Shopping, Rachel style

I hate shopping, but had to do it, today.  I needed a more comfortable pair of "girls shoes" before the next convention.  Here we have, ladies and gentlemen, things I saw while shopping:

At the mall:
Cricket wireless kiosk had a guy tending the place, bored out of his mind.  He was leaning on the glass display case, cleaning out his fingernails with the corner of a credit card.

Sears H&R Block booth had three employees griping about the hours. "They won't give me hours when I need them, but load me down when I need a day off.  What the hell?  This place sucks."

The "fat chick" store keeps advertising jeans that fit fat chicks correctly.  I haven't had jeans that fit correctly in YEARS.  I found them today.  Yup, they weren't lying.  The funny part?  Yeah, I wear a size one today.  ROFL

At WalMart:
I had to return something.  The kid in front of me who was returning something had to teach the old "greeter" lady how to use her scanning gun.

A 2ish year old kid was running from isle to isle, with a parent glancing his way every 8 minutes or so.  That kid could have disappeared SO fast.

The expensive jackets that were bought for the female reps at work (me included) are now at WalMart...on clearance...$12.  ROFLMAO

On the way home:
Gas is hovering around $3 per gallon.  

My car rides like a REAL car, since Kevin had two front tires put on today.  I guess I was mere hours away from a blowout on the highway.

The huge storm that is hitting right now was tiny sprinkles on the windshield.  Nothing more.  *sigh*  Come on, Spring.

OK, I got the shoes.  They are boring and blocky, but they are black shoes, and they are comfortable. 

Lord, I hate shopping.

Glad you found some shoes. That's always a challenge for me.

Hey I have a pair of those jeans. I wear a four! LMAO! But seriously, I have never had a a pair of jeans fit right until I found these. It was as if they were made for ME.

I love to shop for shoes..but like my butt, my feet are wide. I am stuck with the uglies.

Yeah, come one spring. I want to wear my flip-flops.
