Everyone has heard of Britney Spears. And, I'm sure that everyone has heard of the stunts that she pulls. From her impulse marriage to her most recent shaven head. I cannot help but wonder if Britney ever thinks before she acts. Does she rationalize any decision before making it.
Most of us have made decisions on impulse before. Not even giving it a second thought before we act. Sure enough, two seconds afterwards we start to think ....... "Should I have done that?". At least I do anyways. And, today I had one of those moments. I didn't spread eagle and show my vajayjay to the world. Nor did I summon my limo driver to the nearest chapel so I could marry my childhood neighbor. My Britney moment, unlike Britney herself, was a private ordeal. Something that I could keep quiet about and no one would be any wiser. I'll explain:
Today after a long day of work (which was only 4 hours) I went to the grocery store to pick up some items for dinner tonight. I didn't go to the Super Wal Mart as they are always too busy and crowded at that time of day. Instead I went to the overpriced local store. After purchasing some rice, hamburger and celery my bill was $28.00!!!! I felt robbed! However, I knew I would be spending more at this local market. I was basically paying for convenience. Being able to park next to the entrance. Avoiding any crowds through the aisles. And being the only person in the check out line. It was worth it. My cashier was sweet and asked me if I had a punch card yet. I didn't and she grabbed me a new one. The whole idea behind this new punch card is to attract new business. For every dollar you spend you will get a punch. After you spend $300 you can scratch off the prize. Every card is a winner of at least $1.
After leaving the store I thought about this card. I was curious what the prize was. So, I scratched it off. $1000 CASH was revealed! At first I got so excited. $1,000 would come in so handy right now. Then it hit me. I didn't win a grand. I didn't win anything. I only spent $28 - way short of the $300 needed. Thus, making my punch card null and void.
I feel like such an idiot. I could have won $1,000. Instead I made a decision without even thinking about it and lost it all. Now no one can win that $1000. I had the winning ticket and wasted it.
Do you have any Britney Moments you would like to share? Tell me your worst and make me feel better. Please!
