Be careful about what you ask HP for


Today I get up and I say "Good morning Creator, how can i be of service today??? How can I bring smiles to at least one face??? Let me give laughter and joy today"   and I thanked Creator...

Went to work in the freezing cold, its like 30% out and thats pressing it....I arrive at work and everyone is there, all dressed up in winter clothes, freezing, begging the boss to pleeeeze turn up the heater, and he did

I am dressed in a nice pare of jeans, a beautiful sweater and some really really neat leather boots, leather upper, not calf high like my REAL bad weather ones..these are up to the ankles ....i like them that way:  Man made soles..but they were cool boots, I have several pair and these were one of my favorites b/c of the looks and feel of them...

So work is going along and i am walking to get a check signed and all of a sudden, my sole of my right boot begins to "flap" and trying to come off....I am walking and you can hear this "flap  flap  flap" with each of my steps  and I am waddling like a duck to keep my balance , i feel like i am walking in those swimming flippers, and everyone hears the sounds so finally i just put the toe of my left boot into my heel and i tear the thing off...

now i am walking one sole on, the other off....well??? i like unity...I hate being "uneven" in anything, everything has to match or I go nuts..My clothes have to be color coordinated, yea, i am fussy about my attire....And so with this in mind,  i grabbed the other shoe , with the sole still on and I grabbed the sole and I tugged and I pulled and I RIPPED and I got it off....everyone in the place is laughing at my new "moccasins"   hey it worked till i remembered i had a good will bag in the truck and low and behold a GOOD pair of boots....so i went out in the truck, being careful where i step b/c of my lack of soles.....i mean today, i just had NO soul......i grab the spares out of the goodwill bag....do the exchange and toss the "moccasins"

well i asked HP to bring smiles to others today an i had the whole office laughing at my antics w/my shoes.....they were a GOOD pair of boots, too, I am gonna go to goodwill and protest!!!!!

So how was your day?????
