Is it them or is it me?

So I finally attempted to go out into the world today since I am feeling a little better and since we need food in our house pretty bad. Before I began my shopping I decided to pick myself up a sandwich at the food court and sit down and eat before I began my grocery shopping. The so called "mall" we have up here wasn't very busy but there were people in the food court sitting and chatting. I found myself a table and sat down and started to enjoy my lunch until some strange man came up and just randomly sat down beside me. So I tried to ignore it until his friend comes up and sits down as well and they start talking. So in a huff I packed up my lunch and I left.
Seriously all I wanted to do was eat my lunch and not be irritated by other peoples conversations in my ear! There were probably 15 or more other tables to choose from! I could understand if there were no where else to sit, but I think just sitting at someones table without asking is just plain rude and it totally through me into a bad mood. Maybe I have a totally different mentality than the locals do up here since I grew up around the Toronto area. I find everyone up here just takes their time and they don't seem to care if they are driving 60km/h in an 80km/h (which happens soooo often you have no idea!).
I'm just a little more high pace than this place and it can seriously bring out some anxiety in me. A really big adjustment that I've had to make is the fact that nothing is open late here. I'm use to 24 hr grocery stores, wal-marts, zellers, drug stores etc... Up here you are lucky if something is open until 9pm but many of the businesses are closed at 5 or 6!
It is funny how people around here talk trash about Toronto traffic considering up here it seems to be just as bad lately. The main road has been closed for construction for around 5 months now! What takes 5 months to complete? Do they have 4 people working on the project or something? I use to get mad driving on the 401 with all the constant repairs going on there but at least they are making some progress unlike the main street up here it seems.
While I was out I trying not to let other people get the better of me, I bought some Johnson's bedtime bath for the baby or should I say for me! I use to use it all the time when my oldest was a baby and I just loved it! It is a very relaxing product and with me being pregnant, sick and in a bad mood from the outside world I can't wait to lay in the tub tonight and de-stress. I'm sure the baby won't mind sharing his bathing products with me... not that he has a choice!

  1. I love Johnson's Bedtime bath for baby too! I wish they'd make stuff for adults that's as gentle as the stuff they make for babies
