All for a bagel

I cried over a bagel yesterday. Really, I did.

I had just finished up an acupuncture appt. and stopped at Einstein Bagels yesterday. Every fall they have pumpkin bagels and if that's not enough, they also sell pumpkin cream cheese. Yes....pumpkin cream cheese....I know. It is definitely one of my seasonal favorites. So after anticipating this experience all day, I finally got there at 4:15. But guess what time they close? 4:00!!!! Who the heck closes at 4:00???? In my moment of desperation, I did what any child would have done, I broke out the puppy dog eyes. One of the employees who took pity was actually kind enough to open the door and gently let me know they were in fact closed. I pleaded my case....I just needed ONE pumpkin bagel....and pumpkin cream cheese. He explained how they throw everything out and it was too late.....noticing that I was on the edge he mentioned he would see what he could do and closed the door. So I waited. Then the nasty manager came out and firmly said they were closed and he legally could not do anything for me. What's up with this legally crap? I am a desperate woman just looking for a pumpkin bagel and he pulls this legally thing on me. What is wrong with humanity? I again pleaded my case and he had not one sensitive or compassionate bone in his body.

So I got in my car....and cried. I always made fun of those silly pregnant women who claim to be extra emotional during commercials etc. Well....it caught up with me. I was legitimately distraught all over a bagel. I must be pregnant.

That was my first thought....she must be pregnant! Sounds like a very pregnant lady thing to do!

Although....I cried at the store the other day, over something totally silly. Sometimes I guess we're just women...pregnant or not!
