dearest grandmothers; (who are bestest friends)

does anyone else get perturbed by the ridiculous packaging on new DVD's and CD's?

it takes like an hour to break open one of those puppies, and you still cant seem go get the sticky stuff off it!  and you're definitely a pro if you dont leave fingernail marks in the plastic covering.

and why is it that when u open up a can of tuna, your pet ALWAYS comes running from outta nowhere?  i thought it was just cats, but nope.  my dog has recently started coming out of her cave and slamming into the kitchen doorway just to be there when the effervescence of tuna filtres through the room.   hello, dog hair in my sammich!  couldn't you warn me, mistletoe?

its obnoxious!

and you know what else is obnoxious!?  WAL*MART!

I GO IN THERE for a 3 dolla curtain rod, and come out with 4 bags of groceries, a desktop fan and charlie's angels DVD.   THAT is why i'm so perturbed with packaging right now, THAT is why i am eating a TUNA sammich on potato bread with dog hairs in it cuz she loves effervescence, and THAT is why i spend 70 dollas on a curtain rod!  and what i REALLY MOST wanted from that store was a tent for my hobby.  but "no" i didn't want to spend all  of my husband's money our first payday!  LOTTA GOOD THAT DID!!!!

and it's all LOWE'S FAULT.  they delivered my new fridge at the a$$-crack of dawn, withOUT calling first, and in a sleep-walking state of mind, i left half of my food in the door of the fruit-fly-infested-fridge.  so....the whole reason i was on the expensive side of town today was all because the dudes didn't check for food before fleeting the depths of my interrupted-beauty-sleep-walking-'round-the-kitchen-mood!! 

but, i went back to get it and this NICE boy who loves and knows dogs real well came up to my window and while mistletoe tried to eat his face, i handed him a dog-biscuit which i had SOOO intelligently hid in my change dish after depositing kerem's paycheck JUST for an occasion like this, and he calmly calmed her mal-adaptive masticating mannerism into a coy little bow-wow while she chomped on the biscuit and wagged her tail.  'WHOA' i said.  i think you have chosen the wrong career!

so we had  a free therapy session for mistletoe today and she seems to be a little bit more at ease with strangers now.  she touched her nose to his hand--i was impressed.

i think it was a good day, afterall.
