last week in weirdness

people just have to learn to chill ....

    So Friday afternoon on the homeward commute -- I pull up to the intersection next to the office (my corner of 3rd st) and I'm going to turn east and some woman in a car is heading west ... she rolls down her passenger window and yells at me ....  "dammit, you're blocking my view" ... I was a bit taken back ... my response -- "sorry, it's a gas guzzling truck" ... chill people, chill .... 

     8 blocks up the street, heavy traffic on the Avenue (why do we call it that?) ... some idiot pulls out of the City Grille Restaurant in the middle of chaos -- illegally crosses a bunch of yellow lines and I have no where to go to get out of any one's space....dang near wiped out myself and the idiot ... the semi next to me was blowing his horn (like that would do any good) ...

     last night on the way to Mankato for my mega Office Max shopping extravaganza ... another event -- some idiot is crossing the center line at me.....   argh.


  Hummm -- chill pills people, chill pills.

  So in 30 minutes at Office Max I spent $500, yep, $500 -- won't need to return for any little stuff for a while.  TZ Tapes for Mrs. H ... colored copy paper, 3 ring binders, tape, staples, hole punches, mailing labels (why are they so expensive) .. it was 5 bags worth and all on sale !!!! 

   While eating we noticed the approaching storm and made it home in time to shut the "big"doors and get ready for the STORM ... what a joke --- 3/10ths of rain and 70mph winds.  Branches and leaves abound ... on the ground.

  Went back to Mankato this morning ... found jeans that fit my ass.  The miracle to end all miracles ... went to purchase a second pair and there were none -- hello, kohls.com ... soon to be delivered.   Lunch at the Olive Garden (hence the issue with the jeans fitting the ass).   JoAnn Fabrics and home for a nap. 

  Time for my chill pill -- a couple of hours at the sewing machine.

  Market was good yesterday!  Good to see all the shoppers and vendors ...

  Sorry about the babbling --
