Grumpy Old Men

Today as I was leaving the gym, I needed to stock up on allergy medicine and opted to swing by Walgreens, rather than fight the traffic at Wal-Mart.  I zipped into the small parking lot and saw that almost all the spots were filled, except for one right in front.  However, an ugly maroon pick-up truck had parked way over the line, leaving a very slim space in which to park.  Normally, I would have circled around the back and skipped this space, but I was in a hurry today and decided to squeeze my way in.  I used to live at The Villas at Katy Trail, which has the world's smallest spaces, so I was a pro at parking in small spots.

I get my car parked, open my door a fraction and let is lightly tap the pick-up truck.  Then I do the crazy dance of trying to sideways squeeze my way out of my car, sucking my tummy in, while I curse the driver of the maroon pick-up under my breath.  Just as I am finagling my way out, I hear a raspy voice shout, "thanks for hitting my car!"  I look up and there is the Grumpy Old Man glaring at me as he walks across the parking lot.  I resist the urge to roll my eyes and say curtly, "Sorry.  You parked kind of close."  Grumpy Old Man then starts rambling off about his new paint job.  I look at his truck that must be at least ten years old and isn't shiny or gleaming and looks nothing like it was recently painted and opt to completely ignore him as he continues on with his rant.  I walk right into the store, avoiding eye contact and get into the Walgreens.  It then occurs to me that GOM is probably keying my car right now, but oh well.

Some people.  Humph.

Sigh

Here I am. Back at work. Missing this suite that I spent some quality time in this weekend.



Only add the entire snack asile at Sam's mixed in with those white vases and a fully stocked bar in that nook behing the table.
Who else is feeling my pain?

Wedding Weekend

Stephanie and Mark tied the knot this weekend!
