How I Repaid a Lifetime of Karmic Debt in One Weekend...

Aaron & I went to Target on Saturday to pick up a few things...and that is where it all began. We get home & try the newly purchased lightbulb and it was the brightest white we had ever seen...it definitely needed to be returned. I tried on the tank top I purchased and I guess I overestimated my size, because the straps were so long my boobs would have needed to be around my bellybutton in order to fit. That needed to be returned...

Sunday arrives and we head back to Target to return the items from Saturday. I decided to spend some of my birthday money on some new bedroom items whilst Aaron takes care of the returns/exchanges. Things are going well.

We head to McAlister's for our Sunday tea and whilst we drink, we talk about many things, one of which was making fun our parents for not depositing checks using the ATM. After tea, we head down to the ATM so I can deposit several checks. The first one goes great - then I put in the 2nd check and the ATM screen goes black. We stand there for awhile wondering what to do and watch and the Windows start up screen comes on...awesome. After several minutes, it spits my card back out and we aren't sure if my checks are coming back or what. Well, they don't. Several minutes later, the sign comes up on the screen: "this ATM is out of service." I then spend quite awhile on the phone filing a claim with Bank of America so I can get the money from the checks I put into the ATM that were not credited to my account.

We decide to hang up the new bedroom curtain and I make the bed with the new comforter. Well, as it turns out, it's hard to hang up a curtain without a curtain. It is nowhere to be found - neither in the Target bag, nor in the trunk. So...it's back to Target for the 3rd time in about 24 hours. They have to watch the security tape to make sure that indeed the cashier forgot to put it in the bag and that we didn't steal it. All is well & we finally get the curtain.

I wanted a Burger King chicken sandwich as a treat for having such a ridiculous time returning/exchanging things. While in the drive-thru we are laughing saying "they'll probably get our order wrong here or something." They ask us to pull ahead into a spot and they will bring our food out to us when it is ready. Unfortunately, in this 5 minutes, the weather decides we'll have a thunderstorm. It is pouring...absolutely pouring. The girl bringing out our food obviously doesn't want to upset the weave, so Aaron gets out to go grab the food in the downpour. He gets back in the car and we drive away. About 2 minutes later we realize she forgot Aaron's drink. We opted to cut our losses and just go home at this point.

Hopefully this weekend will be over soon and the universe will be right again.
