Best Laid Plans.... Seriously??

When my plans get thwarted, I find myself getting irritated.  Saturday was one of those days... I had great plans...

I had made an appointment to get a massage (my hubby gave me the certicate for Valentines Day)... Decided I needed a pedi and what would be even sweeter than to stop at Micky D's and get a Mocha Frappe to enjoy while reading my book on my ipod touch?...

Sigh... plans made... what could go wrong??  Well, let me tell you....

My iPod touch needed updating.... no big deal... plenty of time... WRONG... something glitched and it needed to be totally restored to factory settings... OMG  what am I going to read now while getting my toes did??   No worries, Plan B  I'll grab a magazine and do some light reading... I can go with the flow here...

First stop... McDonalds for a tasty Frappe...  AWESOME.. there is NOBODY in the drive thru line!!  Feeling good!! ... until the attendant says... I'm sorry we can only take cash... our machines are down.. Are you kidding me?  I got no cash!!  That wasn't part of the plan..   Oh well, it's ok...  Plan B I'll just grab a tea by the nail salon... All is not lost.... humph....

Get to the salon to sign in and then go grab my tea... wait a minute... why are there so many people hanging around there? Oh no, say it isn't so... PLEASE... yup, it is ... they are slammed busy... Plan B AGAIN... I hop back in the car and hit up another salon... who takes me right away.. (how am I supposed to get my drink?)...Plan B goes into action yet again.. I'm not dying here... I can wait....

Finished up with the toes... would have been nice to have been sipping my Frappe, and reading my book loaded on my ipod, but, I'm flexible... I can adjust...  While I was there, I remembered that I had left the directions to the new location of our massage therapist at home..  No wories...Toes are done... just jump in the car and go to Walmart to grab something so I can use my debit card (and get some cash), run home to get my directions and then just ride back to McD's for my beloved Frappe... Simple enough

At Walmart, I grab a token item to purchase, run to the check out line..  wait patiently for my turn... and walah... I'm ready to check out.. get my cash... and move on... Swipe my card.... tell it I want cash (cause I also have to pay the sitter), and for some reason there was a glitch in THEIR system.... GRRR  I only made a purchase because I wanted to avoid another stop at an ATM...

SOOO... home I go to grab my directions... and next stop... ATM to ge cash... It better be working is all I can say!!!  (Not that I could do anything about it were it not working!)  WHEEEEE!   It worked... now if the traffic runs correctly, I can make a stop at McD's and get something to eat... hmmmm drive thru is slammed... I shall park and go inside to save time!!!   Well, that went well... UNTIL I decide to back out of my parking space and the non thinking people waiting for the drive thru have unnecessarily blocked me in... Deep breath... it's ok... I still have time to make it and not be late !!  Good think I am going for a massage to ease tension!!!    By the way... Dana was amazing... he even gave me extra time to make sure that the knots were relaxed and my muscles were loose!   

It seems that my plans were thwarted at every turn... I have to wonder though, what else was planned for me that has not come into fruition.  What have I been missing out on that I don't even know about.  Just curious...

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
