Rude!

I don't know what pissed me off more: the fact that the doofy frat guys are in The Amazing Race finals instead of Dallas and Toni, or the rude woman who sat next to me on the train this morning. The empty seat next to me had a newspaper wedged in between the seat and the back. A woman got on the train, looked at it and said to me "excuse me" clearly indicating that she wanted to sit there. I told her it wasn't mine. She continued to stand there just looking at me and the newspaper. I should have just turned away and continued reading my newspaper, but instead I tried to help her by pulling the offending newspaper out. Well, it was wedged in there pretty well, and took me a couple seconds to yank it out. She just stood there the whole time, holding up a line of people behind her. I finally got it out and another woman who had been waiting took it from me to throw in the trash. Then the original rider sat down, saying nothing to either me or the woman who threw the paper out. A "thanks" considering we got her seat ready for her would have been nice.

I think I am forgoing a new coat this winter (it's a recession!) but I have been checking out the puffy down coats anyway. I saw a really nice one today--it was white with a fur-trimmed hood... and it was worn by a dude.

T confessed to me that the only reason he said he only wanted kisses for Christmas was because he was hoping Santa was listening and would be so happy to hear him being a good boy, that he would get extra presents. I'm less mad at him for being untruthful than relieved that I can give him his gifts now and impressed with his ingenuity!
