Last Saturday... and stuff

Last Saturday was my friday... I worked hard all week and was going to spend the next two days up at Trinity Lake with my family. I was so excited!!! Daniel and I packed our car and were going to head up there when I got off at 6...

It was a super busy day last Saturday. It was the first of the month and a holiday weekend... On top of that it was the day all the crazys were out...

The Man Hater


I was walking a lady to her car, pushing her basket of groceries and trying to make small talk... I wasn't expecting what would happend next... it went something like this...

me- "so, how are you today?"
lady- "of course you would ask me that... this has been the worst day of my life..."
me- looking disturped "oh, I am sorry to hear that... at least the weather is nice..."
lady- "it is too hot, and I dont even care about the weather. my husband left me this morning for his brothers step grandaughter..."

at this point the lady gets in front of the basket and stares at me

lady-"before he left he told me about every affair he has had in the last thirty years... this afternoon he emptied our bank account and took my car..."

me-"uh... wow"
lady- "dont ever get married... how old are you?"
me-"23, and I am married... and he is a nice guy"
lady- "they all are nice at first"

then the lady gets in her car while I load her groceries.



The Zit Girl


I was following a women in between cars pushing her basket. She forgot where she had parked so we were just wandering. I happend to look in this old bucket of a car. There was a gigantic women in the front seat. She had the mirror down and was proceding to pop pimples all over her face. It just wasnt on quick one ya know... She was really going at it. I was sure her whole face was going to pop off. It was so gross...


The Pathetic Wimp


This lady walks up to the register holding a single apple and a bottle of water. I ask her if she perfered paper or plasic. She said plasic... I go to hand her the bag, she looked at me and said "I am out this way"... I was just flabergasted... so I followed her out carrying her apple and water. She looked over her shoulder and said "bad back ya know..."


Mean Ol Rich Lady

This didn't happen to me... Poor little Ashley was bagging for this big ugly lady, that was buying to much... She was the kinda customer that comes in every week and spend $400 on groceries... of course she asked for paper, packed lightly... so Ashley did... she even had to get another cart because the lady had so much stuff... Normally when the order ends up in two different carts, the customer pushes one out and the curtesy clerk gets the other... but this lady starts walking off so Ashley is stuck pushing one and pulling the other...


The Man in Charge

Speaking of Ashley... She is getting married this Saturday... She asked for the time off a long time ago, and has reminded the people in charge of the schedule often... however when the schedule came out this week the gave her the day of her wedding off, and that all... not the rehersal dinner or after... I just thought that was sad...


Crazy Eyes

This lady walks up to the register, she had dirty blonde hair and dark wrinkly skin. She was wearing a purple halter top and acid washed overalls and no shoes... and her eyes were both lazy... she asked for a pack of Camel Lights. I go to get them, the cashier rings them up and tells her it is going to be $5 something. The customer goes crazy... "they are how much?" and then she starts laughing as if it was ironic or something... she pulls out a ten dollar bill and throws it at the cashier... she gets her change and she laughes all the way out of the store...


It was just a odd day... we had alot of drunk people come in and try to buy more alcohal... alot of kids try and make a mess of stuff... the day went buy rather quickly for me... which was good... The weekend wasnt as relaxing as I hoped...

We spent most of Sunday on the boat. My brother Zach was driving us around and stuff. He doesn't slow down for big wakes, so my back is all bruised up from hiting the railing of the boat. Sunday night I had to drive my mom back into town so she could take her puppies to the emergency vet place... They were at home with my sister Amy. The cats knocked over some pain medication from the counter to the floor and the puppies ate all of it. They had to get there stomaches pumped and stuff. They are fine now, but it was kinda scary...

Daniel stayed up at camp when I took my mom home... It was real late when I got into town and I didn't want to drive up the hill in the dark. So I stayed home... all alone... For the first time sence we got married... It was kinda scary... and cold... and I was sure the boogieman was going to get me...


So... I am desperatly trying to find a different job... I am not sure where God wants me... but I am thinking I should persue working at makeup counters... Like at Macys or Gottchalks or something. I have quite a bit of expereice with cosmetics and skin care stuff... I think it would be good... so wish me luck on that...

So it is September, which means Halloween is soon gonna be here... I am not sure what I should be... I am thinking a superhero of sorts... like Underdog or KungPowFooie... I am not sure though...
