Kharma - the good and the bad
Let's recap:
About two weeks ago my oldest and I were visiting Quiznos for lunch and she headed over to the pepper/pickle bar (I'm thinking about putting one of these in my kitchen) and comes back with not only peppers and pickles but also a credit card.
It's not mine. Someone named Daniel. After briefly considering having lunch on Daniel, I decided to ask if there was anyone in the building with this name and lo and behold he was stuffin' himself in the back corner. Ever so grateful to get his credit card back he said "Wow, thanks."
Oldest was hoping for a cash reward.
Last night my family and I attended a 4th grade spring concert. As we were leaving, middle daughter finds George Cotanza's wallet.

Last night my family and I attended a 4th grade spring concert. As we were leaving, middle daughter finds George Cotanza's wallet.
After looking around and ascertaining that no one was looking for it, I decided I would take it with me and turn it into the school principal. While I was in the mob with the other 700 parents, I notice someone who I thought might be looking for something. I approached and asked if they lost something and frantically they replied their wallet. Grateful that someone honest had found it they said, "Wow, thanks."
I was hoping for a cash reward.
Today at Stuff-Mart, I left one of my bags behind. Raise your hand if you hate those little turn tables that they put all the groceries on. Yeah...me too. Anyhoo, it was quite sometime before I realized that I had left my bag behind and when I called Stuff-Mart they told me that it was not in their "Oh, shit, I left my bag behind department."
In other words, there was no one for me to stay "Wow, Thanks" to. Perfect. I thought there was some old Chinese proverb that said what goes around comes around. How come someone kept all my stuff?
To the person who took my bag and didn't return it: I hope you enjoy those CD-RWs that you didn't pay for. May you never lose any information you store on them. Here's hoping that you hate country music or that you already have the new Taylor Swift CD. Enjoy the tuna and the flat bread. I hear it is good for you.
A happy ending: It wouldn't be right not to end this by giving Stuff-Mart a shout out. The "Oh, shit, I left my bag behind department" let me get all of the stuff without much question. In fact, when I explained that there were no more packs of CD-RWs (the only reason I went to Stuff-Mart in the first place) the refunded the amount of the disks.

What I learned this week
It is Thursday and time for my "What I learned this week posting." Feel free to play along and let me know what you learned.
- I learned that having a long weekend with the kids can actually be fun. Sure there were times when I thought, "When do you go back to school?" but there were also times when they played dress up, and hide and seek, and made caves out of the couch cushions.
- I learned that going to Stuff-mart is never a good idea.
- I learned that I can defeat the clutter monster in my house. One. Room. at. a. time.
- I learned that Facebook is more hassle than it is worth. Please note: If we weren't friends in high school I have no desire to be your friend now. Why do you think I didn't include my maiden name? It's because I'm hiding from you.
- I learned bloggy buddies can really cheer you up.

Dear Bitch from the Stuff-mart Parking Lot
Mama Kat's assignment this week couldn't be more pefect for me as one of the writing prompts is to write a letter to someone who annoyed you this week. I have high hopes for this letter and by high hopes I mean that I won't need to seek out therapy because of this incident.
DearBitch Misunderstood woman from the Stuff-mart Parking lot:
I noticed on Monday that your parking lot driving skills really need some improvement. I have taken it upon myself to make some minor suggestions.
Sincerely,
Pissed off woman in a minivan
Dear
I noticed on Monday that your parking lot driving skills really need some improvement. I have taken it upon myself to make some minor suggestions.
- Blocking the entire lane through the parking lot while waiting for someone to leave is NOT acceptable. I should be able to manuver around you if I want to.
- Your ability to sucessfully T-bone someone else in, is not my problem. I do not need to back up so that you can let them out. You need to PULL FORWARD!
- Getting out of your car to scream at me while my children are with me because I won't back up on to a major through way shows your extreme inmaturity and helps me to understand the legal defination of temporary insanity. If given a juror trial, I would have been acquited from any bodily harm I could have inflicted upon you.
- Should you have pulled forward, as was required, you would have gotten a better parking spot. I know this because it is the spot we got--one away from the handicapped spot and near the front door.
Sincerely,
Pissed off woman in a minivan
