This morning as I was eating my ice cream I was struck by an interesting thought. Yes...it was sparked by ice cream. My friend Morgan introduced me to a new flavor created by my true loves Ben & Jerry. It's called peanut butter world. As I was scarfing on my new love I questioned why I was enjoying it so much. Most people are probably thinking, "duh it's ice cream! who wouldn't enjoy it?" well...me. I don't actually love ice cream. I don't hate it but I am really picky about which ice cream I like and don't like. And one thing I don't like is chocolate ice cream. I actually hate chocolate ice cream. This new flavor I love is...Chocolate. go figure. What is the moral of this story? Try new things because you never know what you might be missing out on.
just so we are clear I still prefer frozen yogurt and I still don't like chocolate ice cream. But I do love peanut butter world. The End.

Please, Avert Your Eyes
I love my job. I meet the most interesting people. Sometimes it's great...sometimes it's just...well... interesting. Let me illustrate what I mean.
I was working over in the body store running go backs when I see this guy walking through the store. whenever I see a guy in my store I immediately ask if I can help them with something. Get them what they need and get them out. So this particular guy says, "I just need an opinion from you." So he shows me two different shoes in an Eddy Bauer catalogue and asks which ones I like better. I went through the standard questions, what are you wearing them with? what are they for? He told me to just pick. So I gave him my opinion- assuming it was maybe something he had to do for school. But to my surprise (sort of) he didn't leave. He kept talking to me. Asking me if I was in school, what was my major? Then he goes off on a creepy tangent about diverting his eyes and about his experience in Victoria's Secret last week (umm...you do this on a regular basis?) and how he had no idea that bras came in so many styles and colors. Guess you aren't so good at averting your eyes after all. He also tells me he is a massage therapist and hands me his card. Then he dives right in with, "so would you like to have lunch with me sometime? or are you dating someone?"
To which I of course lied. "yes I am dating someone".
Thinking this was the quickest way to get him to just go away. But it wasn't. I should have known. He then says, "well are you engaged?"
"No, it's not that serious."
"well then would you get a Jamba juice with me?"
"I just told you I was dating someone."
" yeah, but you said it wasn't serious."
Wow- I'm completely stunned at this point. He continued to push for another few minutes. Telling me about country dancing down at BYU. He finally gave up saying that he is really good at reading body language and that he can feel if he pushes any more I am going to freak out. News flash buddy I was already freaking out... you just couldn't tell because I had my work face on. He was talking to me for about 15 minutes and I wish I could remember more of the details...it was priceless really. I guess the point of this post is to reassure the public that I haven't lost my touch for attracting creepers. I have had more than my fair share. So even though my posts have been few and far between lately...I think the wait was worth it. Dear Lingerie loser...please never come into my store again.
