A Funny Thing happened....

A funny thing happened to me last week.  I was on my way to church last Sunday morning and I had to stop at the store to pick up some nursery supplies.  My husband drove and chose to wait out in the car with the baby.  It took me a few minutes to locate what I needed.  I am not familiar with this particular store.  I paid the cashier and with my mind on other things I headed back out to the car.

Some of you will relate to what happened next.  You know those moments of split second registration?  Those moments when you realize that you have made a big mistake?

I opened the car door and with my bags in the air ready to put in the floorboard, I registered that this was not my seat and that was not my catfood, and more importantly the man smoking the cigarette behind the wheel was not my husband!!!!  He was looking at me rather funny.......I was looking at him rather surprised,   and just as quickly as I had opened the door, I said "OH, I'm so sorry" and I shut the door.  

I was laughing so hard by the time I crossed the parking lot and got into the IDENTICAL car that really was mine, I was unable to tell my husband what had happened.  I heard the stranger man laughing and he waved as he drove off.  I waved back.  We are bonded now you know!  I'm sure he had a good story to tell to folks the rest of the day!!

I quit laughing and crying long enough to explain why that stranger man was laughing and waving at us.  Husband and I, we laughed all the way to church and my mascara was completely gone by the time we arrived.   

 So many times this week I have thought about the looks on our faces as we realized  what was happening.  It has brought me many a merry moment!   I hope we both learned something from the whole experience........ he might lock his car door next time, and I might pay more attention to the direction in which I am parked!!  Note to self.......

I just thought I would share.  I hope this brought you a bit of laughter in your day.......even if it is at my expense!!  

Just for Fun Friday

I just wanted to share a blog that some of you out there might like to look into.  My friend Jason and his precious wife Terri are very experienced at adoption and now.....deployments!  Two huge subjects!

Please remember them all in prayer when you can,  as Jason has deployed (again)!!

I recently learned that Terri is a talented seamstress!!   If any of you should have a notion to see some of her goods, you can visit their blog and scroll down to see some of the bags and such that she creates.   Have fun!  Oh, and she did give me permission to blog and link....

You just gotta go....

Well, I had to go to Wal-Mart today.  I really hate WM.  Maybe hate is  not the right word.  Maybe despise, or dislike?  Maybe it depends on the day you ask me. I do not judge other people who do like to shop there  and  I won't go into all the reasons why I do not like the place.........but I do try to avoid the place whenever humanly possible.  My previous boycotts included about a 3 year span with only one visit.....and that was only because our visitors from out of town really needed to go.   Today it was my husband who needed to go.  He was looking for something that he only found online at WM.  Whenever I go to the WM, I see STUFF.  Stuff I do not need paid for by money I don't have, and  Made by people who don't care.    So.....I just don't go.  It's a personal problem......I know.

I agreed to go today however,  And in a good natured fashion I might add.   Hubby even threw in a "Hey, can we go eat at the Whataburger?"  It was an outing!!  Together!!  No way was I passing up this opportunity for quality time!!   So I tried to take off my negativities for a while and we took the baby and enjoyed ourselves.  It was his first trip into a WM.  I enjoyed watching his reactions to "all that glitters".....he's 10 months old.  AND my bacon cheeseburger was really good!!

Still don't care much for the place,  but I guess my point to this   blog is ......sometimes,  you just gotta go to Wal-Mart.     And sometimes ........my husband just has to go to the mall, or the shoe store.........(insert really big grin here).
