I only wish you would've leaned in eve...LOL!!! I only wish you would've leaned in even closer, deeply sniffed in her hair, and said, "Do you use Herbal Essences?", and then gave an obscene shudder of delight. <br /><br />Please, please, PLEASE tell me that the next time you go in there, you scream "Pixie Stix! I need Pixie Stix RIGHT NOW OR I'M JUST GOING TO LOSE IT!!!!!!!" Feel free to substitute 'ham hocks' in place of 'Pixie Stix', or anything else that strikes your fancy at the moment.<br /><br />In all seriousness, though.... I really do miss the small-town familiarity that can be found anywhere in Idaho. Here, I never know anyone when I go to the store/pharmacy/ANYWHERE. Living in a large metro area, whenever I try to smile and make polite small talk with cashiers, clerks, or other workers or passers-by, they inevitably have one of three unappealing responses: 1.) They meet my cordial conversation with complete silence and the lifeless, black-eyed stare of a shark, totally ignoring that I communicated with them whatsoever, 2.) They cower from me with terror in their eyes, like they're certain I'm going to wait for them in the parking lot until after their shift to mug/rape/kill/or otherwise maim them, or 3.) They grin a sinister, beady-eyed, pointy-toothed, scheming grin, and reply with a chilling answer and wink that makes ME certain they're going to be waiting for me in the parking lot later to mug/rape/kill/or otherwise maim me.Cristina Lejardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117761231195580718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003244040444735851.post-10039586658769001442009-08-04T14:53:25.709-06:002009-08-04T14:53:25.709-06:00VERY BLOGWORTHY!!!
