WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS

Went to Joann’s the other day. I found some beautiful specialty paper by K & Company. It was on sale too, and I was excited to find such wonderful bargains on everything that I had wanted to purchase. Well, forty five minutes later I was on my way out of the store when this woman comes flying through the door from the other side with a full cup of coffee, no lid. (gee, can you only imagine what happened next?!) You guessed it. HOT! HOT! HOT! Right down the front of me (and in my bags, of course). The woman just looked at me and said great! So much for a cup of coffee. Why don't you watch where you are going?! I couldn't believe it! Here I am standing in the doorway with hot coffee all over me and all she was worried about was not having her coffee to drink. It was she who ran into me, not the other way around!
After that little altercation, I had wondered over to a nearby bench and I looked in my bag. My paper was ruined! I was really bummed out. I went back into Joann's (where they were nice enough to sympathize and ask if I was okay) and surprisingly, the manager had refunded my money. What I really wanted, was the paper! It was the last book on the shelf. The cashier starting flipping through the pages, but they were pretty much soaked with coffee. The good news is another nearby store (25 miles) had one book left and they saved it for me (yeah!) so I ran over and bought it (plus another design that the 1st store didn’t have). And yes, I bought another shirt before I went over! Couldn't do too much about the pants, although I did soak everything when I got home. I got my paper, that was the important thing! It really doesn't take too much to make me happy when it comes to my little goodies (smile). Anyhow, I was able to go upstairs into my studio and make a couple of real beauties.
