Conversations

Thursdays are our days off at the office. As you can imagine I use this day to get all my errands done and what not! During the year I am THINKING about subbing on my days off to bring in a little extra money (you know I do have a car payment now!) so I am thoroughly enjoying these days this summer.

Today as I was out running around, I heard/was apart of some conversations that I felt the need to share with you!

One of my first stops today happened to be the nail salon. (Anjela Johnson, anyone?!) Go here if you have no idea what I am talking about! Anyway, as I was getting my nails did, I was eavesdropping in on the conversation taking place in the two oh-so-comfy chairs right behind me. Here's how conversation #1 went:

Nail Lady: "How has your summer been?"

Tan Girl with high pitched voice: "It's been really good. I just got back from the Bahamas with my best friend. We were so busy there that we didn't even have time to get a pedicure! We got back yesterday so we immediately came here this morning, because we needed one so bad! And now I'm all stressed today because we are floating the river this weekend and I have no idea what to pack, or what I'm wearing!"

I'm so sorry, precious one, with your cute little Louis Vuitton, that you had no time in the Bahamas with your BFF to get a pedicure. That is a tragedy indeed. Although, I had no idea that the Bahamas could cause such havoc on your feet! Must be tough! Way to be wise and get that taken care of ASAP! And as for the river floating this weekend, no need to stress, most people just pack swimsuits!

So, I know I sound ridiculously mean and judgemental here. But, I promise you I am not. I really just got a kick out of the whole conversation. I'd be lying to you if I said I have never acted like that, or still do act like that! Really, I wish you could have been there to hear it, too. It was quite amusing!

The last stop of my day was at my Kroger store. I had to pick up some items to make Puppy Chow tonight. Maybe you call them Muddy Buddies. Anyway, as I was headed out I realized that I wanted some Clementines, too. So I headed over to the produce section to be apart of conversation #2:

Me: Walking to the produce section with hands full of random items.

Two boys: "Ma'am, we have a random question. Do you know how to pick out a head of lettuce? Could you please show us or help us?"

Me: "I'm so sorry, I honestly have no idea how to do that. If I did I promise I would help you!"

Two boys: "Oh okay, thanks anyway!" (At this point they were on to the next lady and I was tickled!)

Boys, the reason why I have no idea how to pick out a head of lettuce is because I am one of those girls that inevitably buys bagged lettuce every time I need it. Sometimes it's shredded, sometimes it's not. I promise it is much easier that way! But, if you ever figure out how too, would you let me know? Thanks!

On that note, instead of blogging I should be reading about how to pick the best head of lettuce...
