A Post

My mom had given me some clothes for my birthday, but they didn’t fit. She scanned the receipt and emailed it to me since we live 900 miles apart. I went to the store with printed receipt in hand. Turns out, the receipt was just longer than a piece of paper, so it cut off the transaction date, which is apparently the only thing they actually need on the receipt to accept a return. She asked it I wanted to come back later in the day after she could talk to her supervisor about the receipt. I said not really. She offered that we do a non-receipt transaction, but it would end up giving me $3.74 less on the gift card than if I had a receipt. I took the non-receipt return . . . it woulda cost me that much money in gas to go and come back later!

I grabbed lunch at the mall while I was there and brought it back to work with me. Terriyaki chicken and veggies. Yummy! I also got a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper, which happens to be the worst pop at spraying out the top when you open it. I’m sitting at my desk, I open my food container, and I open the pop bottle. As expected, PHHWWEETTTT! I’ve already received a new keyboard this year after I spilled a coke on it, so I took the hit and put the entire top of the bottle in my mouth . . . there was so much spray that it came out and dripped on my chicken. Terriyaki Diet Dr. Pepper flavored chicken - yummy!

The light above my desk is making noise again. It sounds like there’s a moth in there, desperately trying to get out, but it can’t - yet after 15 minutes, it just won’t die either. That’s very helpful when you’re trying to concentrate!

OK - I realize I’m not concentrating . . . I’m blogging and eating my lunch . . . but if I WERE trying to concentrate, it would be very difficult!

I’m wearing my cleavage shirt today. I did not take the stairs. Too friggin’ lazy today! Nobody got in the elevator with me.

I’ve been doing wall sits while I brush my teeth. I have one of those fancy schmansy toothbrushes that pauses every 30 seconds so you know when to move the next quadrant of your mouth to keep your teeth shiny and clean. So I brush for 30 seconds, sit on the wall for 30 seconds, brush for 30 seconds, and sit on the wall for 30 seconds. Hey, it’s a minute of exercise that I wouldn’t get in otherwise! Besides, opening day is November 7th! Gotta try to get the legs a little ready for snowboarding!

I get to pack suitcases for me and the kids again tonight. Yes, we’re travelling fools! Another road trip, but this one isn’t all the way to Minnesota. I get to unpack suitcases on Sunday night when we get back. Then I get to do laundry and pack again on Tuesday, because we’re hittin’ the airport next Wednesday again. What really sucks? Since they charge $15-25 per checked bag now, I have to pay to take Dude and Princess’ booster seats with! And the charge one way is almost more than we payed for them! So, Dude will NOT have a booster seat on vacation. Princess will get just the bottom part of hers and it WILL fit into the bag with their clothes . . . it WILL it WILL it WILL! No way I’m payin’ $50 to bring a tiny booster seat on a plane. Guess I could take it as a carryon . . . hmmmmmm, guess that’ll be my backup plan if it doesn’t fit in their suitcase.

I know that was all terribly exciting! You may not return to your regularly scheduled programming.
