I needed something to smile about this evening, and I suspect that some of you do as well, so I pulled out some of my old Daytimers where I used to write my bloopers and other funny things.
Here's one on me:
One time I was walking up to the door of my favorite discount store, Savemart, at the same time as two elderly ladies. Feeling kind and gregarious, I held the door for them and gave them my warmest smile. Once inside, I got myself a shopping cart, got out my Daytimer in which I had my shopping list, and entered the first aisle. After checking out various shampoos and conditioners, I picked up five bottles, turned around, and loaded them into my cart. One of the elderly ladies was standing there, watching, almost staring at me. I gave her a big, friendly smile again, thinking to myself, "I guess she never before saw anyone get five bottles of shampoo at once."
I continued on my way through the store, and eventually noticed that I no longer had my Daytimer. I panicked, and went back through the store to the various places I had been looking at things, but no Daytimer. So I went to the service desk to ask if anyone had turned it in. No luck. Finally I decided to go all the way back to the very first aisle and look everywhere again. Lo and behold, there in that shampoo aisle sat a shopping cart all by itself, with nothing in it but my Daytimer!
With great humiliation I began to realize why that elderly lady had stood there watching me. I had loaded my five bottles of shampoo into her cart, gave her a great big smile, and took off with it.
I'm really tired of talking about this trial, but I do have to correct what I wrote last evening. He has received the guilty verdict, but the life vs death sentence has not yet been decided. Testimony continued today, and will continue. How long, I do not know.
And to leave this post on a lighter note - yesterday at lunch we were having a discussion about having tonsils removed. I just noticed that back in 1991 when we had a sweet little girl named Krista, she came home from kindergarten and announced that a boy in her class had his nozzles taken out. Ha, ha, ha, ha!
(Note to Renee: make sure they take your tonsils, not your nozzles!!)

I'm already missing my thyroid and my gallbladder, so they might as well take my nozzles, too! Do they make a "replacemen med" for nozzles?!?!

Great, a typo. Very hard on the pride of an English major. :)

Your stories are so funny and now Renee! I am laughing out loud. This is a good frame of mind in which to drive off to the hospital this morning.
hahaha! You really should write a book. Always enjoy your stories the good and the sad.
I have been aware of the trial on the news, because of your entries. Your other comments made me laugh.
I think you will be receiving an invitation from Mary Ann - about a banquet at Shady Maple on Friday evening. We are going, and can pick you up if you want to go. Call me at 717-665-6347.

Just stopping by quickly to say Hi. We're having so much fun here in California.
Your story gave me a chuckle, but the smile left quickly when I read about Destiny's uncle...so sad.
Hugs!
