Ok...so is it me?

Ok, so my cousin Robin and I have had this long running joke about how strangers always seem to say/do weird things around us. I, for one like to say that it's "Robin" as to why these things occur. She, on the other hand puts it back on me! Well, there might just be something to that since I do run into some crazy characters out there! Now before these latest events, strange things only happened to me when Robin and I were together. Of course, they could have been happening all along, and I didn't notice, but that's beside the point! The point is when we were together, it became evident that strangers would be attracted to us. Case in point:

(Flash back)

Robin and I were in Richmond, VA..umm.. several years ago, (we both lived there at different points in our lives...same house too!) and at this particular point, I believe I was visiting her. We stayed up late, laughed, watched movies all the typical things you do when you're just chillin. WELL, at some point we needed to go to the grocery store, yeah, I know...it was late! And what does Whodini say about freaks and late night??? Xactly.

Anyway, we went to the grocery store to buy ice cream and tampons and a few other things. We got to the register at almost midnight and there were a few people in front of us. The man directly in front of us was wanting to buy alcohol and a few other things. Cool. The woman in front of him, had a whole cart full of groceries...and was taking all day. Matter of fact she took so long, that by the time the man with the alcohol got up to ring his groceries, the clock struck 12! He was able to purchase a few items, and at 12, he was not able to purchase his alcohol due to some regulation and mechanical rigging that would not let the register ring up the alcohol! Well, you can imagine that the situation wasn't all that pretty. The man was hot...as I would be, Hello! So Robin and I looked at each other conversing with all kinds of body language over the strange matter. Finally the man gets what he can, and leaves.

Our turn.

 We get up to the register. The clerk (goofy boy) rings up my purchases and puts them in the bag. Originally he put my tampons and my ice cream in the same bag (who cares!!). However, once he saw what he did, he says..."Oh I wouldn't want to put those (tampons) by the ice cream, because I wouldn't want you to put one of those on (tampons) and be like...brrrrr, it's cold!" He shivered and everything!!! Can you believe that?? How can you respond to that??? That's the stuff I'm talking about! It happens all the time! Can you relate?? Or is it JUST me??

Wow...I did it!

Ok...so I've always wondered how this blog stuff worked. Now it's official....I created one!!! Yay! Anyway, I don't even know what to say, but I've never been one to be speechless for long, so I'm sure I'll find my voice. I kinda like having a platform to spout out opinionated chatter, and I definitely have an opinion. So, for now, I'll gather myself together so that I can give you a chance to know more about me!

Cheers!
