And for all those politically correct poobahs out there….the post you are about to read involves my stupidity only.\u00a0 I figure it’s acceptable to call myself stupid, or at the very least bone-headed.<\/p>\n
I went to a family picnic that was a 2 1\/2 hour drive away (one way).\u00a0 I didn’t get lost finding the place which is a minor miracle as I am seriously directionally challenged.\u00a0 With a little help (read: nagging LOL) from an online friend, I didn’t even forget anything that I had planned on taking with me.<\/p>\n
I had a great time.\u00a0 There was lots of good food and lots of good conversation.\u00a0 I hadn’t seen several of these people since the picnic in 2007, and the others I either hadn’t seen since the 2008 picnic or I had never met them at all.<\/p>\n
I left for Bend about 4:00 pm and I was 15 minutes away from home when I realized\u00a0 that my purse had enjoyed the picnic even more than I did.\u00a0 It enjoyed the picnic so much that it stayed behind when I left.<\/p>\n
I called my cousins’ cell phone from the truck.\u00a0 I got an answering machines recording that says if you want to leave a message call another number.\u00a0 Who has a pen to write down the other number?\u00a0 Not me, all of my pens are in the purse.<\/p>\n
So I say the heck with it, I will call them again when I get home, and since I have the worlds largest supply of writing instruments I can easily write the other number down then.<\/p>\n
I called again as soon as I got in the door and reached a real live person this time.\u00a0 He located my purse on the deck, big as life and twice as nasty; he agreed to drop it in the mail on Monday.<\/p>\n
To add even more idiocy to the story: I spelled my last name out for him.\u00a0 What’s idiotic about that?? I did mention didn’t I that this was a FAMILY picnic….. of course he already knew how to spell my last name.<\/p>\n
Oh well, the lack of debit card and drivers’ license will give me even more time to clean house.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n
1) I shouldn’t drive without my drivers license<\/p>\n
2) without my debit card I can’t pay for my fast food addiction!<\/p>\n
Am I going to let my purse out of my sight ever again?…….I DON’T THINK SO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
