  Wanna hear something cool? Sure ya do...listen! 

  
  

   About 2 weeks ago I found an air inflated 'lawn sculpture' of 4 pumpkins stacked onto each other, it's really cute and it's 8 feet tall and it just has a little fan in the bottom that inflates it and keeps it inflated until you turn it off...really cool, I think (then again I'm easily amused so....) Anyway, I noticed it on Wal-Mart's website one day looking for stupid thing or another.  Finally I go to WM yesterday and I ask about it and no one can find one.  I go to Cust Service and the lady says, "Wow, a lot of people keep asking about that thing."  They had one inflated out front, so I suppose that everyone wanted one.  Anyway, I come home and get on the website and it says that there are limited quantities and I may or may not get it.  So I think we'll I'll try my luck and I'll order it.  Then I get to the page where shipping is calculated and they want $20 to ship it...uhhh NO!  So I finally settle on the single 6 foot inflatable pumpkin that they had when I was up there (only one left too!) Well I think to myself right before dozing off to sleep and I say "Ya know I'm getting those pumpkins, I’ll go up there tomorrow and they'll have one left or I'll get the display outside, I WILL get those pumpkins, they will be MINE MINE MINE!!".......
  Head to WM and do some shopping and notice in a lady's cart the ONE 6ft pumpkin left in the store...I rush over to the Halloween section and what do I find...NOTHING, no 6ft pumpkin no 8ft stack of 4 pumpkins...just one measly 4ft pumpkin and it's just a regular inflatable (plastic, not nylon fabric)....so I stand there thinking, "There has to be one around here somewhere, there IS one around here somewhere...there HAS to be!" So I look around and then for some reason I look down and what to my wandering eyes appear? But the box for the 8ft sculpture!! I'm so excited I snatch up said box and notice that it had been open, so I open it...EMPTY!! Yup, nothing in there but some string thingies and lawn stakes.  So I think "I bet that's the display outside."  And so I just continue to look up and down the aisle.  Then a VERY nice lady appears and asks if she can help me, so I explain to her that I want to 8ft pumpkins and the ONLY one they have is the display, and I want to buy it..NOW.  So she gets a manager and he says "Why not sell it? Let her have it!" HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! So what is sitting in my garage RIGHT THIS MINUTE!?!?!?! An 8ft pumpkin sculpture!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!! Oh and a 4ft inflated one too hehehehehehe I LOVE Halloween and pumpkins and all that jazz!!!!!!!
  I find it utterly cool that with everything working against me (none left on the internet site, none in the store, and the box that I found had been returned by a lady when she realized she bought an empty box! lol, glad she didn't ask to buy the display!) I STILL got it...I GOT IT!!! I GOT IT!!!! hehehehehehehehehehe!!! This shit NEVER happens to me, until now!! I told DH to go buy a lottery ticket

  Last night the DH and I decided to go to Toys R Us, they are having a KICK ASS sale on board games, BOGO FREE!! hoooo hoooo! So, we decide to kill some time before dinner, dress the kids and head out to buy Scrabble, and Trivial Pursuit.  Well it's been raining ALL day here and earlier in the day I was teaching BT how to operate the umbrella (pushbutton thingy on the handle) well he tells us as we're heading to the garage that he wants to use the umbrella and I say sure.  He uses the umbrella to the car (a whole 10 steps) then when we finally get to TRU he has to use it again.  Well he hasn’t gotten the whole timing, don't close it or open it around people thing.  So he steps just inside the door and there were 2 college guys RIGHT behind him and he just stops and hits the button to close the umbrella.....shooting a nice spray of rainwater all over the college guy behind him (the second guy was shielded by the first).  Both guys are cracking up laughing and I'm REALLY trying to not bust a gut laughing my ass off and I'm trying to apologize to wet-boy, he's laughing his ass off also (THANK GAWD!) and both the guys blew it off, course the friend kept saying "Dude that was FUNNY!" ROFL  It was absolutely hilarious and I'm sure that you had to be there....And thanks to those guys for understanding that my kid is just a kid and didn't mean to...most 30-somethings that I meet wouldn't have been so nice.
