Embarrassment at Walgreen's

I am stubborn! I am persistant! I am sometimes relentless! There! It's out there and I totally admit it! When I get an idea in my head there are times when I just can't let it go until I accomplish whatever it is that I want to do. About a week ago, I decided that Shea & I should take a picture with her bunny to send along with our Easter cards. We got Hunny after Easter last year so this was our first Easter with him. Last night, I take out the ol' 35mm camera (the good old days with negatives and all) and the tripod, we set it up and smile away with our little, sweet bunny! I got up early this morning so that I could take them into Walgreen's first thing. The clerk (Danny) was so nice and so helpful. I swear I seem so lame at times when it comes to the technology stuff. I even said out loud, "Geez- I'm acting like my mom" and he just laughed! I shopped for about 45 minutes and then the photos were done. They all came out pretty good, so instead of one pic, I decided to print 2 different ones. (I don't send 500 out like at Christmas- only about 40 or so) Danny wrote up my reprint order and told me that they would be ready at 2:00pm. Perfect...all set! I go to work, pick Shea up at 2:00pm and then we head to Walgreen's to get the reprints. When I got to the photo department, the guy (not Danny) could not find the reprints anywhere! I went over and told him that I had left them in the morning but they were not even in their system! Hmmmmm...thank goodness I did not lose my cool because just as I was about to go back and look for them myself, I realized I was at the wrong Walgreen's! I had gone to the one by my work this morning and this one was the one I always go to by my house! I was so embarrassed as I told the guy that I was at the wrong one! In my defense, all the stores are set up exactly the same so I just never thought twice about it! I got to the right store, picked my photos up, made Danny laugh when I told him what I did and went on my merry way! I don't think Danny will be asking me out any time soon! Well, our Easter cards went out in tonight's mail, photos inside and I'm going to sleep- a very happy girl I might add. I am learning that persistance is a really great attribute to have! As far as stubborn and relentless, who's perfect anyway?

If things go wrong, don't go with them.
