Close but no cigar

Remember my packing nightmares of the previous post?? The day before I left I treated myself to a little shopping spree: new jeans, new cover-up/dress and new shoes - these cute little slip on black mesh numbers with a small clunky heel- perfect for capris'. After dinner when I went upstairs to begin the packing ordeal I think the neighbor heard my screams ( I know he did cause he was in my living room painting.) My darling 2 yr. old black lab who has never even eaten an old shoe had eaten a corner off one of my new black shoes - but first he had to eat thru the plastic shopping bag (with jeans and dress(unharmed-phwee) then through the cardboard box and paper. I was yelling and threatening pretty good because my son came running to his rescue. I was glad that they weren't expensive shoes but, but...now I don't have my new cute shoes. :(

The day of the trip with everything packed in the car we drove the 7 min to pick up my son at school and first thing he says is, "I lost my glasses" - great- i didn't hide my displeasure-disappointment that he would not really be seeing the game/players we were so looking forward to and I would be seeing him squint his way thru our trip (not to mention the expense when we got back of a new pair). Score: down 1 shoe, 1 pair of glasses and we haven't even left town.

When we finally do arrive at our destination (i've blocked the 2 flights) and unpacked I realize that I did indeed forget my jewelry - no biggie for me tho since i usually wear the same things that are already on my body. During the trip I did manage to lose my make up - only one item tho.
And I wonder why I have those dreams - premonitions I'd say.
to be cont....
