I had an experience this morning that finally motivated me to make a blog post. It's been too long, I know. Although, the whole 4 of you that follow me probably didn't even notice my absence! [Maybe I need to spice up my posts a bit to raise my level of interest.]
Anyway ...
I went to make an AWESOME [every coffee lover needs one] Keurig cup of coffee this morning & I forgot that Taelyn had the last of the milk last night. I should probably call myself a milked down, sugared up coffee lover because I can not stand my coffee black. I then go to my back up of Starbucks frappuccino but I guess I had the last of those as well. I then did the UNTHINKABLE & my need for caffeine over rid my 'Never leave the house in your PJ's in order to not blend in with some of the folks we share this town with Rule'.
Mistake.
Anyway ...
Taelyn, Pudro & I load up sporting our PJ's & I drive by the local Allsup's. There were about 5 vehicles there & [if you know me] you know there is no way I will get out of my car & be seen without make up or proper clothing.
Besides all of that, I do not like to tote Taelyn inside a convenience store. It just seems wrong.
We drove completely around town [the whole 2 miles of it] 3 times in order to be able to make a mad dash into Allsup's without being seen. The parking lot was finally free so in we went! I picked up my favorite Starbucks double shot coffee drink & checked out. PHEW .. we made it!
WRONG!!
I go back to open Taelyn's door to the Tahoe & ... wait for it ...
IT'S LOCKED!!!!!
My adorable Pekingese, Pudro hopped his tiny little legs up onto the door while we were inside & locked the car.
Just perfect. So the attendant hands me their telephone to call the police to get them to come save the day. 45 minutes later & countless embarrassing conversations explaining that "Yes, my car is indeed locked" & "Yes, help is on the way" Fritch animal control shows up. Which makes me wonder if Fritch even has any police officers. Who knows. I guess they were all off duty.
The animal control man then warns me that his blow up device to push the door to my Tahoe open enough to get a stick in there to unlock it will most likely bend my door. Reluctantly, I agree to let him to do. I mean Taelyn & I are out here in 100 degree weather. She's wearing footie pajama's and I'm wearing VS long thick pants (it's cold in our house because my hubby is an Eskimo). So the car is finally unlocked & we get in to head home. As I'm buckling Taelyn in she looks at Pudro and yells, " NO NO PUPPY!" lol I LOOOOOVE THIS KID. :) So I smiled & got over the situation.
I did, although, learn my lesson to never break my 'Don't be a Skank' rule & will heavily stock up on all things coffee on my next grocery trip.
LOL sorry but I love it. You seem to have the same kind of luck I have. I am with you on the pj's stay at home. However, if I didn't have my white chocolate mocha EVERY morning I too would be at the store sporting my pjs. Hope your door isn't too banged up and that you are having a nice afternoon. ;)
