Shopping last night!!
Oct. 31st, 2001 04:30 pmThat was fun. See, I'm in a little town, with *maybe* 5,000 people (could be slightly more), 12 churches and a WalMart. Yes, that is what makes Creston *The Town* around here, is WalMart.
Anyway, went with GranJo to pick stuff up. Was dressed up in my usual attire/halloween costume (I forgot the bracelets, chains and leash). Anyway, on the way there, GranJo asked me why I wore that stuff. I told her it was because of the looks I get. She kinda gave me this *look* and dropped the subject.
(Off note, incase I haven't said it before, my Grandmother rocks. She is a certified CNA and CMA. She does home care for one elderly lady, *and* works in the Geriatric section of the psych ward at the local hospital. On top of that, she has my two uncles who are legally blind/completely deaf-mute. She also takes one Saturday a month to help out with the state Deaf-Mute meetings. Oh, and she spoils me when I get in my moods. She's usually the only one who can get me out of them.)
Anyway, we're walking through the store, getting X-mas gifts for the rest of the family, and we go cruising through the womens section so I can point out to her what I like. (Yes, I usually know what I'm getting for christmas, but on the upside, she can usually look at what I picked out, and get something really cool to go with it.) She wandered over to look at some shirts and then comes back with this pair of jeans, asking me what I thought of them. Blue hip huggers with silver studs down the sides and lining the front pockets. I told her they looked cool, she drops them in the cart.
Okay, I was surprised at this. I told her in the beginning, when she asked me if I wanted anything, that the only thing I wanted to get was some ponytail holders. She ends up buying me jeans. And a new CD walkman. ( She was pointing to an $80 Sony one, I grabbed the $20 Lenox one instead. It was bought because I was bitching about having to replace CDs on the way up here.)
Okay, I've gotten waaaaaaaaay off topic. Back to the story. We were in the Electronics section, getting her a new CD (You can never have too much Elvis *gag*) and I was looking at CD players. She kinda pokes me in the arm and gestures toward the other side of the CD racks, where a couple of guys (somewhere between 17 and 20, which doesn't surprise me, 'cause most people guess my age at between 16-19) were staring. Not just staring, but wide-better watch so the eyeballs don't fall out-staring. She figured it out. *g* She thought it was hilarious.
After that, to the book section, where she let me get the first three HP books (paperback) which is what I was aiming for to begin with. (We both said no on the 4th, it's still only in Hardback.) Then back to scare the kiddies.
You know, if I didn't hate this town so much, I would move back. :/
