i can’t talk to boys in public
we went out to dinner in the mall the other night. it was a super rainy night, so i was looking oh so hot *read with sarcasm galore* in my wellies and rain coat with umbrella dangling from my wrist. after dinner we dropped into the sports store on the way to the car. M went off in one direction with a kiss and an “i’ll meet you over there in a minute”. i went off to look at the clearance racks in the girls’ area. on the first rack i went to i found a cute green tee for $7.99. i grabbed it since i needed more workout shirts now that i have a pilates class and am getting into shape and all. so then i’m just putzing around looking at everything with a sale tag. when a guy walks by to open the dressing room for someone and glances down at my boots. in my head he’s totally mocking my wellies. then he unlocks the doors and says “i like your boots”. completely surprised i said “oh. well… thank you. i like them too.” then i smiled and continued my browsing. he says “where did you get them?” after staring at them for 45 seconds i said “marshalls” (which is a lie, because i realized later it was tj maxx). then he introduces himself. in my head i silently freaked out. i introduced myself but really wanted to run away screaming. he began some small talk about “so, is this what you do on friday nights?” and suddenly i couldn’t make eye contact. i couldn’t keep a conversation going. i didn’t know what is wrong with me. i’m so worried that when a guy talks to me that he’s flirting with me. and i’m so afraid of people flirting with me, especially when M is around. i drifted out of the conversation in a panickednot so casual manner, hung the green shirt back on the rack and took off at full speed to find M. i told him about it after we got into the car. he laughed. but i’m still worried because i’m not sure what about talking to guys freaks me out now. i used to be super-confident around guys, especially when i was in a relationship. i used to love having guys interested in me. i have no idea what’s up now.
M’s grill cover debacle
this weekend was a success. no grill cover was purchased by M. when we walked through Lowe’s he stopped at the grill covers and i had a mini panic attack about how i was going to thwart the purchase. tell him to walk away then hide them all inside of the grills? fake a seizure? no need, luckily he kept walking. i didn’t even have to drop a single hint.
birthdays!
i’ve got two stacks of gifts wrapped in my living room. one if for my sister that my mom is going to need to take back with her. the other is M’s. i’m so excited about his birthday tomorrow! i’ve tried to talk him into opening his gifts for a week. thank goodness he’s better at resisting surprises than i am. i’m so excited!!
the dew
since i no longer drink at least one mt dew a day, heck i’m pretty much down to less than one a week, i can’t handle them. i do crave them when i’m at M’s though. and i’ll chug one. then i’m giddy like a 7 year old goofing off and acting up. and then i can’t sleep. i was staring at the ceiling for 2 hours the other night. granted i had 2 dews that night. but still, i used to be able to drink it all day and sleep as soon as i hit the pillow.
vzw
i finally gave in and took the upgrade for my phone. it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but i like really tiny, light weight phones, and they cram so many options into them now that no one makes them. so i looked at my options online. then went to the store to touch and play with each and every one. i came home and placed my order. it shipped and should be here in 2-3days. now i just hope that when the delivery guy comes he actually walks up the stairs to my front door to get my signature and doesn’t just stand in the foyer, look around, and then decide to leave a note saying that no one was home so i don’t get my package.
use more soap
living alone i go through alot less stuff. it sounds great because i spend less money, right? for me it’s not cool because i like to change things out every so often. so the fact that i’ve had the same pump soap in my bathroom for over a year bothers me. it smells great, i think it’s fresh cotton or something. and i love it, but seriously? i’m ready for a new scent. since i have a current stock on b&bw soaps last night i said screw it! i threw out the 1/3 bottle of cotton smelling soap that was left. now i have cherry blossom. love it! but if it sits around too long, i’ll chuck 1/3 bottle of that too.
nkotb
i keep hearing reunion. no reunion. reunion. no reunion. which is it? i didn’t get to see the spice girls when they came around but i’ll be damned if i’m going to miss nkotb too. it would be so much fun to go back home and see them with S. so many memories!
edits
does anyone know the ins and outs of wordpress?lspoon? you’re the wordpress genius, right? anyway, i logged in the other day and it said about 7 of my posts had been edited. but i hadn’t edited them. i hadn’t even logged in for 2 days. what does that mean? how does that happen? i wanted to ask support but they’re temporarily on vacation, or something. is someone else able to edit my posts?
