My Kick Ass Day
Yesterday was the day I had a lot of bad crap happen and it didn't really put me in a bad mood. Although it certainly could have, I continued to make the most of my day (ok, I did give it up when we were losing badly at kickball last night).
First, I totally forgot to attend Bougie's happy hour. I had initially thought I could go, then found out a friend was in the hospital and was going to forego drinks for awesome hospital atmosphere, but the friend was released and really I could have gone.
Instead I ran to the grocery store (refer to yesterday's whiny email about lack of groceries and time to purchase groceries). I made a list, went through the coupons and made sure I had the grocery bags. This is a sign of a girl who has totally got it together. Or so I thought. They are refurbishing the grocery store I go to. First I couldn't find shallots and so bought a yellow onion, then I couldn't find a specific cheese I wanted so bought fresh mozzerella instead (my basil and one tomato plant are coming along nicely and I need to pair those items with fresh mozzerella), Then I couldn't reach the half and half. There were only two containers left and even jumping I couldn't reach them. I'm tall people! I mean, not a circus freak giant, but tall. And I couldn't reach them! I looked at them longingly and walked away. Finally I forgot to buy Salsa Lisa. Salsa is part of at least one meal everyday and I have had none for three days. I buy the large Salsa Lisa and it maybe lasts a month. And I forgot it. Christmas is ruined for sure.
Then I forgot to go take care of Susan's cat. She asked me to go everyday when I got back and yet I did not remember to go Monday nor last night. I did go Tuesday to water the plants and play with the kitty and give her the favored food. I know cats are pretty independant, but I like their cat. I'm certain there is a special place in hell reserved just for me.
Kickball was another mess. I was the interim captain while Susan and Aaron are out of town and while I did send out the email and solicite people for the July 9th game, I was certain the game would be rained out so did not bring water with me to the field. Lots of other people must have assumed it would also be rained out because they didn't show up. Thankfully a guy who had just finished playing softball offered to play with us. And he was good. We still totally lost. We played pretty poorly and I even started to get crabby about it. We played comically bad. I blame the windy evening and George Bush. By the time the game was finally over I was parched and went straight to the bar where I gulped a beer, water and shoved appetizers in my face until 11:30.
Obviously I was tired because I overslept this morning. Then I trimmed my bangs too short. Then I had to wait for awhile to get my allergy shot and I couldn't find parking except far away. Then driving in I thought I had a 9am meeting and it was 8:48 in the morning. Awesome.
The day is looking up though. I used the remainder of my Caribou Gift Certificate for coffee this morning. The meeting at 9 was rescheduled and now I have time to blog. I think the rest of the day will be ok.

Sweet. I just re-read this post and it turns out I also have difficulty spelling words. Normally I would just edit the post, but in deference to the already crappy day I was writing about I decided to let the INTERNET know that I am a full blown idiot. You're welcome.
Thank You
The INTERNET
