Bulls Eye

Been off of here for a while and wasn’t going to post about what’s happened as of late, and still may not, at least not specifically, but I think I can post about something related (no mystery, I’m just being a wee bit closed mouth right now cuz I don’t want to jinx anything).

After being out for an entire evening (overnight) this past weekend and en route home, I decided to stop in one of the more popular Big Box stores and see if I could pick up a couple of items still on my Christmas gift list. Figuring it was early enough to beat the crowds on a Sunday and knowing that once I hit my front door I was going to be either 1., down for the count via a long nap; or 2., baking cookies for the cookie exchange at work on Monday, I decided that stopping off on my way home might be smart.

Making good on my trip in to the store - having found a couple of things I was looking for - I headed for the check-out. Who knew I’d get perceptive-gay-check-out-boy.

In a matter of about 3 seconds this kid sized me up and I could see by the look in his eyes and on his face that I should’ve gone home and changed and washed my face and then gone back out if I was going to go anywhere public. After all, it’s 11:00 a.m. on a cold, wet December Sunday morning and I’m in this store wearing black high heels, black slacks, a grey/silver sequined blouse, a faux mink coat, lightly smeared (but smeared non-the-less) eye make-up, and "night before" hair (brushed out, mind you.....but still). I definitely didn’t look like I just came from church, either.

Um…duh? Anyone care to guess what this kid guessed?

This guy had a look on his face that said “I know what you did last night girlfriend, you go Mrs. Robinson! Snap!” And in the 3 seconds it took for my light to go on at the dawning of his, I thought: “Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.”

Note to self: Unless you can refresh yourself properly (which means at least washing your friggin’ face – seriously- what were you thinking???) after an overnight visit, stay clear of public places until you can!

Ai, yi, yi!
