Bye Bye Books

Logie and I have just returned from Buy Buy Baby, where I managed to knock down a shelf full of books and also completely offend a woman at the checkout line.

It's not my fault they put the big plastic sign on top of the shelf with about -.5 millimeters of space, right by the book Logie wanted to see.  The sign fell, taking about 30 books CRASHING down along with it in the middle of the aisle.  And since nobody was in the store yet (who goes shopping at a store the second it opens?  Oh, someone who has been up for HOURS already, that's who), it made a really loud, continuous echoing sound.  I was about to hightail it away from the scene when a worker arrived to clean everything up.  Busted.  I said, "oh!  great!  I was about to come and find someone to let them know what happened."  [LIE] 

I waited another few seconds and also said, "oh, here, let me help you" while sticking out my arm, half-ass moving towards them with the stroller. Thinking the whole time, ''CAN'T YOU SEE I HAVE A BABY HERE?  I CAN'T BE PICKING UP BOOKS ON THE FLOOR.  I MIGHT GET A GERM."  "Oh, don't worry, I've got it" the worker said, clearly pissed.  "Are you sure??" I asked, as I wheeled Logie away. 

That happened about 3 minutes after I managed to unintentionally say something offensive to the only other woman who was shopping in the store.  As Logie and I strolled by, she said to her year-ish old daughter "look honey!  a BABY!  CAN YOU SAY BABY!  HI CUTE BABY!!!!!"  And I stopped and said, "aw thanks!  oh man!  I sure don't want my baby to ever get as big as YOUR baby!!"

WHO SAYS THAT?  I felt like such an ass.  And rightfully so.

Guess what we're doing tonight?  Going to look at more houses!  Woot Woot!  I think I made our realtor a little nervous when I threatened to make an offer on a house when we had only been to about 5 open houses, so she stepped it into high gear and now we are on a fabulous house tour of Austin.  She said, "have you looked at other houses in the area, even if online?"  And I said, "oh yeah.  I know all about the area."  Well, apparently not, since out of the 54 houses she then sent me, I like about 40 of them and had never seen them...  Who has time to look at houses all day!!!!!??????????????????  Forget building!  Demented thinking we could pull that off right now. 

Adios!
