Read the Sign

I am in line at the grocery store and this person next to me asks the cashier, "I'm doubled park at the red zone, right outside these doors. Is this ok?"

Fortunately, the clerk tells this person that this is illegal and a fine would be warranted.

This person responded, " Well, I asked the parking guard who said that parking at the red was fine."

The clerk just repeated himself.

I thought this person was nuts and ignorant trying to reason with the store clerk like if the cops showed up, gave a ticket, the store would back her up.

I turned and said, "The red zone is for the fire truck. In case there's a fire, a fire truck needs to park there to save our lives."

What an idiot. Rushed or not, there is plenty of parking and there is absolutely no need to park at the red. Just read the sign.

My Old Possessions

I've been slowly bringing back my possessions from my parents' house. I've found many old things that have caused me to wonder if it ever goes bad being 15+ years old.

clear nail polish that was used to stop runs on my pantyhose.
perfumes like Givenchy, Tresor, and Chanel
color hair bands (which feel brittle so that was trashed)
nail polish remover (still 1/2 a bottle left)

I was going to search the internet b/c a flash thought: to keep these things. NOT.

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

My husband told me that my old alarm went off at 4:00 A.M. and I did NOT move. NOT move at all. He got out of bed, walked around my bed, turned the alarm off and went back to bed.

Frankly, I didn't know what he was talking about when he told me.

The holiday tree has come and gone

Our city's xmas tree pick up is betwen Jan. 5-9 on the regular pick day. What does that mean? It means christmas is over. And, it was all based on when the tree will be picked up. The tree went down today.

Our little family kinda skirted around the tree situation by bumming off my parents who put up a tree. We go by there quite frequently so I figure there was no need for us to put one up. hahaha. ok, maybe next year, we will. Afterall, all that holiday decorations will go to waste.

The tree was pretty and lasted since Thanksgiving weekend. Go tree! Go tree food!

As quickly as it went up by the family, the tree quickly went out the door and onto the curbside by just a few of us.

Icicles in the trash. Ornaments, stockings, & lights put away in the storage bin and back in the garage. The furniture was rearranged and returned to its regular spots. Lastly, my dad said, "Hooray, the living room is back."
