Wierd days

So you know how sometimes you just feel like everything has got to be happening for a reason?

Yesterday was one of those days.

About a month ago I was told by some lady at the jewelry store in Grandville that it would take 10 days to refurbish my ring so it's all spiffied up for the wedding. So, I planned on taking my ring to the jewelers 10 days before my first bridal shower so that I could have it back in time for the party. So I took the ring in yesterday to the jewelry store in Kentwood. The guy at the jewelry store said it'll be done on the 21st. Only takes 3 days, he says. Stupid lady at the jewelry store last time. But whatever.

So I decided while I was out there I should probably go shopping. I went to Vickys for their semi-annual sale and spent too much money. Then I went to the mall across the street and hit Nordstrom Rack for some great discounts on clothes and spent too much money. And then I went to Old Navy and found some items on sale/clearance and again spent too much money.

Point being, I was in the Grand Rapids area when I got the Mom Emergency phone call. Instead of taking 45 minutes to get to her apartment it only took about 20.

So I had the day off of work and I was fairly close when I was needed. Makes me think that it's just connected somehow. Wierd how that happens sometimes.

Isn't that fate? Or karma? Or something?
