It's not called fucking X-MAS!!!!

This is the only time I will bring my religious beliefs into my blog. I have had about e-fucking-nough of people writing X-mas on shit! I even saw a store once called "X-mas Planet". Nobody shortens any other religious holiday names! Why do you have to butcher ours? The fact is that Christmas IS the celebration of Christ's birth. End of story! If you are going to celebrate our holiday, at LEAST have the decency to spell the whole this out! It boils my blood to see such blatant disregard for something that REALLY is a big deal. Frankly, those who think it isn't a big deal have no business claiming to celebrate Christmas. let's just call a spade a spade here ok? You don't celebrate Christmas. You give and get presents on December 25th, but nowhere in there do you thank God for sending us Jesus. We sing Happy Birthday to the baby Jesus every Christmas morning with our children. Please show respect. Also? It's NOT Happy Holidays! It's Merry Christmas, it's Happy Chanukah, It's Happy Eid. I am NOT insulted by people saying any of these to me. Nor shoud anyone else. But back to my REAL issue here? CHRISTMAS NOT XMAS!!!!!

Wal-mart Photo Lab makes my boycot list!

The last four orders we have done at Wal-mart photolab have come out wrong. First they made 4 photo CDs and charged us for them without asking me if I wanted them. I had to FIGHT to get my money back. She "totally remembered me asking for them." I think not. Then the next time I did ask for the discs and one came out blank. Brought that back they said they'd re-do it? STILL came back wrong! Then I ordered our photo Christmas cards and they came out landscape instead of portrait and cut off half the photo. When I went in to complain they said it was my fault! They said however you order them is how they are printed. Even though I printed out the preview of the order and how it looked when I sent it and it was SO not how they came out...STILL my fault! So? I got my money back, re-ordered the cards through Black's even though they are 80 cents more per pic and wrote a complaint to head office. I will update you on the sitch when they contact me back.

Beautiful View Outside my big beautiful picture window.

Isn't this a beautiful view? I get to look at this for days at a time! Nothing says GOOD MORNING like a transport truck, complete with a trucker who SPITS everytime they climb out of this thing! One day they left it idling for -no shitting you- FOUR HOURS! The Cops may have been called that day...we won't say who by. How classy is this? I suuuuuuuuuure hope it's parked there when we decide to sell. WTF PEOPLE??? WTF???

OH! BTW? it belongs to that yellow house you see across the street....areyou NOT capable of parking in front of your OWN house? What's that? You don't want to have to stare at this ugly piece of shit every time you look out your window? Boo fuckin whoo!

Make your OWN damn figgy pudding assholes!!!

Tis' the season to be bitchy. Fa la la la la, la la, fuck you! Every year as the Chrsitmas season begins I have a hard time remembering why, come Christmas day, I am already SO done with the festivities and ready to move on to the boozing of NYE. This year I am documenting it so that, next year, when I wonder again I can just refer back to this.

Our mall had a big "Santa Claus is coming to town" celebration for the first day he would be there for kids to get their pics done with him. I took my 5 year old so she could enjoy the excitment. First mistake. The show was crammed into a small corner of our ridiculously small "mall" and apparently people came from far and wide to enjoy Toopy and Binoo and Santa's arrival. For every child at the show there were also about 4 adults. People brought out mom, dad, gran, gramps, great gran, great gramps and so on. THEN they forget it's REALLY about the kids. There is an area in the front for kids to sit on the floor while they watch, but unless you arrive 6 hours earlier you are never getting to sit there. Then it's standing room from there on back. WELL the people standing in the first row of standing (directly behind CHILDREN sitting on the floor) decided that their children needed to be up on their shoulders so that the kids 10 rows back who really SHOULD be on someone's shoulders can now not even see unless they are hoisted up to the ceiling. The PARENTS are getting mad because THEY not their kids can't see. When did we forget this was SUPPOSED to be for the kids? In fact if I weren't surrounded by small children I probably would have gone all Chuck Norris on the faces of all the idiot parents/grand parents in attendance.
Sitch #2: I am Christmas shopping at Wal-mart (that on it's own is frustrating enough as it is) and about to check out. The girl in front of me at the checkout is with her friends who walk away leaving her to wait on her own, not saying where they are going and knowing full well they are next in line. SO when the cashier gets to her SHE does what any normal person would do, she picks up her stuff and says "I don't know where they are so you might as well go first I will go to the back of the line and wait for them I guess since it's their stuff." WELL!!!! As the cashier starts ringing in my stuff her fucking psychotic friend grabsthe stuff out of the nice girl's hands and waltzes up in front of me and hands the cashier her stuff. She looks at me and says "Honestly! I SO TOLD her I would be right back!" The cashier just looks at her blankly as do I. She says again "Well I told her I would be only 2 minutes." Since Brit was with me I manageed to keep my cool (are we proud?) and said "Well really? Your friend took the stuff and told me to go ahead of her, so I'm sorry but your loss." She knew I was right so instead of telling ME off she FREAKS on her friend. I mean the girl went APE shit. What a fuckin classy broad. There were literally only 2 people behind me in line. Suck it up and learn your lesson. It's not your friend's fault you're a moron!

I'm sure there will be more annoying shit as we are only 17 days away from Christmas. I will keep you posted.

Until then? Is it REALLY too much to ask for a Silent Night?

No my name ain't baby
