I feel like a Heel..

It's been awhile since I've posted in the post Christmas/trying to get back into the swing of things/start from scratch with the sales quota haze.
In the spirit of zen and keeping it real in the new year, I have to issue an apology to the nameless woman in the mall parking lot the other day.
I had come back out to my car to find that, despite the lot being pretty much empty, this big ol' monster SUV had decided to parkthisclose to me. This made no sense since I was not in some primo rock star parking lot spot, as well as the afore mentioned myriad of spots she had to chose from. Just like that line from that 70's song "Stuck in the Middle with You" I had jokers to the left of me, clowns to the right. Normally I would just deal but in this instance I was trying to wrangle my squirmy 13 month old into the car through a space no wider than Lindsay Lohan's wrist. My DH entreated me to be careful of the car next to me since he is much nicer than I am, especially since I let loose a tyriad about inconsiderate people and how if they were stupid enough to park that way they deserved whatever ding might be inflicted on them. Imagine my surprise when the door to this monster vehicle opened and this woman leaned in out and said in the sweetest voice, 'That's ok.. I am the mom of twins so you do what you have to do to with your baby". Either she was being sarcastic, or she was just a sweet person.Needless to say, I felt like a big ol' weenie. I was silenced into submission ( suddenly not the big talker anymore) and too stunned to say anything. So, this is my apology to her and to the universe.
I still don't get why she had to park that close to me though!
Ah, the drama of life in the burbs...
