Hey-- I'm writing a THIRD entry for this week. WHOA! Bonus for all you Devoted Readers I keep convincing myself of.
I just wanted to apologize for the Exploded-Easter-Bunny theme I've got going here w/ my colors; it's just that they're pretty colors, and happy colors at that... and happy colors make for happy readers. And happy responders too!... hint hint!!!
Ok enough w/ the subliminal messages. Before I proceed, I want to tell a yomomma joke that I just read (apparently I'm a member of a "YoMomma Community".. rock on..)-- "Yo momma's so fat, a cop saw her standing on the corner and yelled, "Hey, you two! Break it up!"
Hahahahahaha! Well, I got a laugh anyway.
Today I was at the grocery store with my sister, filling our cart with the usual Thanksgiving fare-- that barrel-shaped cranberry crap-in-a-can, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and lottsss of caffeine-- that will be served to my edacious relatives on the morrow. I was dreaming about what I could buy in the Thanksgiving sales at the mall when we passed by a little woman in her twenties whose cart was parked by the canned foods. With a complacent smile on her face, she was neatly organizing her sizable stack of coupons.
Immediately, I gave her the look-down; you know the one-- the double-take mostly used by curious males on a shapely target. She was wearing an ensemble of sweatpants, sweatshirt, keds, and white socks. These were not just any sweatpants... they were direct from WalMart sweatpants.
I felt really shallow at that moment. Here I am, with barely enough room in my dorm closet for the clothes I have, thinking about what MORE I can acquire, when this cute little woman was so happy to be able to afford groceries with the help of these carefully accumulated coupons. It really made my priorities seem.. well.. just stupid... you know?
Well, I would write more but I saw the Ring today in the theater and.. it's dark in here right now and I'm scared. So I'm going to bed now. Night.
