"Coupons" are not pronounced "cue-pawns". I don't care what anybody says.

So this weekend we did the traditional "father-daughter" Christmas shopping trip. Ever since we were little girls, my dad took us to Mamma Mia's to get pizza, then we would go to the mall to get my mom a Christmas gift. Now, far into our adulthood, we are still doing it. Although now it's more like a "Jesus CHRIST can we get a DRINK with our pizza?!" and "Can we make this quick? I've already shopped for everyone, which makes this unnecessary."

But yeah, I previously talked about my sister Sally and her godforsaken coupons. And how she has a binder of them. And how she buys things that she doesn't really need only because she has a coupon. For Chrissakes, Sally would buy DIAPERS if she had a coupon for them. Or ADULT diapers.

So I witnessed this first hand on our shopping trip. We were at Target, and Sally had a magazine and a book that she put up on the counter. Next thing I know, she has two packages of AA batteries that she throws up there too. (Side note: Sally is the ONLY person above the age of 10 that STILL gets distracted by the things that are put in that small section at the checkout while you're waiting in line.) So once she picks up these batteries, I give her a weird look and say "Are you SERIOUS?" She then says this to me: "Just watch, Jen. Just WATCH how I don't spend any money," and smiles like she's ten years old.

I guess it's much worse when she's at the grocery store. Because THEN she brings a STACK of coupons. I previously told her that speaking from experience, the cashier is going to "HATE her". She then assured me that "no, the girl likes me. She always asks me where I get my cuepawns". And here I am thinking, there is just no way that a cashier could like ANYONE with a stack of coupons that thick.

Anyway, on to the next sister.

I was going out somewhere with Lucy over the weekend, and I was trying to pick out music that we could listen to on our trip. So I looked at her CD collection, which is about 8 CDs.

This is what I found, from left to right:

1) Aly and AJ (two CDs) (otherwise known as the girls from the disney channel)
2) Dispatch (a somewhat cool band, although they suck kind of)
3) Norah Jones (.......yeah)
4) O.A.R. (This is the only one that's okay with me)
5) Frank Sinatra (cool guy, you might have heard of him)
6) Ben Harper (kind of a hippie)
7) Justin Timberlake (This man has no business in music. I used to be obsessed with him. Then I turned nine)

So as I was criticizing her music collection, I was drinking a beer (duh). As I left the room, I totally planned to come back, as I was just checking my phone. She didn't know that. So, apparently, she told me that she didn't know if I was going to come back to her room, and to answer her own question, she looked around to see if I left my beer in there. So this is what my life has come to. People wondering where I am and looking for my beer. "Is she coming back?" "Oh I don't know, is her beer in here?" As disappointing as it may sound, I'm kind of proud of this.


Anywhores.
