One of the things I have become very good at is never completely finishing anything I do. I guess I must look at it as "insurance" as in that I am "needed" to finish whatever it may be!
Anyhoo I had not completely finished decorating the christmas tree..........my excuse was I couldn't decide whether or not to put on garland or maybe drape ribbons on it so consequently I left it until I could decide(that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it).
Yesterday I had a revelation as to how I wanted to do it & off I went to Michaels. I am very "anal" about always locking my car & also about putting the keys in my right pocket of whatever I'm wearing. I wandered around the store for about an hour & collected up all the components I needed to finish the tree & also could not resist going thru the yarn dept only to find there's a sale so I'm totally "psyched" because I got the perfect yarn for some projects I had in mind. I check out & am carrying my 3 bags of "loot" which I proceed to throw into the passenger seat. I was totally "not in the moment" because I thinking about "stuff" I'm going to make.
I go to put the keys in the ignition only to discover I have NO KEYS!!! Part of being anal is when I'm leaving a store I fish out the keys & hook them over my finger so I can hit the button to unlock the car without having to put down whatever I'm carrying! Now I am sitting in my car & don't even remember unlocking the freekin car cus I was so busy gloating over my bags of loot!! I tore my purse apart, I checked every place in the car, on the floor, under the seats....NO KEYS! I then get out of the car & crawl around on the wet ground looking under the car, walk all the way back to the store....NO KEYS!
Now I'm getting frantic as I don't even know where my spare key to the car is, so I go back to the car & tear everything apart again including the bags of "loot". I had bought glittery ribbon & dried german statice which is now all over the front seat of my car.....it looked like a bomb of glitter & fluff went off. After searching the bags 3 times I found the keys tangled up in the yarn!
Now 20 mins & a complete meltdown later I drive home!
I you need me I'll be laying on the couch sucking my thumb!
Love
