It is because you have been busy and you decided to leave the shopping till hubby gets back from a week away interstate. You decide to do it Monday morning before picking him up from the airport but it just happens to be a public holiday...everyone knows that except you!
So the only stores open at 9am on a public holiday, in my local shopping centre, is the bottle shop.
I was making my way back to the car when I spied through the glass door of the bottle shop some bags of bread rolls for sale. I thought at least I can get some bread because we are out of that too! So I went in to check them out. They cost $1.89 a bag. I didn't have any loose change, in fact my purse was empty!
The assistant was a big beefy guy who looked like he really didn't want to be at work today of all days. I guessed he wan't going to put a dollar something on my plastic card, so I wondered all purposeful like around the boxes piled high of alcohol, thinking what am I doing in here? I should put the bread down, hold my head high and find the door (alcohol gives me a headache anyway)
Just then the beefy assistant asked "Are you looking for anything?" I answered, "No thanks, I'm fine, just looking" (as you do, in a bottle-o before 9am on a Monday frigging morning!)
Anyway I started to relax and found something I thought I might enjoy drinking. I proceeded to confidently pull the pack from the fridge trying to ignore the price, swapped the bag of rolls for a french stick (same price) paid with my card and I was out of there. Pity he didn't sell salami and tasty cheese!
You have out done yourself! I'm in tears of laughter as I type this - dear oh dear! Never ever, ever change cause you're the sort who brightens up days! Quick, where's the tissue? F@ck you're funny!

PS - And yes, I did delete the other comment cause there was a typo in it!
Jeez Janet, that was funny !! There is so much of 'ME' in you. The way you think and 'do'. I just relate to the absent mindedness . . . thinking of what is of importance at the time and pushing mundane things like shopping, registering the truck and getting a haircut to the back to be done later only to find later that its to bloody late!!! We'll have to get our act together eh? Love You . . . . Dad xx
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying reading this Janet, it's hilarious! This was funny but the contact lenses episode was brilliant, I could relate to it all from my own brief, failed attempt with them. Did you succeed in the end?
