Anyway...it seems like everyone I know is kind of in a dull, zombie like mood and no one, I mean NO ONE is jolly and festive.
Saturday I had to take Veggie Stick to the mall to sing. We were up there for five hours total and let me tell you, when you're stuck in a mall for five hours with nothing to do but shop, it's torture.
There wasn't even anyone to have a decent conversation with. The one person worth talking to, kept blowing me off by walking away in the middle of a conversation or before I'd even begun to speak, so I just finally gave up and hung out alone.
I did a little people watching....
People at malls are interesting to watch. There are some people who are very self-conscious and it shows by the way they walk, dress and talk. And if they're going to the mall in a group, it's like they color coordinate. I saw seven groups of teen aged girls all wearing the exact same outfit with different colored shirts and scarves.
Seven groups....
Then there was the family, five of them, all wearing the same color sweaters with jeans. It was strangely cute, except for the husband who just didn't look comfortable wearing his red sweater...he looked annoyed.
Speaking of husbands...
Mr.Man's mangina is still bothering him. Sunday morning he got out of bed and decided to torment me. I woke up and walked down stairs, butt chuckling all the way. He greeted me with " God, What crawled up your ass and died?".
That didn't bother me.
Then he kept running into me and being goofy.
That didn't annoy me either.
It's when he came in and drank MY COFFEE OUT OF MY CUP BECAUSE THE COFFEE MAKER WAS EMPTY THAT I GOT ANNOYED.
I mean come on here...make a new pot of coffee asshole. I hadn't even finished one cup and let me tell you, I like my coffee in the morning.
So when he began to tell me how the guys at work were messing with him because he was growing his hair out, I couldn't help but be a little vicious.
Mr.Man: "So what do you think honey. Do you like my hair when it's longer?"
Me: "I think it makes you look like a 70's porn star."
Mr. Man didn't say anything. Instead he wandered around the house and then went upstairs. Quite frankly I didn't think anything about it.
Then he came downstairs...
Apparently my comment upset him. He not only cut his hair, he cut it SHORT!
Does this mean I'm going to have to return the cool T-shirt I bought him for Christmas?
Ah well...I'm guessing he's not too mad. He called me this morning and told me he loves me. I think I might still be one of his favorite people.
Today I need to clean, bake and go back to that shitty mall. The Little Beatle will be singing with his school so I shall go watch him, then we will eat and then I will leave the mall of hell.
At least it's not happening on a Tuesday...whew!
So...what can today's word be?
I'm stumped really. Normally I will choose a word I can really fuck with people about, but today I think I'm going to leave it up to you guys.
What would you choose as a word of the day and why?
I'm feeling a little more in the Christmas spirit today so this is my mood...
There's a kiss for everyone...
See? I'm in a festive holiday mood.....and it's going to stay that way even it if kills me.
So there....
Heh - your words, they have POWAH! Woot!
ReplyDeleteToo bad for you though if you WANTEd him to have longer hair....ah well, it will grow again.
Malls traumatize me. I avoid them at all costs...especially this time of year..you couldn't get me in one. Good thing I have no money and won't be able to do any xmas shopping. No busy stores for me ::sigh::
ReplyDeletePeople are really interesting to watch...as a psychology fan..ya can't get much better than watching people do the strange things they do.
Your picture made me want to kiss your cheek before I even knew it was a picture of you giving kisses.
You just aint spreadin enough of that love around Blondie. . . but the kiss is a start.
ReplyDeleteYea, when did looking like a 70's porn star become a bad thing?!?!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm a wicked woman, but I can't stop laughing at his reaction to me calling him that.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think about it, I roll on the floor laughing.
Ah well...he's a good man to put up with me. I doubt anyone else would...
It's almost 11 am, hope your not already dead from your attempt to be festive! I'm jealous of people like your husband who still have choices about what they want to do with there hair. If I grow mine long it will look like George Carlins' head. No one wants to see that. Maybe today's word can be BALD. Or BALLED if you prefer. Although the former rarely leads to the latter.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the kiss! It's a great way to start the week!
ReplyDeleteMalls tend to suck any shred of good will and happiness out of me this time of year. I do love to people watch though...came up with an idea for a reality show..."What the Hell Were They Thinking????" based on clothing choices worn to malls.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, slap a wig on Mr. Man and he can still be a porn star!
Came here from Utenzi's blog.
In the mall, I'm the guy who looks like he is irritated that all these other people are there too. Can't they stay home?
ReplyDeleteI hate malls where you have to go in general entrances and walk through a sea of humanity to get to a shop that should have their own door to the outside. At least for me.
You? You're my word for the day, remarkable.
What do you mean I'm not in the Christmas spirit?? I'm freaking Jolly! achem.. I mean Merry Christmas...
ReplyDeleteI do so HATE people who do that "walk away while your talking" thing! It always leaves me with that akward mix of insecurity and pissed-off-edness. I also hate people your talking to that seem to have one eye out for any one else they can talk to as if you're ok unitl I can find someone better. UGH!
ReplyDeleteAnd people wonder why I'm hateful and bitter!
The one person worth talking to, kept blowing me off by walking away in the middle of a conversation or before I'd even begun to speak, so I just finally gave up and hung out alone.
ReplyDeleteWTF is up with people? That's just rude! Gah!
And I would totally throw down if someone drank my coffee.
OMG. I can relate on every level of this post!
ReplyDeleteI was scratching the dog's chin one night. The dog is getting gray on his chin. I jokingly mentioned that he was concerned because the commercial on TV about Mr. Graybeard and how there's no play for Mr. Gray. The next morning hubby's beard (which also has a little gray) was gone. :(
It's back now.
I was in Huntington Mall for 2 hours Friday. I did not spend one penny. It is a soulless dead place.
Wow, great kiss!
ReplyDeleteHere's one back...
Mmmmm *SMACK*
I hate malls with a white hot passion. Unless I've never been there before - then it's okay.
ReplyDeleteIf you've been at the CTC mall lately, I feel for you. That place is hell on earth.
ReplyDeleteKiss, kiss. You have a great attitude.
No doubt! I've been staying the hell away from the mall!!! Shop local businesses -- support the Mom and Pops, save $$, and avoid the freakin' mall! *g*
ReplyDeleteThat's 70's porn man you posted is hairy and hot! LOL
ReplyDeleteI was at the mall yesterday. It is a depressing sight. I remeber when it was quite a vibrant and festive place. . . I also remember when downtown Charleston was a vibrant and festive place, especially at Chritmas time. . . all the department stores and little shops. . .
ReplyDeleteEventually ll the stores around South Ridge will close and we'll be left with only Wal-Mart.
The proles get what they deserve.
