How do you really feel?

Golden Retriever Look-a-Like Day was one of those days where everything seemed to be a challenge.

To put that into perspective it is like this scenario…. Imagine you have a carton of eggs, and than hard-boil some of the eggs in the carton.  Well in the midst of it all you forgot to clearly make a smily face on each hard-boiled egg to distinguish which eggs are boiled and which were not.  The next morning you are in a rush and grab an egg as you rush to your scooter.  All of sudden you get this crazy sensation to crunch the egg in one hand like the incredible hulk.  But wait there is a surprise... instead of a delectable hard-boiled egg, you a palming yolk!  OH NO - LEGGO MY EGGO!  Now you have a choice to 1.) casually pretend like you want to pet the grass or 2.) throw a ridiculous tantrum and start egging others. (I learned the other day that 'egging' means picking a fight.  Ghetto, yes.  Clever, yet to be determined.)

Now you know how my day was going.  Everything seemed to be exploding in my hands.  So when I went to the grocery store I didn't have high expectations.  

As I reached the frozen food section I had my eye on the goal "$.69 frozen dinners."  Advertisments!  Sale!  Bullseye!  I was on a mission for Frozen Nasty.  However, I had walked twice done the isle I realized that I couldn't locate the $.69 Frozen Nasties; instead, I saw the Frozen Nasties marked as 10 for $10.  Lame.

So I headed to the check out line, and once I reached the register the cashier asked the common question - "did you find everything okay?"  Most normal people say, "yes."  Not me...Not today.  I decided to confide my dismay about the mis-marked or mis-advertised Frozen Nasties.  And to support my claim I had my advertisement!  I opened the page and said,"actually I couldn't find these frozen dinners. I saw them marked as 10 for $10,  was it a misprint in the ad?"

Guess what the cashier's reaction was?  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!  He completely ignored me after he had asked me a question!  No eye contact, no acknowledgement, nothing.  I was speechless and with a gaping mouth I looked at the sacker with begging eyes.  However, I got a super awkward moment.  The sacker knew something because he stood looking at me with his mouth half open and his eyes looking back and forth between the cashier and me!  He knew the location of the Frozen Nasties!

 I decided to ask again.  And again, the sacker's eyes darted back and forth and the cashier just kept checking out my items and finally spoke…"$42.78 is your total."

So there I stood with two choices 1.) pay and casually walk off or 2.)  start throwing eggs.  I actually debated this decision because I was stunned and wanted my Frozen Nasties.  I swiped my debit card.  I guess sometimes you just need to know when to pick your fights and when to let a Frozen Nasty dream die.
