Random Observations

Okay, even I need a break from the heavy stuff. I've worn myself out! :) So I thought I'd share with you some random facts and observations from this week.

* The day you need to polish your nails on the way to work is the day you get ALL the green lights. The day your nails are actually done...you get all the red lights. It's a fact of life.

* My hair is now long enough to put in a ponytail. And by that, I mean it looks like a bird constructed a nest and glued it to the back of my head. This is why I was not selected to be a member of the royal family. None of them would be caught dead with this hair.

* Clogs and escalators are not friends. I nearly had a Kodak moment trying to get from the first floor to the second floor of my friendly J.C. Penney store last night. So on my way down, I got on that thing like an 89 year old woman a week after a hip replacement. I hope the security cameras enjoyed the spectacle.

* Braeya thinks that each time I enter the kitchen, it's time for a treat. And when I burst that bubble, she wails. Such a drama queen. Hmm. Wonder where she got that trait?

* I now own a golf skirt. Bet THAT raised a couple of eyebrows in blogland. I'd tell you more but it's fun to keep you in suspense.

* If the fact that I went golf skirt shopping keeps you in any sort of suspense...we really have to find you something more exciting to do read about. Bless your heart.

* You know that whole "I'm becoming my mother" thing? Uh well, in my case, it seems to be my DAD that I find myself acting like. Case in point: I made about 14 friends with perfect strangers while shopping at Hobby Lobby last night. We were chatting it up like old buddies by the time I left.

* One new friend was the lady behind me in line. We commiserated about our talent for finding the SLOWEST line ever in any store. She said to me, as I got up to my register, "So I guess I really don't want to be behind you right now, huh?" LOL! Well played, new friend!

* The next new friend was the cashier who asked about my project (as she rang up each item). We then bonded over the joy of Pinterest and as she finished wrapping my purchases, my friend from behind me called over from the next lane, "Ha ha! Beat ya!" And my cashier said, "Oh man, I didn't know I was in a race! I would have gone faster!"

* Some tweenager stopped me on my way OUT of the Hobby Lobby to very shyly tell me she likes my purse. Any day I can inspire a tweenager with a zebra striped Mary Poppins bag...is a good day.

* I have a feeling we're just mere days away from when Lynne can't contain herself any longer and tells her latest favorite Bekah-moment...when I (accidentally, I assure you!) pulled out my best Valley Girl voice and said, "I'm TOTALLY going to BUG them." (This is funnier when told in full version...but I'll leave it at that for now so if you hear her tell it, it can be all new for you.)
