Tis the season to be....humiliated?!

Well, I am so excited to say that all of my Christmas shopping is done, all of the gifts are wrapped and under the tree. Whew! And boy, is my back thankful that I am done with all of that!

I have to tell you before I get into the humiliating part of my weekend what happened to my sister and Charlie. They were coming to my house last night to help me wrap my mothers HUGE Christmas present, and they got hit by deer. No, I am not making this up...this deer hit the back of his car, dented it and ripped out the entire tail light fixture. Now that I know no one was hurt, I think it's kind of funny...gives new meaning to the Christmas song about how someone got ran over by a reindeer!

Anyways, about my humiliating weekend. I am someone where I don't need help being ridiculously stupid. I do that ALL by myself. So, Friday, I left work with the hopes that Jeremy and I would get some much needed grocery shopping and finish up our Christmas shopping. So, I get home, and we leave again, and drop Bjourne off at my parents. The picture above is a shot of my loveable pooch at my parents house, sulking because he was told to lay down and stop antagonizing my Mom's powder puff kitten. Anyways, back to the subject...we get to walmart and Jeremy and are walking in when the little sensors go off. Well, there was about 15 of us going through at the same time, so we all stopped, and one by one everyone filed through. The second my toe touched that part of the carpet, it goes off. So, Jeremy and I step back, and he goes to walk through it, (I am starting to feel like we are trying to enter the courthouse.) Silence. So I walk through it, blaring sirens screaming in a freakish alien tone "Shes stealing, shes stealing!". So, I step back, and together, me, the greeter and the manager search my purse...not because they thought I was trying to smuggle things in but because they were trying to figure out what was causing it to go off. Its never been a problem before. After going through my purse and walking each thing through it individually, we were no where closer to the answer. They asked me if I had been implanted with any medical devices recently, and I told them the only thing I am implanted with is a baby. I take my purse and walk through it...the damn thing screamed like a banshee. They couldnt figure it out, and I was getting a little irritated by this time. So, they mark it down and I continue on my way. We get our shopping done, wait in line, check out, and go to leave. Now, I had been assured that I would not have a problem leaving. Yep, you guessed it...the little evil thing went off on us again. And there was a different greeter. So, not only did we have to take everything we purchased out of all of the bags, and give her the receipt, but I had to open my purse AGAIN. She wouldnt even let me tell her what was wrong! By the time Jeremy and I left that store, I was humiliated and I wanted to go home. I get to my parents and I tell them about it, and my mother was adament that I call and speak to a store manager, which I did. I told her how the first 2 ladies were helpful and were trying to find what was causing me to set it off, but the second lady was rude to me. She said she would take care of it, and the next time I came if that happened, that I was to ask for her specifically so she could help me figure out if its my keys or what. My guess is that they upped the sensitivity to the damn thing and something, be it my keyless entry or whatever is setting it off. But now I am paranoid to go back...its embarrassing to have to be searched not once, but twice. By the time I got home and sat down to eat, I searched my purse to make sure that I hadnt lost a strip in it when I put cd's in it and stuff, and jeremy is fussing at me to stop it, and the next thing I know, I am crying hysterically. Go figure. He should have stopped fussing at me huh?

But that was my Wal-Mart issue, and I am hesitant to go and pick up my prescription on Wednesday...we'll see. Otherwise, it was pretty calm and a fun weekend. Hopefully, this week will fly by quickly...
