holy-FREAKING-dang!!!
so...i decided it is time to go to the grocery store and get some more detergent...so, i talk to will, he tells me it should only cost about $6.00 for a small box of detergent...well, a big box is about $13, but he says not to worry about carrying a big box, just get small...so, i head out with a $10 bill and $1.00 worth of change...that way, i can give exact change...good thinker, huh???
so, on my journey i go...jeans, t-shirt and flip-flops...sections of sidewalk are flooded here as per usual from
apartment complexes watering the grass at night, so, i decide to walk in the grass in those areas...yeah, i may as well have walked through the water, it woulda been cleaner that way!!! i don't know how...but i managed to get mud all up my back...good thing i am going to buy detergent...too bad i had already washed whites and darks.
so, i get there...the small box is $10.99...well, it doesn't take a math major to realize that once you add tax, that is more than $11.00...AAARRGHHHHHH!!!!
so, i say to myself, well, i guess it is going on a visa card.
so, up to the register i go...and she rings it in...comes to a total of $10.99, so little miss honest me questions about no tax...well, she doesn't know how to ring in tax, so i am getting it for $10.99 today...NO TAX!!!
well, that is stellar, i tell ya...i got $1.00 in change, after all, so i can give her exact change...so, out comes the change...and all i count is $0.95...so, i apologize and recount...nope, still only $0.95...$0.04-freaking-cents short!!! you gotta be kidding me!!! apparently it takes a math major to count out $1.00 in change, of which i am not.
so yeah, you guessd it...VISA!!!

by-the-way, the word verification is STILL very annoying...anything you can do about that or is it just automatically put there and if it is how come it isn't on any other blog?!?! do you even know what i am talking about? i hope so!
