So I am going to play catch up.

Since we have moved first of all there is no DSL capability at our new location. So, I have been without blogging. Secondly, this full time job thing is seriously cutting into my social time, sorry Jenny and girls. My first story is about my trip to Birmingham because as I predicted it was good. I arrived uneventful except the maniac on the road who followed me and tried to run me off the road. He was outran by a girl in a minivan and I am sure that is not a story he will ever share with any of his buddies. Secondly I got to shop all evening at the Galleria which was great! However, people thought I was crazy because I shopped with my cellphone ringing the whole time. These are my thoughts about my shopping trip:
Do the people in Hollister really have a hearing problem or am I old enough that that store makes me think I am deaf?
People at the customer service desk can not help me.
No of course they don't have that size.
There is always another store that could have it but they are closed.
Do you want a gift receipt? Sorry, we ran out of paper and I can't reprint them.
Do you want this game for a PS2 or a Wii? I said PS2 whatever that is.
No I do not want to save 20$ by spending 100$.
I do not want to open a store credit card! I have already canceled that one
Do you want to add your email address to our mailings? NO, I need no more junk email.
Do you want us to send you coupons through the mail? I have children, I need every coupon you have and from your sister stores too, please.
My all time favorite:
The little people who chase you around the mall asking you to try their product. I told one that someone else had already asked and he followed me for nearly five minutes and 2 stores to find out the other persons name. That my friends is dedication to the job!
Merry Christmas not happy holiday!!

This should be good!

This is a quick post so here goes. I am leaving in the morning around 5 am for a trip to Birmingham to stay until Thursday night for work. I am leaving my husband and children here and going by my lonesome to somewhere that is not familiar to me, and trying to get some Christmas shopping done while I am there. Some good stories should come from this, I wish I could take some of you with me (Jenny I am sorry) but alas I must go without children to a nice hotel and spend two day there. I hate people like me sometimes! haha
