Ice Princess or Tales from the Nickle Club
CAN YOU BELIEVE IM POSTING???
Jim is home! Things are going well. We just came home from a couple weeks in Oregon visiting family. It was a welcomed break from reality thats for sure. And of course we had the customary day after vacation illness to hit each member individually. Oh yes We are having fun now!
Most of you know about the nickle club..the club in which your stupidty and dorkiness is honored and well paid. Yes you too can earn a nickle! Here is how i earned mine today.
Today at Walmart I earned my first nickle of the day. After all my well bagged purchase were rung up and placed in my cart..I started to walk out with out paying..of course no mistake like that is ever done with no one around..I had many witnesses..the long line behind me..my teenage son who could not control his snickering oh and the man at the other register who was listening to my very informative and lively conversation, who also enjoyed a hearty yo ho at my expense..if only this was the worst of my day.
One of the purchases I made today was a set of mini blinds. I was so excited to FINALLY see the size that I needed..and I THOUGHT there were 3 in stock..oh no instead of grabbing the one that said 58inches..I grabbed the ones beside it..they had to be the same size right? They were right next to each other..nope. I grabbed 59 inch mini blinds. Jim was saying "What in the world! I know I measured right". Of course I chimed in..hmm maybe the window isnt 58 inches all the way up. IT IS I grabbed 59 inch mini blinds. Ok this one isnt as funny but..wait till you hear what I did after I got home.
We were all sitting on the couch watching Ice Princess. After it was over, being silly I decided to follow Jim into the kitchen singing lalalala and spinning 3 twirls as if I was skating..to my horror Jim says JAMIE THE REPAIR MAN IS HERE. OH MY GOSH and there he was..in the kitchen repairing our cabinets..laughing. I ran upstairs in to my bathroom in horror and laughed so hard I cried! When I came down I was able to relieve this wonderful display of dorkiness as the repair man would steal glances up and laugh. I know he is going back to his shop and telling everyone!!!!! SIGH ....but at least I made 15 cents.
