I was in Ross and ran across this table:
It was blah.
Then I stopped at Lowe's and bought some paint: Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish, Gold
Then I took the top off the base and spray painted it.
And then I put the top back on it.
And then I like it. :)
GO ME!
I seriously miss having projects and home improvement stuff going on.
A deed to a luxury beach home. A title to a brand new car. A cashier's check for one million dollars. We've all been hurt a multitude of times and most things too good to be true generally are but what if they are given in secret to right past wrongs? What if the worst of your life was evaluated and payment was made to soften all those blows? But payment from whom? For what ills? And what does accepting payment bring?
I was cleaning up my works in progress files and ran across something that made me excited again because I finally figured out something I was trying to figure out. LOL! See...you kinda get stumped when you're free flow writing something and don't have a plan. So yeah...figured out the reason for a very big why and, like I said, I'm pretty excited about it. GO ME!
Wattpad is the site that discovered some of the big fanfiction based hits like "50 Shades of Grey", etc. and they are having a writing contest that I think this story is a good fit for. I have until the end of August to finish it and I'm going to try and do it.
Please check it out over on Wattpad. If you use the app, it alerts you to whenever the stories you are following are updated by the authors. They have some really good writers and books too so poke around and discover some new stuff...FOR FREE!
If you don't mind voting for each chapter you read and following as well, that would be great. You can also comment over there and ask questions if something was confusing.
Thank you in advance! COMPOUND
I was in Target the other day doing what we all do in Target...roam around looking for ish to buy with that red sale dot that we don't need to buy but it's super cute and it's on sale and well...it's really, really cute and really, really cheap.
Yall know how Target sets us up for failure. Humph.
Well...I rounded a corner and saw this:
Patio umbrellas? Rugs? 50% off? I AM SO HERE FOR THAT!!!!! I snapped a quick pic and sent it to Robby and then to my sister because I knew she'd been looking for one. Then I sent it to a few girlfriends in the event they were too. I mean...I NEVER find umbrellas for 50% off. The most I ever see is 30% off. I AM HERE FOR A SALE! I'd been saying we needed to get one but then I was like...do I need to add to the stuff we have to move soon but again...for 50% off...NO.BRAINER.
So I made my decision wisely. Picked a nice neutral color, rustproof, etc. Basically...I got the most expensive one they had. Why? FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAWG! OH YEAH!
I'm damn near skipping to the register. The young lady scans it and I note the price didn't reflect FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAWG!!!!! OH YEAH! Me...the signs say 50% off. Her...um... So, I show her the picture. She makes her light flash. Manager comes over. Manager leaves. Manager comes back, hits a few buttons and makes the umbrella price FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAWG! OH YEAH!
Manager: It's supposed to only be the rugs but it's not your fault.
Me: *BLINK* So...it's NOT fifty percent off (no caps)?
Manager: *sigh* No. They were supposed to separate the rugs from the umbrellas and only put the signs on the rugs.
Me: Damn. Sorry. So...
Manager: Enjoy your umbrella.
And I drove my cart out slowly, hesitantly. Dragging my feet. Called Robby. Told him.
Him: FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAWG!
Me: (getting excited again) Yup!
Him: AWESOME!
So I came home, put up my new patio umbrella, made me a good lunch and sat outside to enjoy it under the lovely new shade created by my umbrella which was FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAWG!
And then the flies came.
It was hot as hell.
I dropped my damn big piece of chicken swatting away flies cuz know what else likes damn shade outside in the damn heat? YOU GUESSED IT! FLIES! DAMN FLIES!
I had to change clothes cuz it was really humid as hell outside and the big piece of chicken was barbeque and now I had a damn stain on my t-shirt AND my shorts where the damn chicken rolled down and then I had to go out and get a damn fly trap cuz seriously??????? I HATE FLIES! I HATE FLIES! DIE! JUST DIE!!!!!
So I picked a cute one. (THIS ONE) That could hang from my new umbrella. And then maybe I could enjoy the damn thing.
Now that I think about it...it just might be jinxed. You know...cuz it wasn't FIFTY PERCENT OFF DAWG!
*sigh*
go.me. (no caps)
Has this ever happened to you? Did you feel guilty?
