Maurine gave her point of view last week about the parking lot, now here’s mine. I have a  strategy when we go shopping, I don’t park close because we are going to walk so much in the store anyway. Here is the real method to my madness, I am strategizing how to get out of the parking lot the quickest.  I park where there is no cross walks or stop signs because that will take up unnecessary time waiting to get out of the parking lot.  I also check out traffic flow, will it be hard to get out or can I just make my move?

I guess you can say I focus on the departure rather than the arrival or the shopping experience. I really dislike spending a lot of time shopping. I know what I want, so I pick it up and go. When shopping for clothes, I shop off of the displays, because I have no fashion sense.  When I look nice it is because Maurine picked out my clothes.  I rarely try on anything at the store unless Maurine makes me. I will say I will try it on at home and more than likely  it doesn’t fit.  Maurine tries on everything, she take clothes in and comes out with nothing because none of them fit correctly. Maurine loves to shop, she doesn’t buy much because she takes care of everyone else before herself.

The following is from my wife Maurine.  She will be a guest blogger on different topics and you will hear from her occasionally.  

Okay, so we all know that men and women are definitely wired differently.  Rodney and I started talking about writing a blog about the differences several months ago and calling it he said she said.  This idea came to us when we went to Wal-Mart together.  Of course when I go, I look for the parking space closest to the doors.  So when I went with Rodney and he parks furthest from the doors, I thought he was completely crazy and had lost his mind.  His thought is you are going to walk once you get inside so it doesn’t hurt to park far away.  We laughed about it and now every time we pull in the parking lot we joke about it. 

Can anyone out there relate with me on this?  Would love to hear your stories.
