Happy Holidays from House of Furniture in Clovis, New Mexico





Do You Still Have Shopping to Do?

If you are anything like me, even though it's only 5 days until Christmas, you have found a way to put off some (or maybe all, no judging here) shopping until the last minute. Now, luckily, the majority of my shopping has been completed before the two-minute warning of the Christmas holiday. Still, I am going to have to brave the traffic and crowds that build up around the mall to get those items for people who gave me their wish list a little too late. Well, at least that's what I am going to blame it on, for now...

The Mall: aka The Dreadlands

Whenever I have to go to the mall within a week of Christmas day, I feel like I might benefit by dressing up similarly to a Mad Max villain when I go shopping. Large dense crowds and long lines can make for an excruciating experience. This year, the main reason I am having to even go to the mall is that when I went to purchase a purse as a gift for my mom, I saw that they have the same exact tote I bought two weeks ago discounted by 50% now. Usually, I wouldn't let that get to me, but we are talking about a pretty hefty discount. I called to ask about what we could do, and they told me to come back in, and they would help me. As long as I make it out with all my fingers, it may actually be worth it. 

The other item that I need to get is a toy for my nephew. Apparently, robot dinosaurs are a hot item this year, and I tried to get one earlier this month. I was told that they are expecting another shipment of the toys in soon and that if I wanted to order one, they could have it shipped to my house. It sounded like a fantastic idea. Sadly, the toy came to the store late and the only way I am guaranteed to be able to have it in my hands by Christmas day is to go pick it up. It's worth driving around for an hour looking for a parking spot since he's a good kid. 

I have a few other items to get for stocking stuffers, but I can get those at almost anywhere other than the Mall.

Nightmare Traffic

Driving anywhere within a three-mile radius of any shopping center can be a real fun time. Since sarcasm rarely translated through text, I will just say that I am not serious when I say it's fun. Suddenly, when looking for a spot to park, driving turns into a game of Frogger except that you don't get any extra lives, you just get to pay extra on your insurance for a few years. Inevitably, I forget where I parked, and I spend a half hour hitting the lock button on my key fob to try and echo-locate my car. Typically there are a couple of other people in the same predicament, and I am thrown off by their horns. I think next year, I will just replace my regular old car horn with a tugboat's foghorn.

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than others
