I may just have a rant everywhere.
Rant 1: We go to get a baby shower gift for a co-worker of my mom's, and she tells me go pick out some pacificers, Winnie-the-Pooh if they have it. No problem, I go and get a package that has green pacficer with Pooh, and the other one is a light purple that has Tigger on it. I thought these would be okay for a baby. When I had it to my mom, " you can't get a lavendar color for a boy. That just doesn't look good." I tell her, "mom, its a newborn baby for cyring out loud, and its got tigger on it". Well, I just don't think you should get purple for a boy. Her subsistute was a yellow pacficer with pooh holding piglet, and a green pacficer with just pooh. I just rolled my eyes and said mom, "you have some serious issues if you think anyone is going to be offended if we got purple pacificer for a boy." .
P.S. I picked the same pacifier package for a co-worker the day before for her baby shower and she loved it for her baby boy
Rant 2: She tells me that I should scan out pictures for our cousin's 80th birthday party of the family. I do, because I really do like this family member :) The thing is when we go by Freds to get the picutre frames she goes in with me, and tries to tell me which picture frame to get. I tell her mom its an 8.5 by 11 piece of paper, that's the only frame it's going to fit. This is her: these 8 by 10 frames are pretty and we can just bend the picture back if it doesn't fit. This is me: mom it's not going to fit, trust me. 2 minutes later i'm back in the store exchaining the frames for the ones I had originally wanted, and the sales clerk looking at me with the ha ha ha expression.
I'm just thinking that 24 year-olds are not hanging around with their mother going to these places, and especially wal-mart and the grocery on Saturdays...
God, what have I become
