Getting a little Christmas Busy here:

I went to CVS yesterday and I got a lecture from the cashier about how much I was paying for Christmas gift bags ($1.99!) She kind of chastised me for not saving my Christmas bags from last year. I was so annoyed, I said "I didn't get any Christmas bags last year". Why are the cashiers in this town all up in my business???

I just posted this picture on facebook so I thought I'd post it here, too. I made these cookies for a party the library is having for our student workers tomorrow. I've been trying to get over a cold for a few weeks and I was headed to Stop and Shop to buy some store-bakery cookies and I just couldn't do it. Most of the time they just are so gross and stale or they don't taste home-made. So, you might as well buy chips-ahoy. Anyway, I made sure I didn't breathe on anything so hopefully they will like these cookies. One christmas party down.....

Why I Love Self-Checkout

Tonight at Walmart:

Clerk: Oh I love Tabasco Sauce. This weekend I had pizza and beer and I put Tabasco Sauce on every slice. I really love it.

Me: Sounds good.

....

Me: Credit

Me: Credit

Clerk: I need to see the card and your ID. (Stares at ID for very long time gives back ID, stares at credit card)

Clerk: Why does this say Marriott on your card? Do you get points with that?

Me: Yes

Clerk: Well that's a nice hotel but don't you think it's too expensive?

Me: I guess mutter mutter mutter.

Fun Thing I read at work today:

Law about cross dressing and adultry from the Connecticut Statues in 1796. It's clearer if you click on it, I think.
