another below zero day.
i scurry into menard's at noon to buy a gallon of paint for the ceiling of the new room.
i changed my mind about the wall color once and now i've got misgivings on the ceiling color.
i make my final color selection ( and i mean final or it'll be the dr. phil show for this marriage) in the paint dept. and head for the check-outs.
the lady in line in front of me is a store employee going off-duty. she's chit-chatting with the checker as her transaction progresses and they finish up business. the checker wishes her a merry christmas.
"oh, wait, i almost forgot to give you your present!" the customer/worker replies. she reaches into her big purse and pulls out a gift, beautifully wrapped, roughly the size of a brick. and it sounded like a brick as she plopped it down onto the counter with a big thud.
"it's a fruitcake!!" she proudly announced to the checker.
the look on that checker's face was priceless!
"you shouldn't have." said she.
deja vu or what? did i not write about the holiday fruitcake recently?? :)
i laughed all the way to my car.
if she choses not to regift it she can use it as extra weight in the trunk of her vehicle all winter.
