“I know that dude’s ballin,
and yeah, that’s nice,
And they gonna keep callin’ and tryin’
but you stay right, girl,
And when you get on,
he leave yo ass for a [Brown] girl.”

Well, damn it all to hell.

I am slightly agitated.

I made the effort this year to shop BEFORE Christmas Eve.  Why?  Because I thought I could ENJOY the holiday more if I didn’t feel rushed to make purchases.  I was so excited.  I found a great deal on a great gift for Bryan, ordered it, and got the shipping order.

Four days ago.

Today, an email from Target let me know that the smaller part of the gift has shipped.  And there might be a slight delay on the bigger part.  Slight delay, huh?  Estimated shipping date.. FEBRUARY 20TH.

I don’t understand, Target.  You and I have a long-standing relationship.  We love eachother.  I give you my money, sometimes in gobs, and you provide me with better-than-WalMart items.  Isn’t that a merry little exchange?  Then why-oh-why would you lie to me?  Give me such a false sense of security?  Why would you deceive me, Target?  WHY?

Conveniently, there are some available in the stores of this area, so my errands today will involve hunting one down.  While grimacing and muttering, “Bah Humbug!”.  It’s ironic to me that their logo is a Bulls Eye. 

In other news, we will be doing Christmas Cards this week.  If you would like one, send me your address.
