Today Was A Very Very Good Day

Nothing makes a girl feel better than a new pair of shoes! Well, maybe a mani/pedi to go along with it. I got my first paycheck from my new job today. Medical insurance costs are not yet being deducted, so it was a good check. Guess what I did! I bought new shoes...and they were on sale. Yea!

The thing is, as I was leaving with my purchase my cell phone rang. I look down and the Caller ID says "Mom and Dad". I automatically thought, "Crap! How did they know?"

I answered the phone and my Dad, who is one of the coolest people I know, says "Sooo. You got your new paycheck today; you went to the bank and deposited it; now you're sitting at home in your apartment with your feet up and feeling pretty good, huh?"

I stepped out of the shoe store, into the mall and headed for my car. "Well, not exactly. I'm not at home yet."

"Where are you?"

"The mall."

"Uh, what are you doing at the mall...with a new paycheck in the bank?"

"Well, I'm NOT in a shoe store!"

Dad chuckles, "Just left?"

"Yup!"

Okay, maybe you have to be a member of my family think that was as hilarious as we did. Trust me, it was funny. What's even better? Dad listening to me babble about how cute my new shoes are. See? Cool.
