Tonight I went to the store after the girls went to bed to pick up a few things. As I entered the store I noticed a lady looking at the Mother’s Day cards. No biggie, only like five days until Sunday so she’s getting her choosing done.
I wander around the store picking up my assorted items, pondering if there is anything I might want. Back and forth I wander for about 10 minutes. I head up front, check out and head for the door.
The lady is still there, reading the cards. 15 minutes after I first saw her when I came in the store. Still. Reading. The. Cards.
How do you read Mother’s Day cards for 15 minutes? I think my head would explode.
In other news, I made enchiladas tonight. I was at the store getting corn tortillas and onions. I made chicken and cheese enchiladas. Tomorrow we’ll cook them up and see how I did. I hope the kids like them.

My card buying process:
Begin scan… Too mushy, too formal, too flippant, too childish, too fopish, too fey, ah ok, this is the only one left. Ring this up, card store girl. Elapsed time: 1 minute, 30 seconds.
I’ve spent plenty of time looking at cards with the wife. There have been times I’ve thought I was going to wig out at times. I walk up, the first card I find that I like, that’s the one baby!
It’s obvious how men think about cards.
