my shopping trip
I decided around 545 last night that I needed a few groceries. So I headed out the door to SMart.
Well, I noticed it was just starting to sprinkle as I was pulling out of my garage, and even though I had been hearing emergency storm warnings on the tv/radio, I figured I was safe. They said the storm was REALLY bad, lightning, thunder, hail, downpours, etc. But it was south of K-town in the H-town/L-town area.
So...I spent about 15 minutes in SMart, picked up my few groceries, and was standing in the checkout line...when I noticed that it was POURING outside. AH!!
There I was in my flip-flops, capris, short sleeves, and NO UMBRELLA, about ready to grab my bags and head to my car! The nice lady bagger asked me if I wanted help out...I wondered secretly if maybe she could go get my car and drive it up to the door for me. hehe. But instead of asking, I shook my head no, turned away her offer of a plastic bag to cover my head (ah! haha) and walked out the door...
Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I was in a full sprint and half-way to my car that the raindrops were HUGE AND it was HAILING...lol. In just about seven seconds I made it to my car, threw the groceries on the passenger seat, climbed in, closed the door, and it was then that I realized...I was SOAKED.
Literally!
My hair, my clothes, everything. lol. It was the funniest thing...I just had to laugh! I drove home soaking wet, laughed again as I unloaded my groceries and examined my wet clothes and hair, and changed into comfy sweats.
I still giggle a little just thinking about it. haha. Gotta love that rain!
