oh dear lord...

I was just helping an older black gentleman(OBG) at work. We had the following conversation.



OBG: "You have any babies?"

Me: "Uhh...no."

OBG: "I know it's rude to ask a lady, but how old are ya?"

Me: (laughing) "Thirty"

OBG: "What?!?!? Thirty and no babies?!? How'd ya manage that???"

Me: "Quite easily really..."

OBG: "Don't ya have a man?"

Me: "No, but thanks for asking"

OBG: "Well why dontcha??"

Me: "I don't know...haven't found the right one yet I guess."

OBG: "Do ya go to church?"

Me: "Yes, I go to Living Light."

OBG: "Well good for you! You don't want any ole guy anyways, you wanna man, ya know? Ya know the difference dontcha? Any ole guy will just do what he wants with ya, but a man, a man will love ya and cherish ya and take care of ya. That's what you want."

Me: "Yes sir, that is what I want."

OBG: "Well then, you just keep on lovin' on Jesus ya hear? The Bible says 'A man who finds a wife finds a good thing', but it don't say nothin' about a woman findin' a man. That's because woman's supposta be lovin' on Jesus with all they's heart and then a man will find her and it will be a good thing."

Me: "huh...I never thought of it that way."

OBG: "well you have a good day now ya hear, and have a great 4th of July!"

Me: "You too, thank you."

A Funny Thing Happened to me at the Grocery Store

So last night I went to dinner at Lisa’s and hung out with her for the evening (John was working til 10:30).



She asked me if I could pick up some chicken breasts and cumin since she doesn’t have a car and she needed them for what she was making. So I got off of work at 6:15ish, went home and changed and went to Pick ‘N Save.



I get the cumin and go to get the chicken breasts. There is a very good looking man also looking at the chicken breasts. I notice he’s not wearing a ring. I’m going back and forth debating the best purchase. Lisa said she needed about 4 chix breasts. There are only packages of 3 or 6. As I’m pricing them, I notice he’s doing the exact same thing. We sort of smile and say hi, as you do when someone is standing next to you looking at the same packages of chicken you are. He picks up the 3 pack, I pick up the 6 pack. Again we sort of smile and I say, “You know, the 3 pack is $6.49 and the 6 pack is only $8.04. Chicken freezes really well, it’s only a buck fifty more for 3 more pieces. This is the better deal if you’re interested.” He smiles and says, “You’re right, I’ll go with one of those packs as well. Thanks!” I just say “Sure!” and go about my shopping.

I look at the shampoo because I almost need some, but decide against buying it there because it’s way cheaper at Walmart. I go to the liquor department to buy a bottle of wine to have with dinner. Cute Guy is in the liquor department too. He smiles and says “Hi”, I laugh and say “Hello again”. Whatev…I pick out a bottle and get in line. He is in line right behind me. So there we are, standing in the same line with our family packs of chicken, me with wine, him with a 6 pack. We’re small talking about our chicken and alcohol. After I’m checked out, I’m bagging my few items. He finishes checking out and doesn’t bag his. We end up walking out at the same time. We’re both sort of looking at each other and laughing about our weird shopping experience. Turns out he was literally parked in the spot RIGHT NEXT to me. Again we just laugh, get in our cars and drive off.



I swear if I wasn’t a Christian I would have said, “Do you believe in fate? How about you just come over and have a drink while I cook us some chicken?”



I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!! These things don't just happen, do they???

LOVE THESE!!!

These clogs are GORGEOUS!!! I would love a pair.

The only problem is deciding which ones...my favorites are Kaleidoscope and Woodstock.

I think I'm going to start saving up for a pair!
