Orange
Today I had a compulsion to buy an orange purse.
I think it all started with my very bad morning where I had called an 8:30 meeting for a high-pressure committee that I never should have volunteered for. I forgot to show up. I was happily walking along Main Street at 8:30 on my way to work, cell phone ringing crazily in my backpack, and I was thinking, "I'm so clever, living close to work and getting exercise."
When I arrived, the committee group had been sitting around for 15 minutes, and one person was steaming mad. Fast forward: me choking back a sob as I called over my shoulder at them, "I'm not Wonder Woman! I can't do everything!"
On my lunch hour I scrounged around the trendy shops on Main, looking for an orange purse, because only an orange purse would help me feel better. I couldn't find one, so I bought a sandwich and a huge coffee instead.
After hours of student-parent-teacher report card conferences with my eyes scratching and my smile plasticked on, I caught a ride home with a friend and went straight to my computer. I found some little orange shoes with yellow polkadots, but then I found that Keds doesn't ship to Canada.
I think tomorrow I'll go look at cute little orange VW Beetles.
I love Wonder Woman.
