Scene: Me, putting on mascara.
M(6): Mom, you look beautiful.
Me: Wow, thanks.
M(6): Like kinda Halloween-ish.
Good grief. Maybe it's the new eyelash curler...

Obscene Defined
December 18. Target. New items spotted in Girls' Clothing.
VALENTINES' DAY CLOTHES.
Now, that's just plain wrong.
And obscene.

Me so freaky
Scene: Walking out of Sam's Club, with Z (4) holding the receipt on which has been drawn an odd-looking googly-eyed smiley face
Z: This is strange.
Me: Looks kind of freaky, huh?
Z: Yeah, it's not me. It's you.
Z: This is strange.

Black Friday Recap
Up at 3. Showered. Hot chocolate machine is busted so just hit the road at 3:25. Did 90 mph on the 405 freeway because it was my private driveway and I could. Boston Pops (Arthur Fieldler) playing "Sleigh Ride" on 103.5 woke me up. Then they played Aiken's "O Holy Night" and messed with my groove.
Arrived at Kohl's. 4 years ago there were 4 of us at the doors. There were hundreds -- hundreds -- of people there, including a very pregnant woman in front of me in a wheelchair so she wouldn't go into labor. Hello??? Got 2 things, checked out and bailed fast. People were buying such random stuff...why buy slippers that are on sale until 1 p.m. at 4 a.m.? I don't get it.
Went to WalMart next. Twice as many people in line as last year. Very organized and efficient. No rushing, grabbing or pushing but A LOT of people -- too many. Just bought basics that were a steal (pjs, jeans for kids, sweatshirts) and left.
Hot chocolate and a donut. A big hot chocolate. Big donut too. Good times.
Home Depot: 99 cent poinsettias that are big and gorgeous. No crowds, no rush. But everyone there was buying flatfulls of poinsettias. Smart people.
Target: Again, twice the people in line. Met some nice gals and chatted with them for 45 minutes. Plenty of stock. Very organized. Bought -- well, can't remember what I bought. Must have been important.
The rest of the morning: Walgreens for 2fer webkinz, back to Kohls to get some clothes, Disney Store to do some shopping for my sister.
Returned home with a full car and a smokin' wallet. Another successful -- but crazy crowded -- year.
