Invitational Reinforcement

Not been too much going on here as of late. Just been really busy with the wedding and other stuff. Doesn’t make for much of a blog if there’s nothing to read, right?

So on Sunday, we’re putting together our wedding invitations. I’ve just printed out the directions and start to fold them to put in the envelope when I notice I’ve made a mistake (let’s just say you can’t reinforce an enforcement). So I go to print out seventy more directions when after about 22 of them, my black ink runs out!

Now, eight o’clock on a Sunday evening…not exactly prime printer-ink-buying time.

Luckily the local Target is open so I head up there with our friend, Mike, who had come over with his wife, Laura, to help us with the invitations. We head over to the ink section, scan the aisle, and there seems to be plenty of ink for every printer imaginable…except mine. Every rack is ten deep with inks except the black ink for my Canon printer.

Inconceivable! :angry:

The Target girl checks in the back and nothing. So, reluctantly, we trek over to the ghetto Kmart, which is surprisingly still in business. It’s the only place where they actually have printer ink in a locked cabinet. I guess they’re a really hot item on the black market.

But the ghetto Kmart actually comes through. They have the black ink for my printer! We get it, speed home, print off the remaining directions, and finish putting the invitations together. Unfortunately, Monica had already sealed two of the invitations with the directions that included my faux pas. So, to Danny and Scott, please ignore my blunder.
