Hello My Loves....

It has been a busy day. Finally getting around to taking the decorations down....you know I said the other day how sad it is to take them down...:(..but it must be done or Valentines is going to be here and I will still be celebrating Christmas....Speaking of Valentines...I don't know about the rest of the ladies in the world...but as I have aged it just doesn't seem as exciting as it use to be. I remember  being so excited as a teenager dating age to have the big flower and candy day arrive....wondering who was going to buy me a heart and put it on this big board we had at school and what color it was gonna be..the colors meant something...White was friendship...red of course was love and so on. Then once I had a boyfriend..what kind of flowers would I get?....Candy with them..and if so what kind of box...how big? For some reason in my mind that seem to let me know if he loved me or really really loved me...or just didn't know how to tell me to get lost!!! I can assure you the man I married almost 30 years ago is wishing he would have sent the message of GET LOST! I am... as he puts it...expensive and not just at Valentines!!! He loves me though..or maybe he figures it is cheaper to keep me...lol....I raised a smart man!!!!

Intersting thing today is parking...went to the outdoor shopping complex we have near my home to pick up a couple items....I drive a SUV Pathfinder....not really big but does need some thought as to where I should park. Find me a nice spot..pull in leaving plenty of open spots to the right of me. Truthfully there were a dozen or more open spots one could park in...but oh no..these two teenage boys have to park their little sardine can of a car right friggin next to my monster truck..as close as they can...so close in fact...the driver can't get his skinny ass out of his sardine can without hitting my door with his. While it didn't hurt my vehicle it pissed me off with him...I mean like really dude...you can't park in one of the other zillion spaces so you can open your door all the way????? He looks right at me and doesn't say sorry ...kiss my ass...did I hurt your door let me look.... nothing. So me being me.....goes to the kid ..."Hey...don't just walk away...you hit my door"...he just looks at me with a deer in the headlight stare...so I ask him.."where did you learn to park?....K-Mart blue light??"...he says nothing....so I help him out and tell him how it's gonna go.."you need to say your sorry...and smile while you do it...and you need to take parking lessons...cause why in the world would you park that thing so freakin close you can't get out to begin with?...I don't know if you noticed or not..but there are about a zillion EMPTY spaces you could have parked your tin can....but you parked by me and not only did you park by me..you hit my door...so go on and do your shopping...don't worry it's ok...but what you should know is I have never driven anything this big and I don't back very well....but I think your car will be okay...but I can't promise...have a nice day:)" by now it is all I can do not to bust out laughing ..he gets in to his car..his friend gets in ..being oh so careful not to bump my door again and leaves!!! Mission Accomplished!!!
