A Jessie Kind of Day

So this morning I'm feeling pretty good and spunky. Fresh new hair cut, new dress, and I awoke with energy abounding. So I get ready for work and I'm about half an hour earlier than normal. So I see my neighbor boy outside and decide that Aidan and I don't have enough photos of the two of us that aren't arms length away. So I ask him to take our photo. We all head to the car b'cuz that's where my camera was.


So it's not there. So we all head back to the apartment. I grab my camera. The camera turns on but tells me that the batteries are dead and shuts off. I go back in and get the other rechargeable batteries which are fully charged. I put them in the camera and pose. Nope, batteries aren't working. So we say thanks anyway.


I drop Aidan off at school (he can't find his homework).


I head to Safeway to go to the Starbucks located inside. Today Star has an especially volatile customer coming in to sign loan docs and I thought starting her day with a surprise frappacino would be nice. I wait the 15 minutes in line to give my order. I wait the 5 minutes to get my drink. I walk back to my car with both hands full of coffee and a big huge purse on my shoulder while trying to keep my dress from flying up. Of course it's a windy day, of course my delicates are in danger of viewing, and of course I didn't take that into consideration when I put on this dress.


So walking like a retard in order to keep everything where it should be I make my way back to my car. I put the coffees on the hood and open the door. I place one cup inside. I place my purse inside. I grab the second cup, go to sit down and bang my head on the rim of the car door. While doing so I continue to sit. However, impulsively my hand flies up to my head. It's the hand with the coffee in it and the coffee bangs against that same spot where my head hit, flies out of my hand, lands on my lap upside down and proceeds to pour all over my dress, legs, seat and steering wheel.



Needless to say, I'm at work wearing no nylons and a dress above my knee, and I had to clean myself off in the bathroom so the whole front of my skirt is soaked. But there's still half a frappacino left and by golly I'm guzzling it with a big goofy smile. At least I still have my coffee!
