I called DD and told her I was on the way to the grocery store and asked her if she'd like to tag along. I knew that her fridge was probably bare, since she had just moved and and hadn't had time to shop. I told her that groceries would be my housewarming gift to her. So, I picked her up and we started our little shopping spree. Suddenly, all of the lights went off in the store. It was a little dark but we could still see. The problem wss that the registers all had to close down, because even the back-up power wasn't working! The grocery lines were out of control. I was just hoping that things would be back to normal by the time we were ready to check out. Fortunately, the power resumed and we only had about 5 customers in front of us by the time we got there. (there had been about 20 in each aisle before that!) THEN, I get up to the register, look in my purse and NO WALLET! Here I am, supposedly treating my DD to groceries and I couldn't even pay for them! She not only had to pay for her own,but she had to pay for mine, too!! Of course, the first thing I did was swing by my house on the way back and get my wallet (which I had left in my other purse, because we had gone out to dinner last night) and pay her back! At least we got a good laugh out of that, and I am SURE that she will tell her friends about MOM's little mistake! LOL

I think I'd better just stay home the rest of the day! What do you think?

I hope everyone else is having a good day.

Hugs, Shari
