It Just Kept Getting Worse

I had one of those days today that at the end of work, I just wanted to get home. I decided I had two short stops to make and I could be on my way. The 1st stop was to get gas. None of my cards would read on the pump. After several attempts, I decided to move the car and try another pump. Low and behold, the 2nd pump worked! So, I'm finally on my way to Walmart. All I needed were razor blades and facial tissues. I could handle that and then get on home where I was sure my day would improve. I got the razor blades O.K. but when it came to the tissues, I had an issue. I had a bystander that was paying close attention to my actions at this point in time. I noticed that the tissues that I wanted were sold out except for a couple of boxes way in the back on the bottom shelf. The only way I was going to get to them was to crawl back in there. "For Pete's sake!", I said. "The only way I'm going to get those is if I crawl in there!". My observer said, "Mam, you gotta do what you gotta do". The he laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with him because I really did feel like crying by then.....
Well, I end up with the tissues and thought I would make my escape from Wally World. Not so fast sister! I ran into a customer from work. He chit chatted with me for a minute, then told me as I was ready to scurry off..."Do me a favor, would you?" (I'm thinking it must have to do with work so I said, "sure". He says "If what you've got going on doesn't work out, could you give me a call?" (He is not speaking of employment, but my personal life.) LOL..at this point, I surrender my attempt at a better day. This is the point I just start looking forward to bedtime so I can start over the next day. It's got to get better.

The Roaring 20's

The "Advantage50" event for the bank is over for another year. It is a reception for a club consisting of bank customers that meet a certain criteria. They travel to different places during the year and attend different events that have been planned for them. The reception is one of those events. The theme was the "Roaring 20's". Lots of us were dressed for the occasion. I can't believe people used to dress like that. I also cannot believe how long it took to get all that "getup" on today. People really did take a lot of time to get ready to go somewhere didn't they? The hairstyles back then were also a hoot. Of course, some of the ones of my life have been as well. LOL I'm sure my children will testify to that. I can't help but wonder what next year's theme will be. Stay tuned.
