Maybe it's just me...

On Conference Saturday, what is the one thing you want to do? What do you look forward to all week. Going to Deseret Book, right? Wrong. You think about watching conference at home with the family and knitting away the day (maybe that's just me). I think it's dumb that Deseret Book is open today. The only reason I think they are open is so they can prepare for ladies night, which occurs tonight from 6:00-8:00pm in Denver, I don't know when it happens for the other stores around the nation. And I know there are worldwide readers reading this. Maybe I should translate to Spanish, everyone seems to know some Spanish. Anyway. Ladies Night could be translated to Black Friday for Deseret Book. All week, moms stay cramped up inside the house cleaning, doing laundry, cleaning up messes, changing diapers and yelling at kids. Then Saturday comes and the anticipation they feel for Ladies Night cannot be contained. When the clock strikes 6:00pm they let loose! We're talking looser then loose. We're talking leaving the kids at home OR unattended in the children's section of the store, gossiping, spending over $100 and staying out 'till 9:00, maybe even 10:00! At Ladies Night women come in and drop all of their last paycheck, they come with friends and chit chat while sampling chocolate cream cake and carrot cake. It's crazy. A surge of estrogen comes into the store and takes power on Ladies Night. And if a man walks in, everything stops. The samples are hidden in the lights, the armfuls of merchandise are dropped, and the $20 budgeted spending cash is pulled out while the credit cards are swallowed. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't be letting out all these secrets. I'm sure in the morning I'll find a sign "Mormon Moms Have The Right To Party" posted in my yard.

Anyway, that's what goes on at Ladies Night. A bunch of women spending money and gabbing. And if the husbands found out, oh that would be bad.
