Do you ever have one of those days or evenings where things just don’t go the way you want them to?  Well, that happened to Eric and I tonight.

Strike 1 – We went to David’s Bridal to order my dress for my sister Katie’s wedding.  Rather than having to buy new shoes I decided to use the shoes from my wedding, since they were in pretty good condition, and just dye them.  Well, as it turns out, DB is now using a new water based dye and, since I had already worn my shoes, there was a chance that the oil on the shoes would mess up the dye.  They would not dye my shoes so I was forced to buy new ones (Eric was not very happy about that one).

Strike 2 – We had planned on going to Subway to pick up some dinner on the way home.  There is a Subway right by us where we usually go.  We attempted a trip last night on our way home from church, but they had closed early due to the weather.  We pull up tonight and they were closed again!  They didn’t even have a sign up to explain why!  I must add that the roads were clear and most of the snow had melted this afternoon, so there really was no reason why they should be closed (in our opinion).

Strike 3 – Since Subway was closed we decided to try the Quiznos down the road.  As we pull around the corner Eric started to (jokingly) say, “watch Quiznos is closed…..Oh you have got to be kidding me!”  Yep, they were closed too!

Strike 4 – After trying Quiznos we decided to try Q’doba.  Third times a charm!  However…

      Eric – “I’ll have a queso burrito”

      Q-man – “Do you want that naked (in a bowl, no tortilla)?”

      Eric – “No thanks.”

      Q-man – “Well, actually, our delivery truck got stuck in the ice and we don’t have any tortillas.” 

Eric (chuckling) – “Well, I don’t have much of a choice then do I? I guess I’ll take it naked.”

Strike 5 - We went in to Target after dinner to pick up a couple things, one of which was going to be Toll House break and bake cookies (our favorite).  They were completely out and we had to settle for Pillsbury.

Strike 6 – Eric needed some new chap stick and he likes the medicated kind.  Completely out.  We ended up with the moisturizer.
