McDonalds Smoothie $2 Sale

"McDonalds Strawberry Smoothies for $2." That's what I heard while walking past the TV one day last week. 2 bucks! So cheap. Wendell said if I go, he'd take a Chocolate Chip Frappé which was also on sale.

I told myself that I should go to the drive-through on my way home from the swap meet the upcoming weekend. One drink for me, one drink for Wendell . . . only two items . . . should be a breeze.  See here if you don't know about my drive-through phobia. 

So, driving on the way home a few days ago, I remembered! Strawberry smoothie! Hoo hoo! 

I pulled into the shopping center and slowly approached McDonalds. Only two cars ahead of me; none behind me. Anxiety level: very minimal.

I drove through and totally aced it! No pressure. No stuttering. I even joked a little with the talking box thing about my husband wanting this Chocolate Chip "something". "Hahahaha!" The box thing knew exactly what I was talking about.

I bragged when I got home.

Me:  Wendell, I got your Chocolate Chip Frappé.

Wendell:  Ooooh, thanks. But . . . is that a large?

Me: Yah, why?

Wendell:  Was the large on sale too?

Me: Huh? Oh My Gawd!

No, it wasn't on sale . . . only the small size was. I had totally forgotten that the reason I wanted to get the drinks was to take advantage of the $2 sale! 

I hadn't even realized that I paid over $7 for the two drinks. So Babooze!
