i always pick the wrong line

sunday i was able to sleep late (til 10!) yay! that was so good esp. since i didn’t get to bed til 1am. i tried to go see melissa (my sick friend) but her husband said she was running a fever and knocked out on meds. i’ll try later. i ran a bunch of errands in the afternoon. i bought a baby gate at target to keep nelson out of the kittie’s room where the litter boxes are. seems to be working, yay! on my dentists’ recommendation i also picked up a power puff girls electric toothbrush . well, my dentist just suggested i get an electric toothbrush, i’m sure he doesn’t care that it’s power puff. it’s a lot of fun though! i also found a couple of hand painted nite-lites on clearance. perfect stocking stuffers. you can never start too early! then i made my monthly hallmark stop to stock up on this month’s birthday cards plus my sister’s wedding card. they had the coconut bay yankee candle. bonus! here’s where the drama starts. i headed over to old navy to get husband this year’s 4th of july tee. i picked up some new shades, and a pair of pj bottoms for husband,a cool mesh tote bag, and a pair of blue flip flops for me. so i get in line to check out. word to the wise: if you see me at a store in line, run. i never, ever pick the right line. sure enough, the lady in front of me pulls out this wrinkled dress from a food lion bag with no tag, no receipt and tries to exchange it for something completely different. the dress didn’t even look new. all the other lines are long now and i’m desperately looking for somewhere else to go. she’s fighting with the cashier (who was very polite about the whole thing). it dragged on and on, a manager came up and argued with her too and she left empty handed after changing her story a million times. luckily this nice man saw that i was in line a long time and let me go in front of him. everyone was looking at her like “come on lady”. i even wanted to give her some tips for successful retail returns but she didn’t deserve it with her loud attitude.
