Guilty.

I love my Hankie! He always looks like he is up to NO GOOD!

STRIKE ONE...

Those of you who know me know very well I spend most of my income at Target. I am simply incomplete without a bi-weekly Target run: the $19.99 shoes, amazingly cheap, yet quality clothes, matching accessories, not to mention a beautiful grocery store. I thought nothing could diminish my love for this store, until today.

As I neared the check-out, a man came and beckoned me towards his newly opened register. How did I get so lucky to avoid the long lines? Everything was just fine until the total came up. He began with "have you heard of the Target card?" I responded, "Yes, but no thank you." He continued with, "do you know that the Target could save you money? Annoyed that I had already politely declined the stupid card, I said, "yes, but I still do not want it, thank you." He then looked at the receipt to inform me that I could "save a total of $9.96 today..." (pushing the issue yet once again) I replied, "I'm not interested." THEN, THIS MAN HAD THE AUDACITY to say, in a snotty, smart-A tone, "why don't you want to save money?"

As I slowly looked up from the credit card machine, he immediately knew he had made a mistake. I can't imagine the exact look on my face, but based on his reaction, it must have been indicative of my feelings. He added, "if you don't mind me asking." YES I MIND HIM ASKING! Are my finances ANY of his business?! No, I don't want to save money!!! If I had wanted to save money, I wouldn't have driven the 5-10 miles TO Target in the first place. I also wouldn't have spend over $90. And I DEFINATELY wouldn't have bought TWO unnecessary shirts for $8.99 a piece.

I wanted to punch this cocky clerk right in the face. He really pushed my buttons. While I recognize they make like $1 per sale on the Target card, I don't think it was worth it. Because if this happens one or two more times, I will STOP shopping at Target. And lets be honest, Target Corporation does NOT want that to happen! Let this serve as a warning...

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is, in my opinion, the first day of winter. It is absolutely freezing outside....the kind of cold where the chill goes to your bones. Yesterday, I hated summer. Today, I hate winter.

I obviously don't have much to post about, hence the default to the weather, although to my grandpa that IS the only important thing to converse about.

Hank is trying to get a job at Ruby River (which he calls Ruby Tuesday, GROSS!) Thanks to our sweet friend Daniel, he might start bringin in some money! I am anxious for that aspect of marriage to occur sooner rather than later. :) I am just going to school and becoming more and more confused. I'm convinced I am the most incompetant person to ever enter graduate school.

Sorry for wasting the time of those who have read this post. I am done now.
