Retail Therapy

I should be sitting in Atlanta right now waiting to arrive in Pensacola in a couple of hours . . . obviously not happening.

The story in a nutshell.
  • Flight overbooked
  • All flights going out today overbooked including ones out of Cleveland, Columbus, and Pittsburgh.
  • Can book another flight; Option 1 is to fly out tomorrow and arrive at 5:30 p.m. (the baby shower is at noon) Option 2 would be to shell out $800 minimum for a new ticket; very tempting, but my husband would kill me considering I would be in Florida for less than 48 hours. That comes out to a little over 16 bucks per hour. Putting it that way, it doesn't sound THAT bad, but I still don't think I could convince Tanner.
  • Decide to drive, I'd be there by 1 a.m.
  • Mom and sisters convince me not to drive the 13 hours to Pensacola.
  • Decide to bum a ride from a trucker who seems nice and bought me a soda.
  • Ok, so I lied about the trucker. No ride to Florida in 16-wheeler or free soda.
  • Not going to Florida.
  • Tanner and Turner are living it up at Grandma and Grandpa's house . . . 2 hours away. Won't be back until late tonight.
  • Pissed off and hungry . . . what's a girl to do?
  • Spend the $300 I just got refunded for a trip to Florida on some retail therapy.

Conclusion: If nothing fits right, they don't have my size, and I can't find anything I like I'm seriously going to go on a killing spree . . . starting at the airport.

On a brighter note . . . .

NO. You know what, there isn't a brighter note today. I refuse to end this one with something positive. Now where the eff did I stash the rainy day fund?

That is absolutely awful! I can't imagine how pissed you must be right now. I really hope you did some serious shopping yesterday! I am so sorry that this happened.
