I don\’t know how normal people with large nuclear families do it. I spent a couple of hours yesterday and today doing my final Christmas shopping and I\’ve had an impacted assfull of Christmas. Most of my gifts were purchased online. So, I\’m a smartee in that way. But the biggest beat down over the past couple of days was going to the grocery store.
I\’m having a couple of friends who have no where else to go over for Christmas dinner. Recently I saw a nice free range turkey breast (I guess the rest of the body is in a coup) at Central Market a few days ago. I almost bought it, but didn\’t want to have a raw unfrozen turkey in my fridge for more than a day. So I went back to CM yesterday and they were out of those breasts. I went back today and there was no improvement on the turkey breast front. I then went over to the new giant Whole Foods on Preston and Forest. Good Christ is that place nice. It is huge and it doesn\’t stink of raw fish and patchouli like the one on Greenville. Luckily they had my prized turkey breast. I can\’t wait for the new Whole Foods in Lakewood to finally get build. Too bad it\’s looking like early 2009.
One final comment about the holidays. You know it\’s bad enough to be behind some moron chatting away on their cellphone on the roads. It\’s 10 times worse at the grocery store. These people are moving slowly in a packed stored full of frantic people that mostly know where they need to go. No so these douchenozzles. They\’re just slowly moving down an aisle or, even better, just standing in the middle of an aisle while others have to maneuver around them. So, to you Cellphone Talking Grocery Shopping Persons, I give you a hearty Merry Fucking Christmas.
