23/06/2009 All in allIt’s around midnight Monday,, so I must be awake. Good thing that tomorrow I stay home. This insomnia is killing me. Yes, I know; it really can. It’s a vicious cycle.
Yesterday could have been a real bummer.
I got to my daughter’s house early…around 7:30 AM. When she went to leave, she put Annah’s car seat in my pickup.
She shouted, “Good bye! I left the keys in the seat!”
Then I realized that my cell phone needed recharging.
So I took the phone to the pickup to plug it in and sure enough, the keys are sitting on the seat. Inside the locked pickup. A LOCKED pickup truck.
Good thing I had an extra set in my purse.
(Extra set of keys, you say? I’m just anal that way. Good hint…I tied a brightly colored bandana to my key ring so that I could easily find them inside my purse.) Around 11:00 AM, I took The Princess and Annah to lunch. It’s a local place…it’s called “The Firehouse“. It’s a Fireman/Policeman/Biker/Old Person café type of place. It’s a hole in the wall in a strip mall. They have a blue plate special. It’s very nearly in the tenement stage, but it’s got good food. They have daily specials and the blue plate special costs $6.79. For that you get rolls, a meat entrée and two sides. A piece of pie is $2.50. I had a chicken fried steak With mashed potatoes and spinach. I love Tabasco pepper juice on my veggies. Yummo!
Annah got a hold on my spinach bowl and helped herself to a handful. I think she liked it, she didn’t want to give it up.
When we got back in the pick-up to go home, (amid all the comedy and drama) I wound up leaving the ‘diaper’ bag ( a very nice designer bag) sitting in the parking lot.
Am I old or what?
It wasn’t until about 12 minutes later that I realized it.
I'm really old, I guess.
That’s when The Princess learned a new word.
Thank you, Mammie!
So we go back and we canvas the strip mall (in the 104 degree weather) going store to store and finally find out that a “lady in a pink leopard shirt” has the bag and is looking for the owner.
Oh, excuse me, I mean “Loser”.
It’s then that I realize….my wallet is in that bag.
(!!)
My whole financial situation is now in jeopardy. I went and got some water for me and an Icee for Grace Then we went back to my daughter’s house to feed and change diapers for Annah, and then we drove to my house to check my phone messages.
Just in case the pink leopard lady called me. It was a good 45 minute trip.
I really did have to go home. My phone company’s system is moronic. It’s just all screwed up. I can only check my messages from my home phone. How screwed up is that? If I was at home, I would have answered!!
Well, maybe.
My phone company doesn’t know that one of the major selling points of having voicemail is to be able to check it from afar! Anyway, I had to go through a total of 24 new messages and of course, that kind, polite lady was the last one ,
If you ever want to talk to me, just call my cell, OK?
Finally, finally, finally! I found the lady who found the bag. She left a message. YAY! Life is back to normal!
All in all, it took me about 3 ½ hours to track it down.
Lordy, it’s hot here. And it’s only the middle of June.
I’ve only got a couple of months of the Disney channel left. I have (again) visited my old friends, iCarly, The Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, Zack and Cody, Alex, Justin and Max from “The Wizards of Waverley Place“….and anyone else you might want . Some of them are old friends and some I’ve just met.
Just kill me, please.
(Although, I do love the mom’s hair on “Zack and Cody…The Suite Life”) .
I have to get a new bathing suit. My home is a black hole. Things and clothing disappear. However, since it is no longer bathing suit season, I can‘t find one.. Guess I’m looking at a T-shirt and shorts.
My cell phone is broke. Bad cell phone! I had to cash in on the insurance on it.
Hubby has some major dental problems. He broke a tooth off a couple of months ago and it looks like it will cost a several thousand. Try working that in the budget! We’re going for a second opinion. And yes, we do have dental insurance. It only pays $1500.00 a year.
For an update…my sister, Chelle is doing well. She has a few immune deficits, but all in all, she’s doing good. She’s been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis.
Hubby’s on a fiddle buying streak. We’re up to 4 now. He’s looking for one for The Princess.
We spend most of our time in the Living Room. He practices there.
Some time he amazes me and some times I want to hurl myself against the wall. Some songs I like and some drive me nuts. This has been happening since 1982. He’s going to fiddle camp next month, so I’m hopeful some new stuff will find it’s way into his repertoire.
Would you rather have several million dollars than the love of a good person?
Or “20, 000,000 versus having your legs”
I’ll leave it on that note. Xoxo Dana+ Comments (4)
