Shopping madly.. lol.. at five below ... and I will hopefully actually get my cards and international mail out by this weekend. Things have been strange lately, but certainly as they say,, Life does go on.
My only advice to everyone this season is probably the same advice I give out every year....
Tis the season to watch everything, lock your car,, park under the lights.. check your lists twice,, and very important as always, check your receipts,, either while in the store or before you leave the parking lot because as usual, for some reason, and I think it is because people feel so harried about getting things done for "quote/unquote" Christmas,, despite the fact, that we should be living like it is Christmas every day, because it is.. as long as we are alive on this planet----every year, I find more mistakes are made at the cash register than other times of year.
A quick example, I finally felt well enough,, (back problems) to shop last week and when I got out into the parking lot,, this time it was at the PX, military exchange, I looked at my receipt,, and started matching items.. and I had been charged 2Xs for tape,, and gloves, and the 25% discount on a purse had not been given,
so of course I had to turn around and go back to customer service, explain the dilemma,, and that cost me over an hour of my precious time, which is what so irritated me the most. The overcharge amount to 50.00 and I have that woman's face memorized, so I will never go into her line again. However, it was resolved, but it never should have happened in the first place. I appreciate the reminder and heads up that Tis the season to watch cash registers and receipts and SLOW DOWN.
It snowed here yesterday so I thoght I would include a photo I took last year when it snowed by the Potomac, a reminder that peace still reigns somewhere and it is obviously NOT at the mall. :)
