I hope you all enjoyed this new feature as much as I did! Your wild imaginations made for a great story line! To read the completed tale you all helped create,
"I am sorry to cancel on you on such short notice, but I finally caught the bug that's been going around." How Convenient. Here we go again!
"...please have a seat." I sat down in the cold metal chair and clutched my purse. My stomach was knots. "So you know why I had to call you in today. Please tell me about the last conversation you had with your husband..."
As soon she said that to me, my hands started to sweat. "Um your husband? Why would you imagine that I need to talk to your husband; we haven't talked since that incident with the dog, remember?"
She looked at me, visibly puzzled. "My husband?" she said, "What does HE have to do with this? And why did you bring up the dog incident? I thought we could bury that."
"We DID bury that in the backyard together, remember? Along with the two pounds of tomatoes? That's why this session is free."
I began to sob just thinking about it, and she said, "Good just let it all out." I realized she did remember the incident, but she also knew that I wasn't over it. There were some things I still needed to get off my chest, and it's never healthy to hold things in. So I said,"I'll never forgive your husband's poodle for ruining my prize tomatoes. Now I'll never be able to make my Grandmother's homemade sauce."
"I need those tomatoes to be able to help my grandmother sell her jars of sauce at the farmers market. It is her only way to help supplement Grandpa's tap dancing habit."
"I'll tell you what," she said. "I know a guy who can get you some organic tomatoes on the cheap. But we're going to have to cut a deal about my hubby's poodle; he's sort of attached to it."
I sighed. "Well I don't have time to talk about this now. I've got an important date tonight and I don't want to be late." I stood up, grabbed my coat, and walked out of the room. On my way out into the parking lot, I noticed a small plant growing right near my car, a small greenish bulb was blooming. "A tomato plant!" I gasped! I was so excited. I started to tear apart the plant looking for any ripe tomatoes when suddenly the security guard walks over and asks "Is this what you were looking?" as he hands me an envelope. "The wind blew it across the parking lot." I looked at the envelope addressed to me. I didn't recognize the handwriting. I tore open the envelope and pulled out the note. It said "Ummm, Maam, you really should be careful in that dress. It looks like you're really after something there so I'll let it slide but actually what are you after?"
"Oh, I just saw this horrid weed here and was trying to get rid of it," I replied as I palmed several of the small prize tomatoes and put them in the pockets of my dress. "Right," he said, rolling his eyes, and turned to walk away. He looked back over his shoulder at me right as I was going back for the plant and said "horrid weeds huh?" And walked away. When I was done collecting all the tomatoes, I got in my car and decided to go shopping. As I stepped out of the car in front of the mall, I put some tissues on the tomatoes to keep it safe and clean. "Now, what did I need? Maybe a nice dress for my date tonight and some shoes... and I definitely needed some new lingerie," I thought to myself. I went straight to the second floor to la Senza and suddenly there was my therapist's husband! But who was he with? Who was the beautiful blond woman? I thought to myself, this day just couldn't get any weirder!
