A few things I've learned since Thursday night:
1) Altruism isn't the best reason to get an elderly lady some cornmeal. The best reason may be the surprise baked goods you get as a thank-you.
2) It only takes about 2 and a half hours to stuff 34 envelopes, if the envelopes contain ballots with recipients' names on them and additional pre-addressed, stamped envelopes inside. Oh, and being on the Board of Directors for your HOA is a thankless job.
3) It's a bit of a challenge to buy mascara at a non-$150-balsamic-vinegar grocery store after 8:30 p.m. on a Saturday.
4) I still have the cutest dog ever.

I think I'll go find an elderly lady who needs some cornmeal, or flour, or sugar....
ReplyDeleteOh my. They lock up the mascara? What's a girl to do? I'm feeling stressed and may have to stock up. Cute pup!
ReplyDeleteHilarious, and yes Olive you are the best
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Jean, they said something about not being able to staff that department after 8:30, but I still don't think that explains the need to lock it all up. I think it's so funny. And weird.
ReplyDeleteBLGma- heehee. exactly.
B&L- xo
Are they are afraid the lipsticks will get out.
ReplyDeleteYes, Libby! Like the brooms dancing in Fantasia... I bet the makeup is a lot more rowdy with the dance moves than the brooms, etc., so they have to be very careful and lock them up!
ReplyDeleteThe cosmetics section has a curfew? Who knew??
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world, they lock up the makeup aisle after 8:30pm?! Strange! Only in Texas...? ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet of your neighbor to make you some cupcakes. Made it totally worth it I'd say!
