Pain in the...nose

My nose is stuffed, my head feels like a balloon. And yet I'm sitting here watching Brad play "wheelbarrow" with poor little browns. She howls-so does my head...

We're going to try round 2 for Motion City this April. Last month didn't go so well. Poor Brad got drugged. So, this time I will pretend to be him and he will pretend to be me and hopefully nothing bad will happen and no one will mistake his glass for mine.

My musing for the day is quite hilarious. A man came into work today...he walked all around the juniors section of clothing; chose two pairs of pants (womens) and asked for a dressing room. Naturally I was suspicious. I assumed he was stealing.

Now, i forgot to tell you that this man looked like he just stepped off a yacht-he was gorgeous-not feminine gorgeous-rugby playing, all american kind of gorgeous.

So, when he asked for a fitting room, I called security. After a while he popped out of the fitting room...wearing the black leather (womens) pants...and forst asked if we hard any other styles of this particular pant, and then asked what type of shoe I thought went best with this type of pant. (WTF?)

Naturally I was quite taken aback. I tried my hardest to keep eye contact...the whole time screaming in my mind-I can see your package!!! It's hanging to the left!!! AAAAAWWWWWW!!! GROSSSS!!

He didn't buy either pair of (womens) pants he tried on, and left the store shortly thereafter. So, my little lesson in all of this is that looks can be deceiving and that is what I get for assuming this man was up to no good. I need to stop judging people based on their looks, the way they act, and all of the other things about people that we as humans automatically judge other humans on.

Signs

I believe that there are little signs all around us. I believe in Karma, and that everything happens for a reason. I believe in the saying 'what goes around comes around' and that hate can be a curved blade-hurting others like you want it to, but hurting you as well.

It's funny that there are so many little signs all around us and we hardly acknowledge them; don't give them a second thought. Today I had somewhere to be, somewhere that I was second guessing for personal reasons, the terrible weather, and just not wanting to settle for less than what I deserve. The answer to my worries was all around me in the form of little signs.

The first sign was not being able to sleep last night. Despite a full day yesterday as well as an athletic evening, I was awake all night. This morning, on my way home from the gym I took a corner a little fast and careened into a snowbank. (Sign number 2)Some rather nice gentlemen helped me and I was on my way home in no time. After rushing to get ready and be out the door, (sign number 3 approaching) my car yet again became lodged in the snow, tires spinning on the glare ice.

So, with all signs pointing to making my day a total disaster, I listened...finally. And after much crying (because of frustration I assure you) here I am at home playing real housewife of Wisconsin.

Ok God, Ok Signs, OK Karma, I hear all of you-I understand-I'm listening. Finally.
