Need a laugh? Picture this...

I'm walking out of the local flea market, for as you know I love a good bargain. Found one. Some crazy vendor was selling all their CDs for 1.00. YES, you read me right, "1.00." Although the CDs were used, and a few years old, they were in good shape, no scratches. I paid six big ones for six CDs of favorites like Chris Tomlin, Pocket Full of Rocks and Hillsong classics. Yep, pretty proud of myself...
Oh wait, that wasn't my story. I was suppose to make you laugh. Sorry, got a little sidetracked with my purchase. I LOVE Christian music, so... Oops! There I go again. Now, where was I?

Oh yeah...

I was walking out of the local flea market, to my car. It was closing time so the parking lot was pretty much empty. Right as I get close to my car door, I see one of these...


If you know me well, then you know that there are just some critters on this earth that I have to ask the good Lord, "WHY?" I mean, don't you think this world would be a prettier place with out the bugs that bite, sting or just plain give me the "heber jebers?!!!" Anyway, back to my story...
I see the BIGGEST RED WASP I have ever seen, on my door. I stop. I realize when it flies at me that it KNOWS I'm there. IT WANTS ME. I walk slowly to the right, then back to the left. I took a few steps back, a couple forward, all the while dodging the BIG RED WASP, the HUGEST ONE EVER, that WOULD NOT LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Finally, after doing a dance with one of God's meanest creatures, I make a run for the car, get in and QUICKLY slam the door. As I am sitting in the driver's seat, panting from the parking lot Tango I just endured, I look around and realize that I am in an empty parking lot. There I was, in clear view of anyone who cared, in the middle my little town at rush hour. Straight ahead lies the BIG glass windows of the flea market right by the cashier. To the side of me are cars sitting at the busy street light. On the other side is the drive through at the bank...
I can only hope that God was the only one who witnessed my dance with Mr. Sting. I can only imagine what kind of score Carrie Ann, Len or Bruno would have given me.
Happy Weekend! Hope it is a good one!
Prayers and blessings...

LOL! That is too funny! I have had moments like that before... but they make some great memories. You gave me a chuckle! :)

Bridget said...

Yep, I can imagine! I don't like critters like that either.

Too funny! :D

Oh too funny. That sounds like something I would do too. But everyone would see it. LOL

Sis,
Ok! On reflection, which had you rather be seen doing? Dancing the "avoid the sting tango" or the "sting watusi"? Recalling the previous blog - you know about what people think? - What do you think? Imagine the kind of antics that others do in the midst of such crisis and just smile in relief!

P.S.: I don't like those critters much either.

Love,
Jim-Dad

Can you believe it - the word verification this time is "dorkle". Where do these come from?

Mich,

I too, would have completed that same crazy dance. I had the horrible time one day while waiting to pick up my daughter at school to have a bee fly into my car and refuse to get out. Imagine how silly I looked waiting outside of my car in the high school parking lot for the bee to get out.

I can related and for the record I think they would have given you a perfect 10!

Make sure you stop by my blog for a chance to enter in both book giveaways as one ends tomorrow.

Love and Hugs ~ Kat

Oh, the joys of small towns where everyone knows you. Too funny! Glad you didn't get stung. I feel the same way about stinging creatures and reptiles. Why, God, Why?

Gretchen said...

Yeah, I supppose that's going on the list for questions for God: Why are there wasps? Glad you're okay.

Kristin said...

Haha!! You are so funny :D At least it didn't sting you though!! LOL! I love Christian music too and that's an awesome deal!
