Seeing the color pink
Yep...the girl who has a meltdown anytime something involves her eyes has pink eye. Ick. Eye drops are NO fun! I'm worse than a little kid.

Dear Walmart
Dear Walmart,
Given a recent trip to your store, I feel the need to express my irritation towards your operation. Please don't get me wrong, I have been a faithful follower since before I was able to have my own checking account. But lately...you're really pissing me off.
It seems that I spend just as much time standing in line as I do getting all of my groceries. I admit it, I'm a sucker. I fall for those price rollbacks...and it often kills me to go somewhere else knowing I'll end up paying more. But the aggravation of it all is making me wonder whether it's worth it or not.
During my recent trip, I noticed that there were 3 checkout lanes open. 3?!?!?! It was 6:30 at night...prime time for grocery shopping. Now, that doesn't include the self checkout lanes...but since I had a cart full of items, I decided this wasn't the way to go. Or should it have been??
I had 2 people in front of me...and I spent the next 20 minutes waiting. In the middle of it all, the cashiers had to switch out, and apparently we went from dumb to dumber. This is how bad it was: I had enough time to line up all the barcodes on the belt so that she would know where to scan the item. That shouldn't happen! Then, once she started ringing up my items, she went on to comment on almost every one of them. This is what irritated me the most. No, I don't buy Rachel Ray chicken stock because I like Rachel Ray, I bought it because it was on sale this week. And yes, if I'm buying cranberry pomengrante juice, it's because I like it better than regular cranberry juice. And yes, if I tell you I don't want my milk or bottled water in a bag, that isn't a cue for you to ask me "Are you sure?" I would have asked if I wasn't sure. I have too many of those damn plastic bags at home to begin with.
Then, when the total comes up, that isn't a cue for you to say "Wow, you spent a lot". Yeah, I've been on vacation and this was the first time I've been to the store since I got back. Of course I spent a lot. We had no food! I shouldn't have to justify how much I spend at the store!
Ugh.
Perhaps it's the particular store I go to...but I am more irritated than ever when I come home. It's a good thing my husband did the dishes...cause I was on a rampage and unfortunately he might have gotten the brunt of it! :-)
