I usually try not to do any painting or anything on the weekends so that I don’t get burned out on any projects that I am working on and end up walking away from them. So, no art news to post today.
Today we had plans to visit Anthony’s mom because his uncle was celebrating his 73rd birthday today!! I also had to pick up holiday cards ::sigh:: it seems as if it is a lot more difficult to find actual holiday cards in Florida (as opposed to Christmas cards) than it ever was in Chicago. So- on 2 separate occasions today people seemed to be confused about lining up for checkout. The first time a gentleman walked up to the line of people, which obviously went from the register out into the walkway of the store with about 15 people standing there. He stood for a minute or two and looked at the people and then said “Oh, this must be the line”. Really? It took you two minutes to realize that it was a line of people for checkout and we really weren’t about to start a flash-mob? The second time was actually weirder, believe it or not. The woman walked up to us (it was only Anthony & I) looked around and said, “Where does the line start?”. Seriously lady, there are 2 people and a cashier, where do you think it starts? She actually stood off to the side until the cashier told her she could approach.
We also had to deal with someone driving literally 15 miles an hour below the speed limit (20 in a 35) and stopping at every crosswalk when there were no stop signs, and no pedestrians. I have decided that I should stay inside more often- interacting with people just puts me off.
