We were expecting an appliance delivery the other day, so I stayed home. When I phoned the company, I was delighted to find out that delivery was scheduled after 3:30, leaving me a few hours to dress and go out. I wasted no time, and armed with my coupons, hit the mall. It was a great morning, bought a new dress and a few other things, until just before lunch I received a call that the delivery was moved up to 12:30! Now, I'm 20 minutes from home and if I catch every light at the right time I should just make it - of course I get caught at almost every light instead. All the while I'm thinking if I arrive home at the same time as the delivery maybe Donna can accept it. An exciting thought, but I'm not ready to face that challenge yet! Long story short - I make it home on time, change clothes and it all works out. First time almost outed.
A little later my wife calls me and says that she'll be home late. Dare I try for another shopping trip - of course! I get ready again, go out (wearing my new dress), have a great trip and even budget my time properly - I'll be home in plenty of time to leisurely change and maybe even cook dinner. As I'm about to turn onto my street, I notice that one of our friends is parked in front of my house, sitting in their car! Now I normally have a set of drab clothing in the car to change into, just for such emergency situations. I look for it, but it's not there! What to do, back to Kohl's, of course, to buy somthing I can wear into the house. I find a pair of women's jeans and polo shirt, just unisex enough to get me into the house. Just after I changed (in the car) and about to arrive home I realize I forgot that the only shoes I have with me are my heels. No problem - I walk in barefoot (quickly) and greet my friend who made a surprise visit.
Moral of the story, always check to see that you have a change of clothing!
