Lesson Learned

Ok so I'm new to the whole blogging world. I told myself I'd never do this but here I am. I must admit from time to time I blog on my myspace but who really reads those things. For entertainment purposes and a relief of stress it may be healthy for me to let my thoughts out. I never thought I'd be the one to air my business on a worldwide forum but hey it happens. I don't know where to start so I guess I'll start with today, as I rushed to get ready this morning (being as it was the Monday following a LONG holiday weekend) my time schedule is out of whack, it's time to get back into the swing of things it dawns on me what an idiot I was yesterday. Let me share my story with you. I'm not usually the type of person to purchase something then take it home and realize I don't want it anymore. I normally ponder that decision before make the purchase, however I guess you could say this weekend I made an impulse buy, it was only a purse but still if you know me you know I need another purse like I need another pair of shoes. It was really cute so I had to have it or so I thought. I took it home only to find what I already knew it was too small to hold the plethora of things I carry. After trying to cram everything I own in it, it was inevitable it just wouldn't work. So I took my things out reinserted the trash bag worth of paper, (that made me think the purse was much larger than it was) and returned it to the store . So today as I'm getting ready for work I realize not only did I return the purse but I also returned everything I had put in the inside pocket. At this time I frantically panic, the contents of that pocket were extremely important lets just say. So I rush to the store crossing my fingers and hoping that the purse will still be there. It was a cute purse the only one left I might add and I knew it was a shot in the dark to believe that my belongings would still be in it. As I race through the door of the store at 8:45 am knowing I have to be at work in 15 minutes and praying still that I'll find what I came for I have to decide do I go to customer service and waste my time explaining or do I just go check and see if the purse is back on the shelf, I pick the shelf as I make my way I see it, could it really be the one I returned, I open it to find all of my things just where I left them. I learned to valuable lessons today never put everything in a purse you're unsure of and Target doesn't check it's returns before they restock the shelves. Either way I'm thankful I found what I was looking for, and more grateful that I wasn't accused of stealing my own belongings back.

Very funny story. I enjoyed it! I probably would have taken it to customer service and explained cause knowin my luck the rent-a-cop would have accused me of stealing my own junk.
