I'm Nuts

As the note I left for my husband at 6:15 this morning declared, apparently I am nuts.

A few months ago, my husband and I saw a small teak stool to be used in a shower in a Tuesday Morning brochure. Having recently remodeled our tiny master bathroom, we thought this would be a nice addition to our beautiful, frameless glass shower...as well as an aid in shaving my legs in the shower.

We were Tuesday Morning novices. We were clueless. We went out in search of the shower stool a few days after the brochure arrived at our house.

Needless to say, we could find no remaining shower stools. A few months before that incident, we had seen luggage in the TM brochure. We foolishly went the following Tuesday evening. Yeah, no luggage left.

Last week I went to Tuesday Morning for a couple of items I'd seen in the latest TM brochure. But I couldn't find them at the three locations I went to. I was soooo sad. I'd lost at the Tuesday Morning game again. However, one of the clerks at the last store asked me if I needed help (a loaded question). I described one of the items to him. To my delight, he informed me that the items I was after were not in yet, but would be this Tuesday. He warned me to be at the store at 7:00 AM.

So, this morning I awoke to my alarm at 5:00, got ready, braved the early morning traffic, arrived at the store, and took my place in the line outside the shop at 6:45. I was about 12th in line.

And...

...I WON!

I got the items I wanted. No more, no less.

And then I was a responsible citizen and voted.

Not a bad start to a Tuesday morning.
