was an everything needs to go wrong day.
1) Everything was fine and going smoothly in regards to preparing for the Bridal Expo - we were going to have lunch, pick up some easels, and head over to set up.
Except… our car battery died. Right when we were going to leave after lunch. Then also, no one could come get us. No one. Not Daniel’s parents, not our friends, we had to ask the people who worked at the coffee shop to help us and truly we thank God that one of the employees had jumper cables in his car.
2) Fine, we go get our car battery from Daniel’s parents’ place. Everything was fine. We head over to our booth area and found out the building was allowing everyone to set up till 9pm! Awesome.
Except… we needed to get furniture and props from Daniel’s parents business place, they usually close at 5pm. It was 5.15pm. We figured it was a regularly day for them and they were just at home chillin’. Nope. When we called, they were headed down to the coast to check on something for work and they were an hour away. So we had no keys to a truck, and we had no keys to the houses we needed to get furniture from. So the YAY for the 9pm thing was a negative.
3) So what do we do? Ok, go and get a frame for our competition print at Hobby Lobby. Oh wait, their frames weren’t 50% off and we had to spend 89.99 on a frame. great. So We found a good alternative, and all we needed to was to go home and get the picture to be framed.
On top of that I still needed to design a poster and get it printed. We proceed to head to Sam’s Club to pick up our 400 4x6s we got printed there. I sit in the parking lot and design while Daniel & Jace get curtains. We try and go into Sam’s Club. I had JUST signed up for a membership under my name, dumb mistake on my part cos i have no ID that says Stephanie Bishop!! My ID says Goh Mei Wan S - Awesome. That took a while for us to get settled.
We got that done, then our prints are fine, so i try to print my poster on one of those machines, and NOPE. the file could not read. Goodness I was ready to give up at this point.
All this while we were trying to get to the Fall Art Walk which was supposed to be a festival of fun, music & art. it was about 6.30pm when we got to Sam’s Club.
5) We go back to get the picture to get it framed, get to hobby lobby, the frame we picked out? Wrong size. We are dummies - that’s ok, we found another correct alternative, and this lady who was helping us was super nice and gave us 50% off. That’s one good thing!
6) Get to the Fall Art Walk, it’s about 8pm. Everything is almost over and at this point we were all STARVING. and there’s no food to be found! We leave and try and think of a good but inexpensive place to eat. Negative. Went to McDonalds- they got our order wrong!!!
We just sat there and laughed for a longgg while. Things finally got better when everything was over and we got home. And watched funny movies.
Sorry, i just had to recount this bad day. The worst possible day fate could pick, but we got through it, and I’m sure many people had way worst days, but everything went so wrong that it just had to be blogged about.
ha! Goodnight babies!
