I'm feeling very unmotivated lately. I don't feel like blogging, doing housework, doing laundry, or really anything else for that matter. I'm really not sure what's wrong with me. We have house guests coming this weekend so I need to get a move on. So, I'm going downstairs, putting on some good music, and getting to it! We'll see how that goes.
For your entertainment, my friend Summer's blog and my sister reminded me of two classic lines I've gotten from young, male cashiers at the grocery store on two separate occasions.
I was buying baby food for Little John when we lived in Hurst. I would drive out to Market Street and buy the organic kind so I would stock up for a few weeks when I was there. As the guy was ringing up all those little jars he said, "What do you have, a BABY FARM???" What is a baby farm? What in the world? If you don't want to ring up what I'm buying, get me another cashier.
I was buying quite a few things at the grocery store on another occasion and had a pregnancy test among my items. Obviously you're hoping that one slides on by. Not this time. First, he had to get it back from the bagger because it didn't ring up right. Then, he says (and I'm not kidding), "Would it be too personal to ask you who this is for?" WHAT???!!!! WHY??!!!! What difference does it make to you, Dude?!!!! I calmly answered and then started talking about something else.
PEOPLE. Did your mother never tell you, if you can't think of something good to say, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!

This one REALLY made me laugh!! I'm also so thankful that I'm not alone on the unmotivated train sometimes. I'm sure you'll get bumped off pretty soon . . .always happens. Until then, fake it till you make it, right? (laundry and cleaning . . such a repetitive task . .)
TRUE STORY:
This morning I was working out at the gym and I go at the same time everyday and generally the same people are there also. There is this one really cute lady that is really, really petite. Definitely not even 5 feet tall and just really petite all the way around. She is on the elliptical next to me this morning and these two guys come up and say: "my friend and I were wondering since you are so little and all if you were a midget."
Girl is silent for a second. "No, I am just really petite." I am now staring at these guys with my mouth hanging on the floor.
One of the guys says: "We were just wondering because we were both like, 'man, if that girl was a foot taller she'd actually be pretty hot!!!"
I was like, "I certainly hope that wasn't their best pickup line!"
She just rolled her eyes and said she couldn't believe that, even though she knows she is really little and people sometimes stare.
Can you believe what people have the nerve to say????
What funny stories!
OK...Your stories and then Julies really made me laugh...
One of my more awkward moments came at Walmart wehn I was buying some feminine hygiene products and the lady checker asked if she could have one because she had just .....You know the rest of the story. For some odd reason I felt myself turn so red as I was opening the box and handing one to her...
Great post...you made me laugh out loud.
Love you-

What in the world? People are so stupid. . .how dumb do you have to be if you are unable to figure out why a woman might be buying a pregnancy test? You should have looked him straight in the eye and calmly replied, "My husband."
Idiots.
