Bah Humbug! Have I Ever Told You I Hate Christmas Time?
Posted by Andy on December 19th, 2007
I took the afternoon off to go shopping. It looks like a storm is heading in this weekend, which means I’ll have to be at work plowing instead of shopping. And well, since it would be bad for me not to have gifts this year (yes the serious girlfriend things makes it bad, guys). Well, I went to the Mall of America this afternoon. Did you know there is about 5 spots that a truck like mine can fit in? (not really, but since I did everyone a favor and not even try to pull into the ramp, I was stuck with the little outside ones. And well, sorry Red Bull truck, that spot was mine. I was there first.Anyways, it was really a waste. The crowd got to me, so did the useless sales staff at a few stores. Seriously folks, when people walk in, look around, then stand at the counter for a little bit, chances are they want something and you should stop talking to your friends. It is also disappointing that I couldn’t find anything that i knew people would like that was in their size.this whole buying for a woman thing sucks. The pressure, the chance of complete rejection…. grrrrrr. So I headed back towards home. I headed north to hit Rosedale on the way home. Let me tell you traffic absolutely sucks with out the 35W bridge. Oh wait, you probably know that too. Good thing we do, cause the morons ingovernment don’t. (I am talking to everyone on both sides of the isle)Anyways. Rosedale kinda sucks too. More rude patrons. Young teens who seem to think it their place in life to stand and be in the way. Anyways, another wasted trip. But I did hit on of the department style stores near by, grabbed an adult beverage at my old watering hole. And now, I am headed home. Still unstaisfied with what I have to give for Christmas, and a headache from the morons in malls and on the roads.Oh, I should mention that at 4:30 PM when I was headed through downtown Minneapolis, the Hiawatha light rail train that forced a green light to turn red for no other reason passed me was almost completely empty. It was a 4 car one, and I doubt there was more than 18 to 24 people on the thing. So how much did that cost us taxpayers?Bah humbug!

To answer your question, every time somebody steps onto Jesse’s choo-choo it costs the taxpayer about $3.00. Ho-ho-ho.

Don’t listen to her AAA….buy something for her or you will never hear the end of it! LOL
Seriously, what ever possessed you to go to MOA at Christmas? I avoid that place like the plague from November 1 to January 15 just because of what you described here. You’re best bets are to stay in the suburban malls or order online!

Or like I implied . . . there is a jewelry store next to Keegs that he could hit tonight. JOKING!
Seriously, he has gone above and beyond what anybody would expect and I really don’t need anything other than to spend time with him!

Well now that you mention it….I was going to hint at something sparkly…preferably something round and sparkly and designed for a finger, but then again I figured it might spook the young lad so I didn’t say anything…
;-)) AAA you know we kid because we love ya!
Seriously, I hope you guys have a fantastic Christmas.
