Edited to add: Because I'm a greedy bitch, I updated my wishlist. That way, all you wonderful people can see all the goods I want but can't have.

The question I pose to you today, SG, comes again from my perilous journeys to Wal-Mart. I really feel that I must stop shopping there soon, because every time I go in, I see stupidity at it's finest. Hell, sometimes I don't even have to get IN, I see it outside. But, alas, there are no other "buy everything you need and then some in one place" places like Wal-Mart around me, so I have no choice as of yet.
The question I have is this: Since when has it become socially acceptable, or even a sign of having any kind of parenting skills whatsoever, to yell "Get your little ass over here right now, you little bastard! Damnit, I will bust your ass right in the middle of this goddamn store, I'm serious!" to a child that cannot be older than maybe 5? I think everyone surrounding this lady, who had 4 other children in tow that looked to range from about 7 to an infant, looked at her in open-mouthed astonishment. Later, the same lady was yelling at one of the other children when I walked past: "Pick your goddamn feet up when you walk, damnit! I swear to God, I have to yell at you little shits all the time, don't I?"
I really wanted to punch that lady for talking to those kids like that. Now, my mother and I had MANY screaming, cursing matches at one another when I was about 16 or 17 years old...which, I'm not saying was good...but hell, I was also far closer to an adult than these little kids I saw today.
Honestly, some people should NOT have kids.
And for some good news...my boss has not heard anything about the lady from the other day. This is where the saying "No news is good news" rings true. Most people, if they're seriously going to call in a complaint or try to get a lawsuit, will do so within the first 24 hours. I think she was trying to bait us into having some kind of larger altercation with her, or to get us to let her go (because she may or may not have actually STILL had some merchandise). So, I think my boss may be safe, thank God.
In other non-related to anything important news...I
Pottery Barn. I got their new catalogue in the mail, and I swear to God if I had unlimited funding to decorate our place (or in the future, our house) I would scrap every piece of furniture and decoration we have in this house (with the exception of my Ansel Adams' pictures) and start all over with just the catalogue in hand. Yea, I'm a greedy consumer- whataboutit?
I re-potted some plants today. I hope my green thumb holds for TWO plants instead of just one. I think, if I can raise a dog, a boyfriend, and two plants, I may be ready for marriage and children.
