Oh No I Didn't!

Oh yes I did. A really stupid thing yesterday. I went to Wal-Mart to get a few baking supplies, walked my cart to the very end of the row where I was parked. Then I drove to another store looking for my latest food obsession...green globe grapes. Wal-Mart hasn't had them the last two times I've been there. I pull into the parking space, get out of my car and turned to grab my purse. Purse? Where's my purse? Nowhere in the car. Oh, I must've thrown it into the truck before I closed it. Ummm, no, not in the trunk. Panic starts to set in. What did I do?? Did I leave it in the cart? Did someone steal it? How stupid!! I race, and I mean race, back to Wal-Mart, praying to Jesus the whole way. I careen into the parking lot looking for the end of the row where I was parked. Now I almost always return my cart to the cart corral. This time I didn't and left it at the end of the row between cars. I found my row and see two guys collecting carts. I stop the car, roll down the window and frantically ask them if they found a purse in a cart. They did!! One of the guys grabbed it and gave it to me. I PROFUSELY voiced my gratitude and appreciation. Nothing was missing! When I got home I immediately called the store and spoke to a manager, relaying what happened and how grateful I was. She thanked me and said it's nice to hear positive comments from a customer for a change. Based on my experience, I could relate to that. It's much easier to complain about something than it is to share something positive.

The relief I felt was palpable. In my purse are my house keys, spare car key, cash, license, a couple of credit cards and a gift certificate. Someone could've stolen my identity (who would want MY identity, lol?), stroll into my house, steal my car, clean out the house, and God forbid, take my dogs and cat (I know what you're thinking: Who would want my pets?). I clearly averted a disaster and THANK GOD it didn't happen. Where is my brain? People, I tell you, it's shot!!

Anyway, everyone at the Malley household is sick, so I'm keeping away. I'm going to bake this afternoon! I'm doing laundry now and I'll start writing Christmas cards, hopefully. I haven't done that in years!

I've noticed that my eyebrows and eyelashes are really thinning. Big time. The hair on my head is really growing and I've been using the Bain de Terre stuff for thinning hair ever since I noticed it starting to grow again. So I guess there's some sort of trade off going on. I met someone who lost her eyebrows and eyelashes AFTER she completed chemotherapy. Maybe since my last infusion is next week that won't happen, but time will tell!

Steelers play tonight and it will be interesting to see if I can stay awake and also to see if they begin playing like contenders again instead of pretenders! Rah, rah.
