I’m not the best packer. Every time we go on a trip, I forget something. Usually it’s something small, but sometimes I forget things I really need.
Take this trip. Last night, we drove to Chattanooga for my brother’s nursing school pinning ceremony, and we stayed overnight since his graduation is tonight. What did I forget? My pajamas, socks and, well, other necessary clothing items.
So, after the pinning we went to the new Wal-Mart here in Collegedale so I could grab what I needed. When we got to the register, I recognized the cashier. And he, unfortunately recognized me. We went to high school together. Sigh. It’s pretty embarrassing having a guy you know ring up women’s clothing items.

There’s nothing too embarrass about. He just doing his job and so are you.
Karen says
Oh yes, that would be awkward. Congratulations to your brother.
Sadie says
I always forget something when packing, too! One time I was so busy helping my husband pack that I forgot my whole suitcase…
Julie says
The FIRST night that I spent at my then new inlaws house I had forgotten my pj’s also. OMG, I felt so uncomfortable all night trying to sleep in just my undies.
Mark says
Yes I can imagine that would be embarrasing. You should havve blamed your brother LOL!
Christina thecoffeelady says
We all have these little embarrassing moments…. I think they are to keep us humble…. LOL
Jess says
Wow, there’s a reason not to live in a small town! My goodness.
Owen says
Hmm, yes, I think I would be embarrassed to have someone I know ring up women’s clothing items, especially in my size 😉
Diane Scott says
One of the great things about getting older is you spend a whole lot less time being embarrassed about things you have no control over. Instead, hopefully, it was good to see someone from your past? 🙂
Barbara says
Nothing to be embarrassed about. It is a small world after all. One day you’ll laugh about it!
Heather in Beautiful BC says
Ha – Dianne is sooo right! The older you get the less you worry about that type of thing. I still try to sort of hide the pantyliners under other things in my shopping cart though 😉
Samantha & Mr, Tigger says
Oh yes, Mom always forgets something! No matter how hard she tries not to forget! Thanks for sharing with us!

@samantha & mr. tigger – it’s not a trip if i don’t forget something!
cady says
@heather – i hide those in my cart too! or, i try to find a female cashier rather than a male. 🙂
cady says
@barbara – i was laughing about it when i left!
cady says
@diane – i didn’t know him too well since he was three years ahead of me, but i definitely recognized him immediately. collegedale is a very small city. 🙂
cady says
@owen – haha. 🙂
cady says
@jess – tell me about it!
cady says
@christina – i think so too. it’s a funny story to share.
cady says
@mark – i kept talking to my husband about forgetting a bunch of things hoping he would realize the deal.
cady says
@julie – they are easy to forget sometimes!
cady says
@sadie – hahaha. 🙂 my husband makes fun of me and asks me what i could have remembered since i forget so much!
cady says
@karen – just slightly awkward. 🙂 thanks for the congrats!
cady says
@nix74 – i realize that. it’s still a little awkward, though.
