Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Costco Treasures

I had to make Costco run today. I was almost out of fruit, cheese, nuts and that incredible LaBrea Bakery bread.

Costco being what it is, there was no way that I could leave with just what I came in for. I found a lovely tree rose. How could I pass that up?

Costco also had new jackets. Did I mention that it is about 100 degrees and humid? Or, that their air conditioner wasn't working? That might stop an ordinary mortal, but not me.

I tried on jackets under sweltering conditions and found the lovely mulberry one that I'm pictured wearing. Do I care that I already have 44 jackets? No, because I didn't have any jackets in this color. I just don't know how I survived this long without a mulberry jacket. ( I know that I have a problem, but I want to remain in denial a little bit longer.)

It could have been much worse, though. I saw a carpet that would be perfect in my kitchen and it was only $999.99. Trembling with lust, I managed to walk away. (sigh...)

Thanks, Michelle. And now I have one more thing to cram into my closets. Like you, I live in a warm climate and rarely need a jacket. So, now I have 45 jackets.

A person can appreciate the specific color of the jacket so much more if they read the posts prior to this one! LOL
Lovely jacket. And rose tree. And you!

And, I can eat all of the mulberries I want and not worry about staining my jacket, not that I would actually wear it during the hot mulberry season. :)

You have 45 jackets! I thought I was the one with OCD! Wait, how many pairs of shoes do you have?

Probably more than anyone you know, except for you. But why should that be a surprize? You already know about my linen, china and bath products problem. I have some other problems too. You've never looked in my closets have you? :)

No, and now I'm afraid to.
