grocery store shananigans

So, I have a coupon for General Mills cereal.

I reach down to get the box, pull it out, and they ALL come tumbling out. like they were trying to make a great escape.

grrrrrrrrrrrr. I throw my box into the cart, grumble, growl, cuss under my breath and start re-stacking them like some lone stock boy.

I see some wheels out of the corner of my eye and hear this lady say towards me in a quiet voice, "If that was me, I would just leave them."

I started laughing...looked up and said,

"I might have done that if you hadn't been coming down the aisle."

hahaha

She said," I will gladly glance the other way".

Now that is a way to help a sister out, wouldn't you agree?

ps I picked them up...just so you know.

Conversation with teen son

In kid's room, pilfering with stuff, while he is looking at Pokemon cards...

find a cute lil drawing in a ziplock bag that says, "defense spork"

"hahaha, that's funny, who is this from?"

A girl in Orchestra...

"Do you like her?"

no, not really

"uhhhhh, do you just not like her? or do you not like ....girls ...girls in general"

pause,,,,

"I mean, I don't care, you know me, I just find it easier to adjust my conversation if I know if the conversation is a mute point or not"

I look over, he's laughing quietly....

yeah, Mom, I like girls...just not any at my school.

as I walk out of the room I say,

"cool, whatever, I don't care, if you decide you like boys let me know...just for conversation sake."

He's chuckling, sure mom, will do.

good...

now take the garbage out.

Yarnnnny

I purchased some ICE yarn from Ebay. 2.09 a skein, and it's like the one below but in black.

I got a LOT for 8.99$ then 6$ shipping, I should have bought more, but wasn't sure.

I want to make this

I know, I know....where will I wear such a thing.

But I love it and him and all things Old Skool Punk Rock.

Or maybe I can make this:

awwwww

precious lil stinker.

I wanted to show you guys what I deal with. See these suits...These are the women's suits. Maybe a track suit would better suffice? I don't know, I just want to wear something that doesn't make me look like the over age mom that I am. Is it too much to ask?
