Pikeville, KY
Went to lunch at "Joyce's Diner" a smoke-filled bar that didn't have prices on the stick letter menu board.
Our waitress/cook/hostess/bartender was lovely, lunch not so much. But oh well, our other choices were KFC and "Champs" sports bar (where we went yesterday).
As we stood to pay our bill, I asked the woman,
Me: "So, are you Joyce?"
Her: "No, I'm her daughter... Joyce isn't here anymore"
(Moment of awful silence as I figure out what to say next)
Her: "She had to run to the store. I'm stuck here until 4."

My adorable 1 bedroom apartment
Today I went to give my 60 days notice of moving out to my apartment complex.
Lease Agent: Well, we'll be sad to see you go. Any reason for vacating other than your lease expiring?
Me: You mean besides the 2 floods, snake, and that night without air-conditioning? Nope. Just giving 60 days notice.

The Thrift Store Incident
About a week go, I had one of the most traumatizing experiences of my life during a trip to my local local thrift store.
side note: Oh Savers, my how my Jewish cheapness loves your chatchkeys (I don't know how to spell that) and random-but much needed-crap.
1:15pm Park car in downtown Phoenix lot and worry for its safety, even though my most valuable possession inside it is a NOW 1 CD from 1993.
1:17pm Walk through the front door and give a friendly smile to the prostitute standing outside talking to her "mama" on her cell phone. (I think she's from that show teen mom?)
1:20pm Head to the kitchen section... I may have been in the market for a toaster.
1:23pm I pick up one such toaster and immediately regret this decision, as I remember that my not-so-cheap boyfriend, Josh, would no longer love me if I brought said disgusting toaster home.
1:23 Put toaster down. Wave goodbye to the $3.99 yellow sticker.
1:25pm Walk through back book alley on my way to womens clothes. Don't judge.
1:26pm As I pass by the shoe aisle, I notice there's a strange water spilling noise to my immediate right.
1:27 Stop to observe said spilling noise.
1:28 Gasp in horror when I realize said spilling noise is a man, 35ish, in swimming trunks with a cart, facing the other direction, peeing on the floor, right next to a pair of green flip flops.
1:29 Stare and comprehend.
1:30 Run to find salesperson. Find an 18-year-old Hispanic girl in a red vest. I point out the defendant in the orange shirt, who has just left the shoe aisle and apologize profusely for relaying such disturbing news.
1:31 She says, "Really?!" and then heads to find a mop as if she's had to deal with this before.
1:32 Exit store. Get back in my car and drive away fast. But hey, at least my NOW CD is still here.
1:35 Call my mother to which she responds, "I was the first person you chose to call and tell this story to?"
1:36 Call Josh. Tell him my thrift store addiction has been broken.
2 Days later...
7:00pm Josh and I buy a new toaster oven from macys. He is relieved. I can't see myself walking into another savers for months. Josh smiles.

I'm starting a blog...
For some time now, I've had friends encouraging me to start a blog.
Not so much because of my excellent writing skills, but more so because of my fantastic stories. Yes, thats right, I have awesome adventures.
Now, you might be thinking, what kind of adventures? Is she brave? Does she take risks?
Oh, no no, no. These adventures are not self-imposed. They just happen to me.
I attract the awkward.
I attract the random.
I attract the painful.
But even when the worst occurs, I'm there with a smile. Why?
Because I know it'll make for a great story:)
