My family does not do the flurry of gifts, it is one at a time and they read the tag first. #3 is out, that will get me hurt.lol

I think I am going to get a friend to make it more fun and go tomorrow.

I dont want to, but I dont see any other choice.

EDIT: #4 I could fake my own death............

I went to Wally World today to drop off a prescription and it's already crazy.I almost got run over twice in the store by carts and once in the parking lot by a car. I have to go back tomorrow and pick it up. I'll probably shop a little while I'm at it. I'm going early though.

I just talked to a buddy, he has done nothing too and we are going together.

When me and him are together every thing is fun, at least until the cops show up.

He likes to fake tourettes syndrome in public.lol


want to see something funny? This is what a guy posted about me.



Laugh!!!!

And Laugh again!

Bill does not even deserve a reply.

I figure that Bill is probably a fifteen year old kid that never has owned a truck, much less one for towing.

Let me guess, there will be a big press release from Freightliner saying they have a new gasoline engine that is going into their big rigs.

Sick tea nager!!!!
I cleaned it up to make more since, I thing the guy is a little crazy.

I used to have a saying for this time of year when I went to the liquor store-

" OMG- look at the line, I forgot this was amateur week".

So you went shopping with your boss on the clock?

Why does it matter if Walmart has more minority's?

No, I was off the clock. We are good friends outside of work haha.

And after working for retail for 2 and a half years, I learned that the most annoying customers are the Mexicans.
I don't mind them, I just can't stand being around them anymore.
Target and because everything at Target it 4 dollars more expensive, you never have to worry about the store being crowded haha

I'll probably be working on the 24th stocking bread at Wally world, so that should be fun...

I spent part of my evening fighting with iTunes. It spazzed out on my computer, so I transferred all my music, videos, etc. to my laptop and synced my iPod with that. And wouldn't you know, as I'm transferring files, I log out then back in to the iTunes Store and everything's back to normal on my computer. Well, cept for the fact that iTunes has apparently upgraded itself and changed settings I didn't want changed. And now it skips if my CPU usage pegs to 100% like if I'm loading a web page. But it's been handled, so all's well.
