Whoo hoo, lisah!

Congrats, lisah!

I find people are generally stupid in all parking lots. My local Costco is not particularly nightmarish in that regard, though I do have to watch out for people moving slowly with those huge wheeled platforms full of stuff who aren't necessarily watching for traffic, but I become one of those people after shopping there so I can't really complain.

Raley's parking lot seems worse to me, but that may because I am there more often - my gym, eye doctor, dry cleaner, and a couple of restaurants I like are in the same strip mall so I am there all the damn time for one reason or another.

The TJs in the city is nightmare parking. tiny spaces in wierd locations, and a line that wraps around the store. The one in VA is better, parking is still a little whacked, but it's free and plentiful.

People are generally stupid in cars. On the way home, he woman in the car next to me at the red light on the Ralston hill got distracted by her dog, who was sitting in the front next to her, and rolled backwards into the car behind her. It didn't look like there was any damage, but there was definite contact.

My TJs has decent parking. It's also on a flood plain that had water going three feet up the walls after the last hurricane went by. Their rent must be very cheap.

Thanks everybody!!! We picked out the ring together last week at an antique fair but the actual proposal was a surprise. My best friend was having a party last night and called the day before to ask if I could come by early and help out with the kids while she and her husband got ready. So we got there early and my friends and the kids were just leaving to go trick or treating so we had the house to ourselves. A plan that my friend and Bob had worked out evidently. We went in the house and he had me stand in a certain place in the kitchen. I was like "WHAT? Is there something funny behind me? He said it was where I was standing when he first saw me (we met at a baby shower at this friend's house) and his life hasn't been the same since. Then he asked me to marry him. awwww

It was hilarious because I was mostly in my h'ween costume (dressed as a bailbonds place pen..it's a thing here) and he his head was half orange in preparation for becoming a jack o' lantern. so perfect for us!

oh man. that's a really lovely story. So cute.
