So I got my nails done today and after hopping of the chair to leave, I notice one of my sandals is missing. Unbeknownst to anyone it had been mistakenly scooped up by one of the many accessory carts the ladies are constantly whizzing around the shop.
Next thing I know there are 10 of us, staff and clients, crawling around the floor and hysterically laughing while trying to find my darn shoe. Someone eventually did and we all screamed with joy like it was a diamond ring. I didn’t have the heart to mention they were a $9.99 bargain buster item from the local grocery store.
Two lessons learned; people like to help and will pitch in when given the opportunity and everyone enjoys a good belly laugh!
Have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July weekend everyone. 🙂

LOL! It sure can be, yes. But I think nothing ticks off the enemy more than watching us casually get our nails done while the world is crashing down all around us. The very thought makes me smile.

Can a guy appreciate this ladies adventure without spoiling the party? lol
The unexpected joy from something so simple and your instant teamwork was hilarious but very cool as you say.
Now there’s another story too: the things we lose………and the zeal of our searches. Glad though you found the pearl of great price!! 😉
good fourth back atcha T.

I was wondering when the male species might join the party, thank you CS for representing! 😉 It was very much an unexpected and joyful moment, really made me appreciate all the more the little miracles life gives us daily.

Now the question that follows is, “if it was a diamond ring that was lost, would the finder be just as willing to return the ring as the finder was willing to return the shoe?” It is my belief under these conditions the ring would have been returned. Under different circumstances, if the ring was found by a person already possessing wealth, I might be less optimistic. Some people can’t seem to accumulate enough to bring joy to their lives. The need for ongoing wealth satiation has no limits for some. I feel sorry for these individuals.
Anyway, glad your situation worked out and brought lots of smiles to everyone’s faces.

I do believe the ring would have been returned as well Jonathan. I think too that greed is more a condition of the heart and has little to do with how much money one has. You are sure right that there is never enough for some.

Stated with integrity and clarity I have come to expect from you. Greed is definitely a condition of the heart. The good new is, it’s a condition that (fortunately) has a cure (for those willing and wanting to accept a cure.)

Well I wasn’t going to chime in until ColorStorm showed up. I actually got a visual image there and it made me laugh.
Made me think of Jesus seeking us also…and a couple of parables about people seeking lost things like sheep and coins.
Funny stuff Tricia

Somehow I think both you and ColorStorm would do fine chatting it up with the ladies in a nail salon. I mean that as a compliment by the way…;)
Love the parable comparison, very apt!

My wife wants me to go with her to get a pedicure…evidently that is according to her as close as these earthly bodies get to heaven. She did that in fact just today. Her anniversary gift was a massage and pedicure for her and a friend. Massage…maybe. Pedicure…not sold on that one yet LOL.

My first job out of high school was at the local Dunkin Donuts, and every school day around lunchtime lots of the local high school kids would show up to get their sugar fix. One day after school, a few kids who had been there at lunchtime came in again, and one of them was frantic because he’d lost his retainer (and back in those days, those things were damned expensive to replace). He’d taken it out while he was eating, wrapped it in a napkin to keep it clean, and then absent-mindedly left it on the counter when he left to go back to school. Since it looked like any normal crumpled-up napkin, it had been swept off the counter into the trash. I got the trash can where I figured it must be and upended it, and everyone started searching through the trash. Eventually someone found the missing retainer, and a huge, unanimous shout of joy went up from all of us. It was one of those wonderful memorable moments from my short-lived career as a donut pusher. 🙂

I loved that story Bluebird, thank you for sharing! Isn’t it awesome those spontanious moments like that we will remember forever?
I never worked at Dunkin Doughnuts but I was always a big fan and I also knew plenty of kids who threw out their retainers like tha! You must have grown up back east like me (Massachusetts).

Ha ha ha! If you must know I picked it up in disgust on my way out and smashed it across the wall.
Nawww, I didn’t do that of course but felt like it when I realized later that the damn cart ate some of the pretty beads off my sandal. 😉
