I should have gone straight home!

I had my hair cut on Saturday. It was also raining hard for most of the day. Since my hairdresser was running late and since it was pouring out, I told her I would go home with my hair wet and also save the expense of a blow dry.
Of course, I had the bright idea to just make one stop at a local independent shoe store that was having a big sale. Just in and out I thought to see what they have.
Yeah right!
I approach the store and there standing in the entrance way outside is a former dcd and my former dck's who I haven't seen in 11/2 years. Of course I was also wearing my grubby clothes, so the look on dcd's face was priceless as we made eye contact. I briefly explained laughingly (as I was cringing on the inside) that I just came from the hairdresser blah blah blah. I was talking to the kids and then dcm came out of the store. "oh......is it raining that hard?" I explain again about the hairdresser as she looks me over.
We are chatting about how big the kids have gotten when I hear "HELLO!" I turned to see current clients with their dcg approach. I make introductions all the while trying to smooth my dripping hair away from my face. I AGAIN have to explain about the hairdresser blah blah blah and of course current dcm tries to make me feel better by saying she goes out all the time looking like hell and always runs into people she knows too. Oh, that made me feel so much better.
I said my good byes and went home......I don't need shoes that bad.
