So yesterday was Veteran's Day. But, because it didn't appear on my AOL welcome screen yesterday, I had no idea. The day was supposed to be a productive one for me, since my Mom called Monday night and said that she'd pick the kids up from preschool Tuesday morning and keep them for the day. So, after I dropped the kids off, I went back home, spent and hour or so gathering the paperwork, etc. that I needed for my errands, then drove downtown. 1st stop~ the bank. CLOSED. 2nd stop ~ County Office of Family and Children ~ CLOSED, (even though their voice mail said that they were "in today"), 3rd stop ~ clerk's office ~ CLOSED. The worst thing of it all ~ I still had to pay the parking meter, although on most holidays you don't. So~ Veteran's Day is good enough for City/County offices and banks, but not good enough for parking meters?
So, after getting nothing on my list done, I consoled myself with a Super Target shopping spree. At least it was open!

LOL - not laughing at you...laughing at the situation. Bummer - but woohoo...spontaneous target shopping spree!!
You can always count on good old Tar-jay.
Haha, the AOL Welcome screen does save us over and over; they should consider using it as a marketing angle. They were remiss yesterday and see what happened!
