Every single bad driver in the world is out in force right now,
but my moment of zen was getting behind a woman whose license plate said “MOMABUS”
and whose very large back window was entirely covered with a decal that looked like the hybrid of a design on an Affliction t‑shirt and a metal band logo,
with a gothic cross in the middle and the words “DISCIPLE.”
You guys have no idea how happy I am this pizza parlor is playing Nelly and not Christmas music.
Well, I need to choke down this slice and GTFO of here because somehow this Pandora algorithm resulted in Avril Lavigne.
To be fair, it is kind of adorable in retrospect that she thinks things are so complicated because the guy she likes started wearing nicer clothes.
Oh honey,
get a mortgage and come down with a chronic health ailment and get back to me.
Oh snap.
Boy. I did not see that coming.
Hahahahaha remember the ’90s? *heavy sigh*
I do a pretty good Target lady impression.
Mervyn’s and Target were once owned by the same company. And Mervyn’s was the jealous, underappreciated sibling.

If you want to know who the biggest idiot in the world is, it’s me. I went to Fred Meyer literally just to get oven cleaner.
I am waiting to use the self check out to buy oven cleaner and stove top cleaner and nothing else, and as I watch people try to navigate the commands on the check out screen like they’re carefully deciding which secret prize to pick after exhausting the free roll minigame on a video slot machine, I am having an existential crisis and wondering what the hell I’m doing with my life.
I was thinking, ‘What if I were a skellington?’ then I excitedly realized I AM a skellington ALL THE TIME.
In Washington, if you use a regular size bag, they charge you 5¢.
If you use a slightly smaller, thinner store bag, it’s free.

But yeah, plastic bags are banned in Thurston County.
“Unexpected item in bagging area”
*starts up a chainsaw I tucked into my purse*
I didn’t think our oven was working and that maybe I blew out the pilot light on accident while cleaning it so I just tried the broil setting to see if it would light and that was easily the scariest two minutes of my entire life. It’s fine though I didn’t blow up and the oven works so yay.
Nothing says ‘the holidays’ like Radiohead!
