On my way home from the store today I stopped off at the liquor store so that I could pick up a candy bar and a newspaper. My father still likes to read these things and I needed my sugar fix, and while I was there I decided to double check my list. That morning I had set out to pick up some party products and a ton of other little things all over town, which took me the better part of the whole day. By the time I was on my way back home I was so tired that I could have fallen asleep right behind the wheel, but I knew I had to make sure that I picked up everything so I didn’t have to make any return trips.

As I was going through everything I realized that I forgotten to pick up the birthday cake toppers. Instantly I remember being at the store when I had this in my hand, but then I’d received a call from one of my ex-girlfriends. She wanted to see if we could rekindle our relationship and I’d thought about this from time to time, but then I quickly realized that this would’ve been a really bad idea.
