frazzled without the dazzled
two things happened this evening.
1. we went to the postsecret talk on campus this evening. this site has certainly been a guilty pleasure of mine, every sunday morning for a while now. not to mention, i look at it throughout the week to think about the things that compel people to a) keep that a secret and b) confess. i find some of them interesting since i can't relate to them. some break my heart. some bring tears to my eyes. and yet, others make me smile or laugh. and i will even admit it, a lot of them make me feel good about myself because i realize how good i have it.
2. apparently, buying two lightbulbs over the weekend for what i thought was $14 turned out to be a $459 experience unbeknownst to me. can you say JESUS!?!?! at the moment, i am still shaken because i don't like it when money comes out of my acct and i didn't benefit from it. i can justify a car payment, mortgage, bills, coffee, maid, etc, because i get something out of those withdrawals. but $459 for two lightbulbs?!?!?! um, am i missing something? like, a lot of lumber, new carpeting, and an inflatable santa to put across the street on our ghetto neighbors lawn... say it with me JESUS!?!?!?!

Well, damn, I forgot about the PostSecret event.
And whaaaaat? $459 for a light bulb or two?
the postsecret guy will be back on the 14th. which is very cool. it is kind of interesting since he talks about why he does it and what he gets out of it. he is not the "best" public speaker, but he is good and thoughtful and it is worth it.
yep. apparently, there was a big ole snafu at the cash register and the guy behind me got a gift to the tune of $459. i felt bad for the girl trying to fix the problem, she was very sweet and concerned because the system was having a hard time finding the transaction in the first place. but it should all work out... i hope.
