random dumb shit

This is about a few of the dumb things I did today... So I sit in the car at the Wal-Mart trying to collect my thoughts and what not.  I decide that even though I have on sweats and a hat to cover up my pinned curled hair (A HAT... not one of the satin bonnets... ijs) I needed a lil lipstick.  I put on some and then head out thinking I look a hot mess but the lipstick has redeemed me.  The cute (random) bread dude that I have seen around delivering well BREAD is getting out of his truck and I'm glad I did that lil extra something.  I shop, then leave, look down at my bright green sweet shirt and the big ass red stain. SO DAMN... Here I am knowing I look a hot mess but then see this big ass stain and just start to laugh #becausewhynot !!!

Tonight I am doing some major putzying in the basement.  I step on something wet and think it was water from the laundry.  I look down and nope NOT WATER but a freaking cricket.  I don't know where these bitches come from but ever few years or so I have ALOT and then they die out and then they come back.  I was doing a load and threw 1 sock in the washer. JUST ONE!!  Like who does that!?!?!  And I've been walking around the house with one sock.  Yes my left foot is cold! Yes I have many socks in my sock basket. Why am I doing this to myself?

Back to the good Wal-Mart, some of the cashiers are a little off to me. I thought the dude who is checking me out was talking to himself, but then he says "this time last year I didn't have wheels."  Maybe I'm the off one here cause I said you mean a car?  He said yes!  I said well that is definitely a good thing!!  He said it sure is!  People just want to be heard no matter how minimal or major the thing is.  I want to be heard sometimes too.  Unfortunately I'm feeling really unheard.  I hear myself talking and then I feel ignored.  I might just stop talking all together.

I ran into the Royal farms to get a few wings after a meeting the other day.  It always annoys me when the cashier and the cooks and whoever else works there always seem to be having this conversation and not really too concerned with the customer.  And that was the case this night.  The lil cashier looked like it was too much for her to touch my money like she had just gotten her nails done but in reality she needed a fill in (yes I am petty).  She is talking to one of the cook guys and that are basically yelling back and forth to each other. There really weren't many people in the store so it wasn't too much of a big deal, but then you also had the dude at the other cash register who couldn't figure out something for the dude who wanted to get gas at one of the pumps.  my number was called pretty fast, I got my wings and was putting my card into my purse when the lil boy who called my number and is now finished with me say "yeah cause all my relationships are like (the movie) Baby Boy"  I look up, catch his eye,  and I say "OH I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!!" They laugh and then I leave.  BUT I HAZ QUESTIONS!!!  What the heck did he mean?  Does he live with his mother? Does he have multiple baby mamas?  Does he do his main baby mama bad? He at least has a job at the good RoFo so maybe he doesn't drop his baby mama off and take the car.  I just had  and still have questions about the whole thing.

Yes ma'am with the bad teeth and even worse hairdo I AM looking at your man cause he is fine as hell.  Yes I see you both in the spice aisle, the bread aisle and now YEP I'm standing behind you in line cause I want to continue to look at him.  In these cases I always thing that's not really her man, it's probably her brother or cousin or something.  I was being so blatant it's a shame!!!  And then I think well maybe if I knock a few teeth out I too could have a man who looks like that!!! I was so busy looking at her teeth though I didn't get a chance (even though I was looking pretty hard) to check out his teeth situation.  So you know maybe that's why they are together.

It feels like I have been to the store 50 times in 3 days.  Thanksgiving is on Thursday and it is Tuesday.  I stood at the fresh turkey bin and had a discussion with a woman about the difference between fresh and frozen.  I concluded that it is already Tuesday you really don't have enough time to thaw it out.  Well unless you do it in the sink or something but 'they' say that is not the safest way.  I'm sure people have died over the years I just don't know any personally who thawed out a turkey or chicken and then got salmonella.   Anyway so as not to drive myself crazy, I got a fresh turkey. 

I'm doing a challenge that I really hope I can stick to, and that's the 'eat what I have' challenge.  The thought is that I should have enough food in the house to eat without having to go out to eat.  I have cleaned out my freezer pretty good so good that I didn't have any frozen veggies so I got a few the other day.  I tend not to buy so much meat because, well the roommate is so dang particular!!! I have several bags of frozen fruit from back when I was all in with the green smoothie challenge.  And I have a lot of cans of food.  I shop like there is going to be a zombie apocalypse sometimes. It's easy to just run out and grab something and forget (or ignore) that I have food in the house! McDonald's and Taco Bell are right around the corner. The McPick is $2.50 and a sweet tea is a buck so for just under 4 bucks I can have something that resembles a meal. But I need to do better and that is the goal for the rest of the year.  I know I will need some exceptions, like milk, bread, and bananas, but I think this is doable!
