I'm getting my days messed up again. It feels like Sunday. It's really Friday. And in the mini summer vacation thing I should be on weeks 4-6.
Time. It has no meaning in cheleVille.
We had good food but surprisingly bad service at Brasa last night. I'm still chalking this up to working out the kinks of opening a new location. Those cheese grits make up for a lot of badness, lemme tell you.
I'm going to play in the dirt on the deck today.. since it's July, I should probably put SOME plants out there. I bought some basil, mint and rosemary at the farmer's market. Oh! and I forgot that I had this story:
I went to Home Depot to get some clean dirt (I love saying that just because it makes ragazz' laugh) AKA potting soil. I bought said dirt, and then I saw those little "as seen on TV"
water globes which I think will be a good thing - my plants get so thirsty out on that south and west facing deck. The globes were $9.99. Then I saw the most lovely bowl of pink petunias. And really - who can resist pink petunias. The sign above them said $14.99, and I realized that the tag on the bowl said $21.99.. but I didn't care because, well, pink petunias.
I got up to the cash register and the crankiest old man in history was there.. wearing PINK pants, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the story. Except, well, pink pants. He was griping and complaining about everything and had the two cashiers completely frazzled.. and his poor wife was just watching it all go on. I felt sorry for her. I can't imagine being with someone like that for 30-40-50 years. (aside: thank you, sweetie, for not being a tool.).
Finally one of the cashiers broke free, but I could tell he was still all mental-fied from this jerky old man. He scanned my dirt, my water globes.. but he couldn't get the petunias to scan. He tried about 20 times. The poor guy. I said "Hey - it's no big deal. Don't worry about it." He said "I'm just gonna charge you the price of the water globes for the plant." I said "But that's only $9.99, and the plant is twenty-two bucks!" He scanned the globes again and said "You get the nice customer discount." So YAY. Half price pink petunias.
And thanks, Grumpy Old Pink Pants Man. Because of you I got a deal.
Off to plant! Have a great day. Ciao.
