As you all know, Easter is just around the corner....literally, for me! My "Visits with the Easter Bunny" at the Shopping Center begin on Sunday. Yikes! All morning I have been hanging pipe & drape, flowers from the ceiling, laying down green AstroTurf & filling Easter baskets with 1,000 eggs.
For the past 3 weeks, I have been hunting (ironic choice of word there) for the best Easter Bunny costume at the best price and aha! I found one on ebay! Clicked, ordered, paid, shipped.
Well, my ebay "Easter Bunny" package arrived today, just in time for me to steam out the wrinkles and make any necessary changes.
These are the days that make me love my job.... when I can run down our hallway, large bag in hand, singing "Here comes Peter Cotton Tail, hopping down the bunny trail.."!
My anticipation as I'm opening the package is overwhelming (I get really excited over this kind of stuff), as I'm tossing packaging paper left and right with my entire Mayfaire staff watching. Finally, I'm down to the last part, opening up the black bag and..... "green?". "Hm, I don't remember this costume having any green parts".
My entire mood went from ecstatic to pissed off! They sent me a green turtle costume!!!!! Oh my goodness, I have no idea what to do right now, except for... take a photo of myself in the green turtle costume of course! Who wouldn't do that, right?
Yes, my mood switched right back to happy again as I was pulling the turtle body suit over my work clothes. Did I mention I was laughing hysterically? Well, so much so that tears were coming down from both my eyes and my boss' eyes. This was too funny. Before it was even lunch time, we had 3 official turtles in the office: Me, Sue & Melody.
Several phone calls and emails later to the ebay company, I just received word that I had a second tracking number (package) on the way. "Must be the Easter Bunny" they said.
Now this is even more ironic.... ever heard of Tortoise and the Hare...?
The turtle always wins! haha
Well, for now I have a turtle suit, so, if you want your photo taken with the most adorable turtle in town, COME TO MAYFAIRE!
"Here comes Peter hard back shell, crawling down the turtle trail.."
