Bolt on the Wii is rated E for everyone, look closely at the E.  It says: 10+  In other words, not meant for a 5 year old or a grown up supposed intelligent adult. So return it for Batman Leggos on the Wii.  A little better but stll 10+  At least this one I can figure out!!

Receive an awesome remote control car that does tricks and flips from your cousin.  Too bad it doesn't work.  Exchange for...ooops they are out....store credit for the sale price and get a hot wheels track.  Take hot wheels track home only to realize it has been opened and taped shut.  No car, missing pieces and stickers are GONE!  Go back to return that item plus the two others you purchased earlier and see the line has now quadrupled in length and say out very loud, "NO FREAKING WAY!"  Purchase an entirely different hot wheels track and decide to come back the next day.

Go back the next day and discover you are stuck in the same ridiculously long line.  Stand in line for 45 minutes and receive a full refund for your purchases and move on to the next store of choice.

Aren't returns fun???  But wait there's more.  Head to Wally for some regular purchases, plus a much needed new house phone and some other items.  Aside from blowing a huge chunk of change you see that the Christmas leftovers are just that...leftovers.  You also learn that people likely push their carts in the same fashion in which the drive!  Exhausted, you return home and hope to never go back.  And we all know how that story goes!

What did you have to return this year?

My only return is an online item. Too bad the return/packing slip got thrown away. It's making it a bit harder - but no lines!

I also went to Best Buy and stood in a very L O N G line.

Ahh lucky me, I didn't have to return a thing - but I've been there before. The storms we've had slowed down the shopping/returning madness that usually happens right after Christmas though.

I really really HATE returning things. Luckily this year I had nothing to return! My older kids did though so they did it themselves - OHHH Yeah!
The traffic has been horrendous though just doing anything!!

Still haven't done my returns. Just lazy, I guess. What are you going to do?
I love your poem/song! And people do drive their cars and carts the same way.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
