Forgot to go online yesterday crying ... Hate missing my daily chances. I was out for most of the morning with doctor appointment and shopping (grocery razz ). We found a new video rental thingy at WalMart. We rented two movies for 2 bucks + tax. Pretty cool. Saw Hairspray and the DaVinci Code. Enjoyed both movies.
We're going to the Farmer's Market this morning...yeah it may seem a little boring but it can be quite exhausting for me. I have stamina issues and this market is looooong to walk and they're not equipped with electric carts.
Oh yeah, at WalMart yesterday, my nemesis greeter was there. It amazes me how she can be still employed there. She has attitude for days and she gave me the impression yesterday that she does not like folks who aren't her "color". The last time I had a confrontation with her...apparently you are not supposed to patronize McDonalds when you're in the motorized cart. (When McD's is included inside the store, past Customer Service AND their beauty shop?? COME ON!!!! We're INSIDE WalMart)!! So she informed us of that and then kept us there admonishing us about our use of the cart. I mean it, she told us at the very least 7 times. How dull does she think we are? I was very offended by the 3rd time. After the 3rd time, my girl just walked away thinking I was behind her, but the greeter had me wedged in the carts and would not get out of my way. That's when she admonished me 4 more times!! I was getting pretty angry by then but I try not to blast off in public so I swallowed what she was saying. I guess because I didn't give her the response she wanted (??), she then started spouting off scriptures to me. I finally got away. So angry.
Okay that's the history of the third time we had dealings with her. Yesterday while I waited for a cart, I observed her demeanor and attitude with people. Those of her color, she was pleasant and chatty; those of another ethnicity, she shrugged off at best or completely ignored. I had the opportunity to watch her for about 15 minutes. As we were returning the carts after our shopping, I made it a point to engage her in conversation. She tried really hard to give me short answers and looked around me instead of at me. In the middle of my sentence, she quickly departed and began speaking to a man of her color, completely dissing me. I was not angry this time. I've made a decision that I will befriend this woman, even if it kills her. At first I was going to do it to spite her, but now I realize that does not make me a better person. I think she needs to know some nice "other ethnic" people. Maybe it will make a difference. We'll see. I'll keep you updated...I mean this is the perfect time of year for changing hearts. heart heart Ho! Ho! Ho!
