Even the simple job of getting birthday cards ahead of time will turn into a quick stop before work at the local drug store to pick up a card the day of a co-worker\u2019s birthday. But after witnessing someone else\u2019s last minute behavior recently, I feel a lot better about my own last minute doings. And it has also prompted me to purchase a box of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/product\/birthday-assortment-1-701851\/\">assorted birthday cards<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>I recently stopped one night at a local drug store chain after work. I pulled into a spot in the parking lot and noticed a young woman sitting in her car, with the interior light on, obviously doing something in the unoccupied passenger seat next to her. I got out of my car, looked in to her car and saw a sight that has kept me chuckling ever since. This woman was bent over a graham cracker pie shell, scooping chocolate pudding out of small pudding snack cups with a white plastic spoon, into the pie shell. An aerosol can of whipped cream sat next to the pie shell awaiting it\u2019s turn in the creation of this pie. The woman was making a graham cracker pudding pie probably for someone\u2019s birthday she would be attending within the next few minutes! She did not look up from her \u201cbaking\u201d task or otherwise she would have seen me smiling and looking in at her. I thought to myself, \u201cThat really takes the cake!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I still get a smile on my face when I think about this procrastinating pie maker sitting in the parking lot. But now I have a supply of personalized birthday cards on hand as well as an empty graham cracker pie shell, pudding mix and a can of aerosol whipped cream in my kitchen at home\u2026just in case. I don\u2019t ever want to get caught making a pie in my car on the way to someone\u2019s birthday party!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I have always been the world\u2019s biggest procrastinator, justifying all my last minute responsibilities by saying that I&hellip;","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1297,31,1292],"tags":[39,121],"class_list":["post-3671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-birthday-inspiration","category-business-birthday-cards","category-occasions-and-celebrations","tag-assorted-birthday-cards","tag-personalized-birthday-cards","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Take The Cake With Assorted Birthday Cards - Business Greeting Card Blogs &amp;
