Starting the Thanksgiving Ritual

I went shopping yesterday. No, we went shopping. What is it about shopping with your partner for the holiday provisions and it ends up a cause for fighting rounds. The agitation not fight was over when was the best day to come because the traffic would be different and the shelves would be better stocked. See I don't drive(that's a conversation for another day) and when i was living in Philly I would do the bulk of it on my own. Here, I'm still not familiar with the store layout, I'm price comparison and coupon matching and you really don't want to hear "What you looking for?" and "I don't like shopping today because the shelves are picked bare." You know those termites. So I breathe and count to ten and breathe and count some more and remind myself this is your overreaction. I pulled myself together and almost made it through the store but i got annoyed. Why are all you people in the store. Isn't there a Redskins game. Go home people!(love me some Eagle seven though they really, really messed up in that game with the Bengals.) See look at me transferring to Redskins fans. So whats really bothering me. I feel out of place. Dependant. ill at ease. But, Thanksgiving dinner goes forward. I have people coming and I want those ingredients. Hopefully, I will have the rest of the items by Friday and the cooking will commence. We'll deal with my feelings later. Gotta go plan my next shopping trip. It will be better and on the appropriate day. Ha!
