It’s been a busy week for us. Jordan’s mom and grandma came to visit followed, a few days later, by her sister, two nephews and her niece. We had a great time taking the kids out for their school clothes shopping. All the Labor Day weekend sales made that super easy, though stressful. Which brings me to my first rant:
If you own or manage any business, stop that shady crap of posting one thing on all the signs that are on eye-level and posting something else WAY above everyone’s head where they won’t see it unless they’re freaks and stare at the ceiling or posting the REAL rules of the sale at the register. I don’t know a single person who wanders around a store staring at the ceiling. First of all, it’s dangerous. Are you really going to walk with your eyes looking way above your head? If you do, you’re a moron and I hope you feel like it when you run into people. Second, nobody puts interesting things on the ceiling. I know that’s the point… Put the REAL rules of the sale on the ceiling so when people grab stuff that appears to be on sale but really isn’t, they are at the register starting to pay before they realize otherwise, and that’s if they don’t figure it out before checking their receipt. That’s SHADY. Just so you’re aware, if you get a customer like Jordan or myself, we will leave the substandard crap at the register without paying, but only after letting your employee know that your crap is substandard and not worth the poop on my toilet paper. Hopefully, the rest of America will get smart and join us so you stop pulling that shady ploy to steal our money, dump truck. And yes, I just called you a dump truck. Get over it; we’ve already determined that I’m better than you, sneaky beast.
For anyone who wants to know which piece of crap store caused the above rant, it was Claire’s when we were shopping for Ashley’s accessories. I’d advise that you join us in boycotting that joke of a “jewelry” store. That crap turns your skin green, anyway. If you personally know me, I can hook you up with someone who makes handmade jewelry that far exceeds Claire’s standards and will be made to your liking. Maybe that will be my last rant today.
Hmm… Next up, my brother will be here for about a week and a half, half of which, Jordan’s mom and grandma will also be here. Due to the fact that my poor little brother is stuck living in a dorm, eating (military) Chow Hall food, there will be lots of cooking and definitely at least one dinner out. I promise to have Jordan take photos of at least a few of the meals and I will blog them. We are going to be making a dessert in the next week or two due to the fact that I dreamt of a fall-caramel-apple-spice cake last night and decided that I MUST create a recipe for one. Naturally, I woke up and immediately got on that so now we have to a) make the recipe and b) perfect the recipe. Be on the lookout for it. I don’t think this one will go into the vault of Super Secret Family Recipes but I’m not sure yet. That will depend entirely on how delicious this cake turns out.
Until next time, don’t be a beastie, say what you mean and mean what you say!
