Tales of a True Procrastinator & The Power of a Dollar

I had a lot to do on my lunch break today. (Did I mention I am a procrastinator?) My first stop was the post office; I had to mail my friend his Christmas gift. Yes I am way late, but he should expect that by now. Then I had to go get my nails done, now I am not the type of girl who is superficial but I love having someone do my nails that are more skilled at it than I am. Last time I trimmed and painted my nails it was a disaster. Then, while at the mall I sort of got side tracked at the perfume counter. (I MUST HAVE IT….Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier – but it will have to wait till next payday, damn why do I have to be so responsible.) Then I had to stop at the grocery store to get some dog food. I filled up Sable’s dish with the last bit of it this morning.

I hate grocery shopping.

My first pet peeve is the q-tips (this is siren speak for old ladies with the white q-tip poufy hair, there is a lot in FL) they have all day to grocery shop, stick their carts in the middle of the isle, walk so slow, or want you to find something for them. My second is the teenage mom with the cart o’ toddlers with the glittery tank top that says “Your Boyfriend Thinks I’m Hot” picking through the dented cans and expired items while the kids are screaming in the cart. Lastly you have the stockers who always have mountains of boxes right in front of what you need to get.

I am in a hurry so I am pleasantly surprised to see the store is close to empty. I grab the dog food and head to the counter. I look at the check out lines and the self ones are full with old ladies… to slow. I scan the others and pick the one with only one blonde lady with a few items. Everything was going smoothly when her last item rang up for $5.99 instead of $4.99. She proceeds to argue on the price and the cashier has to call over another cashier. It was $5.99 but the lady continued to argue. The arguing went on and on I was getting pissed…I dig in my purse and said HERE TAKE IT… here is a damn dollar! JUST TAKE IT!!!

Finally she takes the dollar and gets the hell out of my way, I go to pay for my dog food, pull the cash out of my purse to pay and wouldn’t you know I am a dollar short. I get out my debit card and swipe it muttering all the way to the car. I go home let Sable out and then rush back to work…10 minutes late. I should just give up and do what normal people do on their lunch….eat!

Well while you are on your lunch go vote for that Diesel from Mattress Police he is in the running for Humor Blog of the year.
