Has anyone been to the mall lately?   Well, I made a trip to the mall yesterday and I have to say, "it ticked me off"!  

I was happily strolling through the mall, glad to be out of the rain and looking at the pretty window displays with all the new Fall fashions and such.   When, "BAM", one of those "cart people" selling painted sand crabs, clip-on hair extensions and the like were in my face.   At first, I was pleasant and answered their questions "where did you get that necklace",  "can I ask you a question?"   But by the end of my shopping trip I was dodging  and plowing right through them.  If I can be frank, I was a bit offended when the guy with the flat iron saw my curly hair (it was a rainy day) and exclaimed "OH MY", as he practically elbowed an elderly women to get to me.   Hmph! 

If I would have stopped for every single one of  those vendors,  I would have walked out of the mall with my hair straightened,  some new sunglasses, a painted sand crab or two, a new phone, a hello kitty suitcase, a clip-on pony tail, salt scrub lotion from the Dead sea, a remote control helicopter and a head massager.   I mean really now!!!
