Some days you just need a cocktail. Last Friday I totally needed one. Allow me to explain...
So, on Thursday evening I was at the mall and these shoes that I've wanted forever were on sale! I'm going to call them the "Peter Pan shoe booties" (PPsb for short).
I know I never ever talked about these boots before, but when I first saw them, they were $110.00. I liked them, but not for THAT much. I figured, I would buy them once they went on sale. Well, then of course I forgot about them. I would see them once in awhile but they were always regular price so I pushed them to the back of my mind. Well last Thursday, the PPsb's were on sale! They were pretty much half price! Unfortunately, I was getting picked up right away and we were meeting my family for dinner, so I didn't have a chance to pick them up. But I figured, I would just come back the next day. I didn't even think to put them on hold. (So unlike me!) But I was in a hurry so I blew them a kiss and promised to return the next day. Well. You know where this is going. When I came back for them, they were gone. I circled the store, back and forth, but they were definitely gone. And instinctively I knew they were probably the last pair, and probably my size. I asked the girl anyways, who searched the back and even looked through the receipts for that day. She said they were sold that morning. And they were my size. Despair. I cannot believe I let the PPsb's slip through my fingers! Truthfully I had no one to blame but myself. But I had to blame someone. So I blamed my husband.
However, it was my husband's "Day of Lucky".
What does that mean you ask? Well it is the EXACT opposite of what my day was. Every store I went to, they either didn't have my size, or they "just sold the last one!". But my husband, as much as I was getting rejected from every purchase I wanted to make, was getting a deal on every purchase he was able to make! He found deals on everything from sweats, to shirts, to his "dream jacket"! It was getting ridiculous already. I was so depressed! However, I did manage to get some "consolation booties", a "consolation sweater" and a "consolation ring" out of all this, so I suppose it wasn't a total bust. However, I would have gladly given these all up just for those PPsb's.
Anyways...I needed a cocktail once we got home and this is what I had:
One part Absolut Mango, one part Mango Malibu, 2 parts Pineapple juice, shaken (not stirred) on the rocks, a splash of Passionfruit soda and walah! Delicioso! The perfect drink to drown my sorrows...I had 2 and promptly fell asleep. (What can I say, I'm a cheap drunk.)
