Holidays....

The holidays never cease to amaze me - well, the time up until the holidays anywayz...

Today, after putting in a couple hours at work, I went to gather all the toys we received for the Baby DJ Fund as we're going to drop them off at the radio station tomorrow morning. Our office opened their hearts and donated 2 cars full of toys!!

Well, with the money we collected, we were able to go buy additional toys and me being the shopping queen I am, I headed down to the new Wal-Mart by my apartment, hoping to find some more "bang for the buck".

Can I say I fully understand why the holidays drives people nuts? No matter WHERE I turned in the parking lot, people were honking, stalking shoppers going back to their cars, all looking for the elusive "near the door" parking spot. Give Me A Break! Put on those walking shoes and park farther out. Work of the eggnog in your near future, is what I wanted to shout at these people.

After purchasing another 10 bags of toys, I'm traipsing out to my already full 'sleigh', and notice all of the handicapped spots are taken, with nary a ONE handicapped plate or hangtag or sign. C'mon people. STOP THE INSANITY! But.. hold on a sec.. there's MORE...

So, in my journey out of the asylum where parents were freaking out over this toy or that toy, I hear a "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK". Someone isn't moving fast enough for another enraged shopper. He's stopped at a stop sign. Well, Driver Boy gets a little pedal happy, honks again, revs his engine and "SMASH!" uses his car as a missile to push the guy's car through the stop sign, totaling the back end.

I have seen it all. From now on, ALL SHOPPING is to be done online. That, or I'm sticking with Target. I've had my fill of the holidays and it's only December 18th!
