Who knew?



I start work again tomorrow. So, I went shopping today to celebrate. The limited had a sale; that was fun. I stood in line for 30 minutes. In front of me, a lady had her son. He was in a stroller and he kept pulling dollar bills out of his pocket. They were all crumpled up, and he would start crying when he looked at them. He'd hand them to his mom, and she would unfold them and give them back to him. He couldn't figure out how to change the state of a folded dollar bill! It was great. While his mom went to work on his dollars, meanwhile holding a stack of super cheap clothes under her arm, he would kick his little Timberland-ed feet up and hug himself. There was serious suspense. Would his dollars be OK?



I also hit the OH-SO semi annual sale at victoria's secret. There's just nothing like digging up to your elbows through bins of underpants with strangers. I stood in line there for another 3o minutes. This time a grown-up version of entertainment. This guy was talking to the whole crowd of women in a loud voice about how this girl beat him up.

"I was all sitting downtown at Sharkey's having a drink, and bam! this girl knocked me across the head."

"Wow!" I thought, "That must've sucked."

"Yea," he continued unfortunately, "She said she was pregnant with my kid. Nah, it wasn't mine, she was with this other guy, we stopped having sex 12 weeks ago!" He continued to exclaim similar statements, eventually rounding it all up with, "It was that other guy's kid."



Oh brother.



This comes AFTER a mom and daughter pair were behind me talking about how the daughter's husband said, "Go to Vickies (sp????) and just blow some money." So the mom kept bringing over weird lingerie that this daughter would not look good in. The classic line throughout the whole conversation about how to use garter belts was this: Mom says, "You know I can rinestone anything you want later." Does she have a machine to do this with???



People are just a riot.
