more love for people

On my way home on Friday, a woman in a dark green car cut me off. I was going straight through a green light; when I got to the middle of the intersection.. this woman suddenly decided she was going to go left in front of me. I slammed on my brakes and the car behind me almost hit me. The woman in the dark green car flipped me off as she sped on her way. So.. ya, that's a new one.

no artic mocha today?

Last week I went to Cosi for lunch. I looked at the menu for a minute on the way in- but why? I always order the same thing. A woman in the back called hello to me- they are so friendly there. 

I decided to try a raspberry mojito lemonade and I went up to the register to order. "No arctic mocha today?" she asked. She completely caught me off guard and I was a little embarrassed. Do I go to Cosi that often?? I laughed a little and said "naw".

parrot walking

Last week I saw a man and woman taking their parrot for a walk- I almost ran off the road.

The parrot was sitting on the man's right shoulder and flapping its wings all around enjoying the sun and breeze. If I hadn't had my daughter with me, I might have stopped to take a picture. Oh well, maybe next time.

how did you find this blog?

I think having a counter on one's blog is kind cool. What's even cooler though is if the counter company you are using can give you all sorts of other info too. For instance, the one I use tells me about the search terms that brought visitors to my site. 

I wrote a about how I came to know The Ting Tings not through the radio, Apple advertising, etc, but through watching Yo Gabba Gabba with Daughter. I called it something like "how to promote your band".. well many people were probably disappointed that they didn't learn anything about promoting their fledging bands by reading my blog.

There was "Animated Tazmanian devil avatars"- and before right now I have not ever used even one of those words in this blog. Ug.. now I'm going to get 100 animated tazmanian devil avatar fans reading my blog. Well, that's alright.. welcome ATDA fans!

The best one that I've seen so far is "do they use skullcandy headphones on ghost hunters". Yes, yes they do.. and that was confirmed for that searcher when I talked about my history of desire for a pair one day. A pair of skull candy headphones that is, not ghost hunters.

I love dunkin donuts. oh wait..

I love Dunkin Donuts. Oh wait.. no I don't. I hadn't really eaten anything yet- I was with Daughter and I knew she wasn't going to let me actually make anything when we got back to the house, so I decided to stop for a very unhealthy bagel sandwich.

Wait wait wait at drive up.

- Would you like to try blah blah blah?

- (ignoring whatever she said) Do you have any onion bagels?

- fsdfloiiusndm onion bagels.

- (sounds like yes?) Can I get an egg and cheese on an onion bagel?

- Blah blah go to the window.

At window. Wait wait.

- What kind of bagel did you want?

- Onion?

- (long pause) With just plain cream cheese?

- No. Egg and cheese.

Different girl comes back to the window. 

- We don't have any onion bagels.

- (You liar!!) Okay, just plain then.

on tuesday

Daughter and I went to Target on Tuesday (surprise).

And even though I left 2 feet of space on the belt between Daughter's diapers and the items of the person in front of me, the cashier still asked the woman if they were hers. She looked at me and Daughter, then back at the cashier and said-"I ain't doing no diapers!"

A) I love the English language

B) could not a simple "no" or "no they are not" have sufficed?
