Big When You Want Small

After vacuuming the house I needed a shower and while blow drying my hair I didn't like the sound of the blow drier...thought I had better hurry before it died, thought I better also pick up a blow drier when I went out, and just as I finished the front of my hair there was a "pop" and it stopped with a tiny puff of smoke that smelled like burnt hair. So I went out to shop with the back of my hair damp, greatfull it was not a weekday morning. I would not go to work with the back of my hair unfinished.

It was crazy everywhere I went; does the whole world begin Christmas shopping on December 1? I stood in a long line-up for the cash at Wal-Mart, where I found a hair drier small enough to fit in the bathroom drawer. I have to buy everything small, to economize on space, and most of them were huge...just like toasters these days. I need a new toaster. Mine went up in a puff of smoke, just like the hair drier, a week ago. I am looking for a new one but they are all so big and ugly...why are they making them look like trucks for cryin-out-loud? I just need a slim 4 slice light toaster, not a tanker truck.

I searched Wal-Mart (there never is a sales person when you want one) and found a timer for the lights on my polar bear and that was small, but I didn't care...I would have bought a clunker.
