Today at church, Mike reminded me of the Gift Exchange with my old group of Alpha friends. Totally forgetting about the party all together even though Lisa and Shaun have reminded me of this party many, many times already. I subjected myself to shopping for a good hour and the nutty people actually doing "real" Christmas Shopping. Man it was a zoo out there!

I decided that I was only going to one store.... Micheals - the craft store. If I didn't find anything cool there under $10, I could always get the ever popular picture frame. Well, going through all the aisle with Mylah and looking at all the cool and clearenced out Christmas stuff. I decided that I would pick-up these awesome angel glass ornaments. Well, it turns out that as I was setting down these other 2008 ornaments for my family. This lady happened to get the same idea as me, which would of been cool had those three angels not been the last ones.

SO........

to my dismay, this lady grabs the angels and looks at me saying, "Well, you did see them first... so let's Rock, Paper, Sissor for them!" Totally being serious as she placed her two hands in battle position. A little caught off gaurd by what just happened... I just looked at her crazy! Are you serious... Christmas Shopping has resorted to Rock, Paper, Sissor battles! Man, I have been out of the shopping scene for a while now. lol wink wink I really think a couple seconds, maybe even a good minute went by before I actually responsed to her saying, "Nah.. .it really looks like you have your heart set on those angels. I pray they bring you happiness and joy!" and I walked away.

Now Mylah watching the whole thing and being three pipes up saying, "Mommy... why did she take those angels from you?" Crazy shopping lady heard Mylah and I just replied, "Honey... Those are just people God sends into your life to learn patience from! We just thank God for them honey!" And we just walked away... Now I want you to know... had Crazy Shopper said, "Let's Thumb War for them." I would of been down and kicked her crazy shopping butt!!! Man people are nuts.... Well, long story short... I ended up with a picture frame!
