happy" pills....
Call home...it's now 8:35....told the other half I was going to the neighborhood grocer and stopping at CVS to get my Rx refilled.....
Drop off the Rx....go to the grocer...get my grape tomatoes, and some diet tonic and club soda...check out.
Stop at the liquor store...no Godiva dark chocolate liqueur.
The twit tells me the white chocolate is the same...
...he obviously knows nothing about chocolate.
Pick up a couple of bottles of Blackstone Merlot....after he tries to impress me with his wine knowledge. I don't drink wine, I don't need a lecture about sulfites in salad in a restaurant vs sulfites in wine. Hello....I
know why I can't drink wine....
In walks 3 cops....looking for Santa Claus.
I am serious.
Apparently some guy was in the CVS further down the street trying to get drugs and was seen headed in the direction of the one where I have to go back to pick up my Rx. He was dressed as Santa Claus.
One cop then said it was a fat guy in a Santa suit.
They went outside...I paid for my alcohol....and the twit complains that the cops standing outside is bad for business and someone needs to go out there and tell them to move somewhere else.
Huh? a guy is being wanted by the cops and the liquor store twit is complaining about the cops being outside?
Then he says....."this neighborhood is full of strange people".
I live a half mile down the road!
Jerk.
I leave and the officers are standing outside and I ask if I'm safe to go across the street to CVS...and one officer says he's walking over there to make sure it's safe. Nice guys.
The other officer goes into the sports bar next door.
So....since they were so nice....I said...."oh. by the way....the guy inside the liquor store said y'all standing around out here are bad for business."
As I was getting in my car....the third - very cute - officer turns around and walks into the liquor store.
I'm a redhead....not nice to mess with me when I've spent 4 1/2 hours in Christmas traffic, Walmart, and tracking down
tart shells!!!!
Went to CVS.....the police officer was in there....got my Rx and finally got home at 9:15.
I don't have to go out tomorrow....
