When Oops Is Funny

 Every year I buy myself a birthday present. The reminder we are important to ourselves is a message, I believe, we need to hear as well as respect.

Mind you, the birthday present-to-self is not an excuse to go off and go wild buying stuff. There have been years when birthday cake was my present-to-self. (I was on a no sweets diet.)

This year I bought an adorable half inch serepentine pendant necklace.


As you can see from the photo, I greatly underestimated the size. 

This is not the first time I have not paid attention to an item’s size. There’s the hot air balloon poster to cover the wall above my double closet that arrived in a size ten envelope. And then there’s the small bedside lamp that arrived in a box the size of a beer keg. Yes, I have made mistakes buying online. 

The lovely part about it is all those oops made me laugh.


Adding…

Evidently there are 2 choices to have with a Dunkin Blueberry Breeze Refresher. No need (when asked what I want with that) for me to keep saying “A straw.”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥴
