Okay SO i have this BIG story about today that just once again shakes up my faith in human kind and Anne Frank saying that deep down all people are good. Yes, my experience today has made me doubt that.

So okay, I'm at Target with my mom, & we see that kitty litter is on sale, you know in those displays that are in front of/between aisles. So we put a box in, then my mom goes to check other kitty litter box sizes or whatever whatever a couple aisles down, either one or two. I follow her, & then me & her talk about kitty toys and whatever. So then I go back to the outside aisle to see this woman, thirty ish, taking the kitty litter out of my cart & back onto the display. I think that she's confused, that she thinks it's her cart or something so I go, "Uhm excuse me, that's our cart." Thinking that she's just going to apologize quickly & move on, she looks @ me, and goes "Then why isn't it with you?" I'm a little ticked, bc hey she's taking my cart! So I'm all, "It has our stuff in it, so it's my cart." And then she's all "Well then, your cart should be with you, you should take your cart with you." I said "I didn't think I had to since I had something in it already!" So then she's all walking away and I'm just mystified, thinking that there are people like this, and I can hear her mutter "Stupid..." while shaking her head, and I say in the same tone of voice "Excuuuse me...". JEEZ!!!

People are soo mean! What the hell! Okay, I'd understand if one, I'm halfway across the store for five minutes or something, or two, if the cart was empty, or three if she thought that the cart was her. & I wasn't mean @ all (I think) when I told her that the cart was mine @ first. But seriously! There's stuff in the cart! A 21 lbs box of kitty litter! Get your own damn cart!!! Just bc there's no one near the cart at the moment, but there's stuff inside, doesn't mean that the cart is up for grabs! There's hella carts in the front, you know, where you enter, the first place you go when you come in the store! It's not like it's hard to get a cart! GRR!

Okay, yes Owen, I know, my cart should always be within eye distance from now on. But seriously, when you're shopping in narrow aisles with five other people with their carts, sometimes it makes more sense to leave your cart on the side while you shop for a minute or two, esp. if you have something in there already. People are mean. I'm quite ticked.

Other than that... uhhm my mom & I took our cats to the backyard & Nala got mean & Ewok got all adventurous and playful. I don't want to go to college bc my mom's going to let them go outside on their own and I don't want to have dirty, outside cats who end up as that stuff on Columbus Parkway that my carpools avoid on their way to & from school. No, I won't have that.

Sorry... man that event @ Target today made me angry & saddened. Every time I see kitty litter now I will be reminded of that incident.
