Today, I had one of those days that just kind of turns out to be a clusterf***.
You know, the kind where you wake up late with greasy hair 'cause you didn't wash it yesterday 'cause you're getting it cut today.
Lock yourself out of your house 'cause your key breaks in the door as you're trying to pull it out (needless to say, this happens while in "locked" mode, not "unlocked," 'cause that would be easy.)
Get to your appointment and wind up not getting a haircut 'cause you wrote the wrong day on your calendar and your stylist is on vacation.
Beg a random stylist to wash your hair 'cause it's a greasy mop and now you're not sure how many meetings and things you're going to have to attend today in your shorts and t-shirt 'cause you're locked out of your house.
Blow dry and style your own hair even though you're at a salon 'cause if one thing goes right today, it's gonna be that you don't look like crap.
Realize you've got to call your afternoon meeting and reschedule 'cause your files are locked in your house which you are locked out of.
Realize you've got to call someone else to get the number of your afternoon meeting 'cause the number is locked in your house which you are locked out of.
Realize you've got to call a third person to get the number of someone else to get the number of your afternoon meeting 'cause the number is locked in your house which you are locked out of.
Make said calls.
Get excited about being able to run errands instead of having a meeting because you really need to return a few things which are, oh yeah, locked in your house which you are locked out of.
Get excited about having the time to shoot some photos for a meeting that you need to do and you just need to grab your camera which is, oh yeah, locked in your house which you are locked out of.
Get excited about getting some much needed work done except that you just need your laptop and it is, oh yeah, locked in your house which you are locked out of.
Go to Lowe's and buy a new lock 'cause you know you're going to need one 'cause you've needed one every other time this has happened and you're going to be all AHEAD OF THE GAME this time.
Get home and meet the lock guy who is able to fix the lock without using the new lock you've just purchased at Lowe's 'cause he's just better than all the other locksmiths that have been summoned in the past.
And this is why my blog is called "That Wasn't In The Script." Because sometimes, friends, IT JUST WASN'T.
But at least I have nice hair.

I'm very impressed that all of your nice hair is still on your head, because my head would have exploded after a day like that!
ReplyDeleteIt's also impressive considering I nearly lit that same hair on fire this week when the dryer died! For more on THAT...post coming in just a few minutes!
