sisabetIt snowed last night and the temp is somewhere in the teens currently (and I am speaking Fahrenheit. I apologize to ya'll Celsius users. I know C is all regulated and I consider it metric even if it isn't, but I also reject the metric system for being to consistent. It lacks poetry. I want chaos with my units of measurement. Give me miles and pounds!) and it is cold. I am trying to call the boy at home to get his father's phone number so I can confirm that the roads are not that bad where he is and we are still meeting to switch off the kid in Bardstown tonight. The boy had a snow day and Will. Not. Answer. The. Phone.
Bah!
So I went to the mall during lunch and Lazurus is having their end of season 70% off sale which is all kinds of goodness and I scored a club top and a nice sweater and some cords that fit for very little moola and that was nice. I kept thinking "Oh! I'll wear this sweater on the drive to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tzikeh's and I'll wear these cords when we watch "Invisible Man" and I really need to get some "Wild, Wild West" watching yoga pants. Or perhaps do laundry. Yes. At this point if I do laundry it will be like a whole new wardrobe.
So when is too soon to pack?
Oh, yeah - while I was at the mall and walking back to the department store where I parked from the food court, this bald guy in an overcoat caught my attention. Well - actually, the way he walked first caught my attention - the boy swaggered with a dash of strut. I was taken aback for a second. When I mean taken aback - I mean very, extremely, visually startled. I jumped and my head swiveled and I am just happy I did not gasp. I gaped, but no gasping. In my defense it was only for a second and it is not like I really and truly thought Lex Luthor was at the Fayette Mall. I'm just on a Lex overload now and this was a bald white guy in an overcoat walkin' all Lex-like. The goatee should have probably been an immediate give-away, but remember, I have really bad eyesight.
I think this story is pointless except it is a reminder to me that I am not smooth. I am not even in the same family as smooth. I have never been smooth and I will never be smooth and sometimes I forget that and start to think I am Rico Suave. I give everything away on my face and I tend to be very gulliable as well. Dawn tried to break me of that habit by lying to me constantly as children and I always believed her. It still freaks me out that Evil Knevil did *not* die jumping over the Grand Canyon. I am also easily influenced and will tend to do as told. This is also from an early age - remember slime? The green stuff that was all sticky? It doesn't come out of hair that easy. I'm just sayin. Not that I would know or that I would actually dump that stuff on my own hair just cause Dawn and our uncle told me that I should. Shut up. I was four and it took forever to get that shit out. Oh, something else I know as a result of Dawn's influence: mud tastes bad. I don't care what you *call* it - it tastes bad. And Flintstone Vitamins are not candy, no matter what Dawn tells you and how many she gives you (just waiting to see what would happen. I was her guinea pig, except she actually had a guinea pig and he got off easy). She had me convinced there was actually going to be a Spander dimension on one of the last season 7 BTVS episodes. I was crushed.
Y'know, as believing as I can usually be, I still didn't fall for Amway. Good to know even I have limits.
Bah!
