Life with or without a wig!

What does this picture look like to you?

To you it may just look like a wig on the carpet, but to me it looks like TOTAL EMBARASSEMENT!!!!

This morning Craig and I left at 8:00 a.m. for a doctor’s appointment in Murray, Utah. The appointment was at 9:00 and we felt like we had plenty of time to get there. Well unbeknownst to us, there was a horrible accident on north bound I-15 and it took us 2 ½ hours to get from Lehi to the point of the mountain! UGH! We got to our appointment almost 3 hours late, and so did most of the other patients. So needless to say most of our day was made up of WAITING, SITTING and WAITING some more.

From all the sitting I had done, my feet were killing me from my neuropathy. (My feet hurt when I sit too much and when I stand too much – other than that life is great). So I walked around for a while out in the waiting room. At the far corner of the room, I saw a long bench and thought how nice it would feel to lie down. So I made my way over to it. I decided to make wise use of my time and make a few phone calls while waiting. While on the phone, I cautiously lay down and straightened out my feet. Oh it felt so good. I was there for about 20 minutes and started feeling really comfortable. I pushed myself back a little farther, to see if my feet could stretch out more, and as I did my head found the other end of the bench and tilted back. All of a sudden I felt cold air on my head.

One hand was holding the phone and so with the other hand I reached up to readjust my wig…to find out that there was NO WIG!!!!! (That’s why the cold air). I JUST ABOUT DIED!!!!! I quickly rolled off the bench onto my knees, threw down the phone and crawled over to where my wig had softly landed on the carpet. I grabbed it and put it on as quickly as I could, hoping I hadn’t put it on backwards and then looked up to see how many people had witnessed my crises. Luckily there was only one man looking my way and as I looked up at him, bless his heart, his eyes quickly diverted from mine! I bet he was dying laughing inside. I wanted to laugh too, but I had to hurry to the bathroom to see if my wig was on straight!!! (Too bad there wasn’t a secret video camera around to submit to funniest home videos). They say that the more you can laugh at yourself the longer you'll live..... so here's to the start of a long life for me!!!!
