A few days ago I was at the grocery store and I noticed that one of the sales people had left one of their POS systems on the shelf. I assume they were using it for ordering products and got called away. It was lying on the shelf alone and I couldn’t help but pick it up and have a look. Granted, I’m not that familiar with them, so I didn’t know what I was looking at, but I was tempted to try to use it, or even hide it behind some of the canned goods just so they’d have to look for it. I didn’t do it, but I did think about it. Next time- I’m not so sure I won’t let my mischievous side show. What would you have done?

Funny Birthday’s
July 8th, 2010
One of my dearest friends had a birthday on the 6th. I emailed her the day before her birthday to let her know that her gift would be arriving late. It was scheduled to be delivered the day after. On the morning of her birthday, she got up and her husband told her that her gift would be a little late and she said ok. She got ready for work and her daughters told her that their gift was going to be late. Again, she thought- ok. She drove to work, and one of her colleagues said that her gift would be a little late. She didn’t mind, because she isn’t a child anticipating gifts, but she found it odd that everything was late.. I would have as well. Oh, and somewhere in there here sister also called and said that her gift would also be late.
She arrived home to find a beautiful cake and everyone singing happy birthday to her. Even her sister and their family had Skyped in to wish her a great day. It was sweet. The girls went ahead and gave her the card they’d bought for her, and she noticed a box. They said it had came that day but they weren’t sure who it was from, other than that it was from Coach. She opened it and saw on the invoice that it was from me.
She opened the box, and inside was a card that read- “Happy 30th Birthday Mary”. She had no idea what to think. She knew it was from me, and everyone thought it was a joke. I wasn’t around for her to be able to call me, so she called my mom. The following morning, I saw that she’d left a message on my Facebook and mentioned that she and Mary had a great birthday. I had NO idea what she was talking about, so I called her. That’s when she told me the story, which was hilarious.
I did call Coach to let them know that the card was mixed up and they apologized.
The day after her birthday she received a gift from her sister, which was chocolate covered strawberries from Shari’s Berries. I had those same berries in my shopping cart to order them for Samantha and changed my mind. Ironically, her sister almost ordered her a gift card from Coach like the one I did get her. She suggested we talk before Christmas, and I think she’s right.
Redneck Smoke Alarm
April 27th, 2010
I receive what seems to be a gazillion jokes every day via email, but rarely do I find that I want to share them with the masses. Don’t get me wrong, I do get some really funny ones, but I usually have something else to ramble about so the jokes don’t make the ‘cut’.
This morning’s email from my brother is the exception. This IS the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while- It’s simply entitled Redneck Smoke Alarm. If you can’t see what the picture is- it’s a container of ‘Jiffy Pop’ popcorn hanging on the wall. I guess if there’s a fire the sound of the popcorn popping will surely wake you up if you’re snoozing, and while you’re on the way out the door, you can grab it from the wall and enjoy some fresh popcorn.
Please know that I’m not making fun of homes going up in flames or anything of the like. I know that’s serious and tragic. I’m also not making fun of rednecks, although you have to admit this is pretty funny, and when I saw it, I actually thought about walking into someones home and seeing that hanging on the wall and how I don’t think I’d be able to contain my laughter, even though it would risk offending someone.
Come on- You know you want to laugh- I did! I don’t know whose home this is in, nor do I know who this picture belongs to, so I can’t give them credit, but thanks bro. for making me laugh.
