Well I am no "Miss Manners" but please...

First of all, I would like to thank each and every one of you who is reading my meager little blog!
Even if you aren't specifically "following me", it means the world to me that you are out there anonymously reading what I write and for those actually following me, it is a blessing!  I am so thrilled to have you share this with me!

So today I went to lululemon!  Yes I hear the groans of all you anti-lululemoners but we all have our vices and this is mine!  I tried to tell myself I was going simply because I had to take back some pants of my mother's to be hemmed but really that was just the catalyst.  I had gift certificates and they were burning a hole in my wallet! (Thanks Dad and Momma Mullock for helping me carry out my addiction in great form!) :)

So besides a few times a week such as Thursday nights, it is usually always busy with over anxious shoppers vying for the best deal or the dwindling items of apparel.  Crap now I have told you Thursday nights aren't that busy, I guess I shall see you there!  So today was my last day before I head back to the J-O-B so I figured, well it is a good of a time as any.  So I get there, it is of course super busy but again, I expected that.  I tried on some things, they fit but weren't right for me but in the end, I settled on a few items, as I always do! :)  So I am in line which has shortened considerably since I went in so that was a plus.  I am at the the front of the line, the girl in front of me had just gone to an open register.  I was on the cusp of freeing myself from the gaggle of shoppers when out of no where, this lady with her red matching shoes and jackets simply says, thank you.  At first I thought, for what?  What happens next left my mouth agape.  She said her brief thank you and strolled up to the next available cash register.  Like OMG, WTF?  I stood there and it took me a while to come to terms with, okay she literally just strolled into line and took my spot out of no where.  Her items were three headbands.  Did she think because her items were smaller in size that it would be faster?  I had three items but because of the size of my items, I should be made to wait?  Another shopper actually said to me, did she just cut in line in front of you?  I said, still in shock, yes and she said thank you but I am just not sure for what!!!

Was she thanking me for not flipping out on her ass and beating her with her matching red shoes?  I do not always have perfect manners but I like to think I am mostly polite, say please and thank you, respect those around me and I certainly would never cut in line but try to "thank" my way out of a beat down!

But now I digress!

With my day I also joined a few other blogs, trying to get some exposure!  I want people to enjoy my blog and I somehow also want people I do not know to enjoy my blog.  One has to wonder, do people like my blog because they know me or do they genuinely like it as well?  It is hard to ask someone this when they know you!?  I also did some research on writing a novel, what to do to find a publisher, what others have done to be successful, etc.  First and foremost I must get to writing so I am pumped!

It is also the eve of my cleanse!  My posts from here on out might be filled with anger and crankiness so please, don't leave me in my time of need! haha  The man at the grocery store behind me in line was like, um that is a lot of lemons!  I tried to explain they were for a cleanse, he was foreign and had no idea what I was talking about which made it seem all the more foolish to be buying so many lemons.  I discreetly put them in my shopping bags and dashed home!  I know there are a lot of people who feel this won't be healthy and who are against it and well, that is totally cool.  I look at it this way, it is 10 days of my life.  I am not doing it for weight loss, I want to see if I can actually detox my body after the December slide into junk food hell.  If I cannot do it I will stop and if I succeed at doing it but see no benefits, I of course will not do it again!  I feel this is all very simplistic.  I do not do long term things to harm myself such as smoke or drink excessively so it's going to be okay!  I am actually looking forward to seeing what happens.  I don't consider myself a stubborn person but when it comes to fitness/health, I like to prove stuff to myself so it shall be interesting!

Just sit back and enjoy the ride as you eat your three squares a day and I shall try my best to entertain you with my tales from the hungry crypt!

Until next time..xx
