Thank you for the hope!
October 18th, 2015 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »I have spent the day writing today, from blogs to memories, with bits of weekend tidy ups thrown in for good measure. With a reluctance that is typical of Sunday, I dressed knowing I had to pick up a few things at the store. It is not unusual that the conversation that me and myself have goes something like this.
“I can just go in my jammies.” ” No you know that if you do you will run into someone you know, or worse than that you see someone you would like to know.” “But I do not want to get dressed, do I have to?” ‘Yes, you don’t want to be known as the lady in her jammies.” “Fine but I am not doing my hair.” “Have you seen your hair? No one out in the world will be convinced you actually brushed your hair today if you go out looking like that.” “Fine I will do my hair. There are you happy now?” “Yes, you look store worthy now. “ “Whatever!”
The store was filled with happy chattering people, though I only needed a few things, lemons, tomatoes, coffee; the visit took over a half hour. I got the lemons and tomatoes after chatting with the produce guy, and headed for the coffee aisle. Standing there immersed in the selection and eventual disappointment that they did not have my coffee in whole beans, I murmured under my breath really? Only to turn slightly to my right and then up, and there he was the reason I had done my hair and not been dressed in my baggy jammies. He looks at me and says “I never know which one to choose?”
Me, choose me! *sigh* Thank you very pretty extremely tall man for the hope, you will be the reason I dress and do my hair the next few Sundays.
