Another week, another Tuesday... another Weekly Words Challenge.The sweet and wonderful, Tink of Pickled Beef each week decides a couple of words for us to play with, and this weeks words are WANT and GREEN.
I'm a little bit short on time today, so I'll have to keep in brief today. Gotta work a hell of a lot to make up for lost time after being sick all of last week. And, work is pure terror right now as Christmas is coming upon us. What is it with people that turn them into hysterical, rambling madmen (pun intended) during the holiday seasons? Some customers these days are coming very close to pushing me over the edge... I don't think causing serious bodily harm to a customer would do either one of us any good... I don't want to spend Christmas in prison, and I'm sure they don't want to spend it in a wheelchair.
Get a grip, people! I'm only human for cryin' out loud! If it's not in stock - there's just no way I can GUARANTEE that it will be delivered in time for Christmas... that is out of my hands!!!
Let's do the WWC:
I still WANT a Merry Christmas!**********
This is the kind of GREEN that I WANT more of...

Pouring some GREEN Cactus Juice**********
The GREEN felt of my poker table
**********
That's it for this weeks WWC! I've got a few days of hard work ahead... so I might be a little bit of a stranger, both in terms of posting and visiting all your wonderful blogs out there. I'll get back to my usual frequency of blogging soon enough, I hope.
The words for next weeks WWC are LIFE and WHITE. Until then...
Take Care Y'All!

i should come over and mix up some cactus juice cocktails and we can play poker. it'll be good times.
Cactus juice? I hope they de-spine the juice first.
Good luck with the Xmas rush of furniture shoppers!
Did you roll in that money?
Were you tempted to? ;)
Great pictures. You rock.
Tequila Mockingbird: You're welcome any time. I'd kick your butt at the poker table though ;)
Lightning Bug's Butt: Any drink should have a little edge...
Some crazy furniture shoppers out there these days, I tell ya.
Tink: I was indeed tempted to. I think I may have licked them a little before I put them back... just for the taste of money ;)
Haven't you ever seen "Along Came Polly"?! Don't get sick again from licking that money. . . ***ew***
I'm not sure what cactus juice is and I'm not entirely sure I'd want to either? What is it?
Nice job on the photo's, Kid Rock!
I can tell you feel my holiday pain, R.E.H. For your sake I hope people lighten up a little.
Your interpretation of the words cracked me up. :)
Don't work too hard -
fiwa
lol i guess we do have something in common!
i want that green too!
R.E.H. : I feel for you - people get weird - and how come they didn't shop before November anyway - it's not like the holidays are a surprise... :)
Adding you to my links ! I really appreciate how frequently you comnment - and your letter to your 13 year old just blew me away.
Loving Annie
Nice WWC! Glad you can still be optimistic about Christmas when you have to deal with the hustle and bustle as you do. I'll have to check out cactus juice. Always up for something new.

You know, I don't really know what cactus juice is, but if it gets mixed with alcohol I'll give it a try. LOL
Great pics again dude!
I've never had cactus juice, but it's a pretty color of green. The only green drink I've had is Kool-Aid.
Nice pics!
I couldn't work with "people" again. Just no way. I'm totally groovin' on the $$ shot and the cactus juice. (Never saw that before).
yeah, a merry Christmas seems hard to come by!
Great pictures :)
I've heard of cactus juice but I thought it was a myth! LOL
Thanks for putting that one to rest for me!
Love the money shot! Does it grow on trees yet?
I've heard of this cactus juice...I must obtain some one day!
When I am President, I will create a law that first revoke guns permits during the holidays season for those working retail and compensate that with a 100% temporary raise. I worked retail once during the holidays and still have the mental scarring...LOL
Happy Hump Day!
Cactus Juice? Are you sure someone didn't put anti-freeze in that container?
As a manager of a retail business, I know how you feel. They act like it's my fault when I tell them I can't guarantee a product in time for Christmas. What? Like they're the only person in the United States who wants a freaking microscope? I ordered three yesterday, they are all backordered, and two of the three customers have already called me this morning to see if they're here. After ordering them yesterday afternoon.
Come on, people!
Cactus juice? Seriously?
Don't let the shoppers get to you. Just try to find some sort of zen place with in yourself. LOL. (I cracked myself up with that zen comment. That sounds nothing like me.)
I am a little freaked out by that cactus juice. Can I mix it with vodka?
first of all, i would so school you in poker.
secondly, there is a noble and worthy charity i think deserves your full support.
Jen: I didn't actually lick the money ;)
Cactus Juice... well, it's juice... made from... cactus ;) Really tasty - you should try it if you find some!
Fiwa: Holiday shoppers are complete idiots! Well, today wasn't the worst I've seen, actually. Only one started yelling at me ;)
Jay Cam: I believe that is something you and I and a whole bunch of people do have in common... gotta love that green ;)
Loving Annie: I wish people would shop more in advance... but I guess I can't really complain about that... I still haven't done my christmas shopping... when am I going to find the time to go to a store I don't work in?
Gawilli: Welcome! It's hard to stay positive... but once the family is all gathered, I'm sure I'll have a good time!
Jay: You can mix Cactus Juice with alcohol... but, then again... what can't you mix with alcohol?
Kell: You should really give cactus juice a try...
G-Man: Would you rather work with animals? People, during the holidays, really resemble [wild] animals more than anything though...
Joel: It's looking less and less merry by the day...
Leighann: See... I'm in the know ;)
The second money starts growing on trees, I'm changing profession... I'll be a gardener!
RockDog: Please don't revoke gun permits! Sometimes it's the only way to shut someone up ;)
Dana: Hehe... well, I drank it, and it tasted sweet ;)
Samantha K: Everything is back ordered as we close in on christmas... and the customers keep bawling and screaming that "I need it before christmas"!
"Well... you should have bought it in October then", is what I want to tell them.
Guilty Secret: Yeah... seriously ;)
Wow! I didn't expect the cactus juice to stir things up like this ;)
Karen: Kind of hard to find a zen place in a hen house... (at least it sounded funny in my head)
About the juice and vodka... se my repsonse to Jay.
Tequila Mockingbird: I would make a significant contribution to that charity, if I could join in ;)
hey madman: first time viewer,caught you through Auntie J.
like your blog. Is cactus juice spiked?
count this as a good reaction.
Ick! Cactus juice. Yuck!
Cactus juice? Is that like secret code or something?
Great pictures! Take your time, we'll be around!
Jinks: Welcome! And hope you'll enjoy your stay.
Cactus juice is not spiked in that shot (pun intended). I prefer it 100% pure and smooth.
Preposterous Ponderings: mmm... cactus juice... yummy ;)
Butterfly Girl: Secret code, eh? ;) Can you decipher it?
i've been hearing that sentiment from most of the male bloggers, and even a few female ones.
Tequila Mockingbird: So much for thinking I was original :(
I really like the poker table picture. The angle is cool. Very nice WWC interpretations!
Newt: Thanks... I tried to do something original with that shot... and I was too lazy to set it up properly ;)
