That being said -- Happy New Year, Merry Chrismas, and all that Jazz. I have LOTS to talk about. But I'm pretty sure I'll skip most of it and go straight to what I feel like talking about today, which is how big of a dork chop I was at work today. I'm at the shoe store right. And it's one of those days, those 'everyone is pissing me off I'd rather be in Bahgdad with my tongue stuck to a flag pole, please give me botulism so I can go home' days. I was totally growly and inappropriatly rude, which I'm sure Karmacly caused what happened. I'm in the back room, and storm out front yelling obsinities at Iryn just to make her cry, when I look up and am faced with one of the most handsome men I've ever come across. This guy was definatly NOT my typical guy. No tattoos, long hair, or misogonystic attitude to be seen. He was a mature, suit wearing, smile sparkling, tall drink of merlot. He asks for a shoe in a way that in four years of selling shoes I have NO way to describe. I went in the back and had to lean against the wall and catch my breath this guy had charmed me straight out of my senses! Well, we don't have his size (big freakin surprise) so I retreat back out holding the shoe, explaining that "I'm really sorry, but I jump from an 11 to a 13".
He adoringly smiles, and thanks me 'very much' for checking. Then he reaches out his hand. Oh how perfectly gentleman is that! He's a real man. A real, just like on TV, I'm going to make a move, I like this girl and I'm going to ask her out' M-A-N Man!!! I was thrilled!
So I outstretch my right hand toward his, waiting anxiously to see what happens next in this fairy tale moment. And then --- then --- he grabbed for the shoe in my left hand and told me he'd put that back for me.
Wow did I feel like an idiot. And I am. A big one.
The Bachelorette. I can't deal with it. Am I just way too picky or are these supposed great guys she 'gets' to pick from not that good looking? The one guy (Greg/Craig I couldn�t tell Trista mumbles) was quasi-attractive, and then there was the surfer dude with good hair but that was it. You know what the next reality show should be -- Ohmygosh I�m a genius! I think there should be Celebrity Bachelorette, starring ME. Ok yeah I know I�m not a celebrity, but all the dudes COULD be! This is brilliant! Here�s who my bachelors would be : Jimmy Fallon, Ashton Kutcher, Dave Matthews, Dave Grohl, the guy who plays Trey on All My Children, Jared Leto, David Letterman, Ty from Trading Spaces, and many many more � but of course there would be no contest, as my Jimmy Fallon would be the winner since we are in fact soul mates!
In an unrelated, but very important topic, I'd like to remember my Grandma today, on what would be her 82nd birthday. I can never explain how I was blessed with such a strong woman as a grandma and best friend, but I'm sure she knows now, and will explain it to me when we meet again.
