Well over an hour later I'm home. The bf doesn't even know I left. Oops. lol Ended up making a detour at Wal-Hell for more school supplies. I'm always reminded why I hate that place...
Never watched Big Brother. I'm glad now. Sorry about Walmart. I try to buy online if I have to shop from there. Their shipping's pretty quick, and it's just less heinous in all ways.

Nope, I totally get you. I'm a lot like that, though I actually require humor above all else (an absolute requirement) or else it's doomed from the start. The few dates I had with men who just never, ever laughed were absolute torture. I may or may have not considered staging an emergency just to get out of it.
I loathe shopping. I'm so not a real chick. The 10th grader came home with this list of stuff she HASSSSSS to have for tomorrow. Sorry, I don't shop for "due the next day" things for any teacher. Drives me crazy. I told Hannah she will not fail life if she doesn't have her protractor and compass tomorrow. Was going to go out tomorrow BUT.... when? I don't want to miss jobs. Sigh. So... figured I might as well suck it up and go tonight. But... no protractors. No folders. And 3" binders are stupid ass expensive.

How could I forget? I'm falling asleep here, obviously. Oh yes. It's not as strict a requirement as the others, for me, but yeah if he's too serious it's not going to work out either. I'm smart and all, and I can talk several different kinds of Smart People Talk, but so help me I'm balls at being grownup and serious all the time. If he has no imagination... ...that actually might be more important than humor. I don't care how funny he is, but if he has no imagination I'm probably just going to freak him out.
LOL...I can't not think of this whenever someone says Walmart. [video=youtube;KP9GmIKefL8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP9GmIKefL8[/video]
That's weird the teachers don't give you more warning about what you're going to need. I used to work in the school/office supplies department at my old store, and we usually got supplies lists like weeks before the sales, even. Which were before school started. When did school start? Trucks for non-grocery items are not always the fastest things, it might be a few days before more stuff comes in. (oh and: not a super big fan of shopping either. what's a real chick anyway?)
Everyone else does. Just not the high schoolers. They make you wait until you get to school and the individual teachers let you know what you need. I found everything my 5th and 2nd graders needed (That Target didn't have anymore of) at Office Max. I'll just get her the rest of her stuff before Monday. I'm not worried about it. If they don't even let us know what is needed until after school starts... they just gonna have to chill a bit... And I am SO not going back to Walmart. I only went there because it was the only thing open at 11pm LOL I go in there like once a year
Well I will say that most of my women friends love shopping. So maybe it's stereotypical but seems to be typical. I'm odd and it's ok haha. It saves me money I cannot stand just looking around. I like to go get what I need and get the heck out.
*laughs* Me too. I think the puppet show I once put on in bed to keep my ex from falling asleep (and boy was he ready to strangle me until he lost it 10 mins in and died laughing) pretty much speaks for itself.
