I’m in a much better mood today

Don’t ask me why because I couldn’t tell you. I woke up on the right side this morning, made muffins, coffee and J’s lunch and saw him off to work then started getting ready myself. I’m saving some time today and not straightening my hair, so I’m kinda takin it easy this morning.

I guess the last 24 hours have been kind of easy peasy so that puts me in a much more pleasant state of mind. I logged onto Twitter this morning and my cousin in Kansas has posted some cute videos of her daughter on youtube, and my other cousin Wes made a cameo appearance and I can even hear my Aunt in the background. Great way to start my day.

Speaking of videos, I have a few to post from the concert on Saturday at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. The first video is of the stadium, before we got to our seats I thought I’d film a dead on view of the stage, not like you can see it from that far away…then there’s my sisters singing along to Check Yes or No by George Strait. The third is video of the ginormous screen that we could see better than the stage. I have more videos to upload and I’ll post them later. Enjoy the videos, laugh at my sisters (and me cuz you can hear me singing) and have a great Wednesday everyone!

For the longest time when I started working at my current job, I would stop in the morning at a corner store here. Every morning. I was drinking that Monster energy drink daily at the time and stopped to get it there each day. When I broke the habit of drinking those, I started getting grief from the store owner because I wasn’t coming in as often. His usual, “See you tomorrow!” became, “wrong time! wrong time! we don’t see you in the morning no more?” and so on…

At first I took it with a smile, thought it was nice that he was so friendly, yada yada. But then one day it struck me that I didn’t owe him my business and it started getting on my nerves. It’s one thing to be friendly but it’s a whole different thing to be annoying and act like someone should be patronizing your business every day.

I got so annoyed with it that I hardly go anymore. I stopped in this morning because I needed a drink for later in the day and he was polite and asked after my family. Nice, but I think fortunately and finally I’ve fallen into the different category of shopper. The occasional shopper. He did ask me if I drink coffee and I said no (one of his tactics to try to get me there each day, for free coffee).

I do drink coffee, but I don’t want it from his store because I don’t know how fresh it is. The coffee I have at work I make, so I know how fresh it is, and it’s how I like it, and it’s also free.

Have you ever decided to stop shopping somewhere because of something the staff has done?
