Riding in elevators with boys...

Ugh! Elevator rides are sooo awkward. Each time I'm on the elevator I tell myself that it is that last time! But when you work on the fourth floor of a building and you wear pumps everyday, your relationship with the stairs doesn't last very long.

I mean, elevators are just never a good experience for me. I always get on when someone has just left an auromatic present(a.k.a. fart) and you can't call them out because there's 10 suspects leaving the elevator door. boo. Then there is the writhing of crickets or beetles stuck in the ceiling lights with their toasty-guts oozing out. OR I end up riding with the person I despise the most at work (yup, just you and that scut who's gift is to eternally torture you with their delightful personality).

Anyways, the longest relationship I had with the stairs was about 2 weeks. I just couldn't commit any longer than that. I HAD to go back to the sweet elevator ride that reminds me of how much I won't miss hyperventilation or swollen heals.

So I'm waiting for the elevator one day, right. As the door opens there are two very professional-looking gentlemen duking-it-out on what appeared to be a very in-depth complicated probably political convo. Entering the elevator was instant awkwardness because it was obvious there were some unfinished points to be made. And to top it off, I don't know why, but I decided to stand right smack between them ( I KNOW!). What was I thinking? Why didn't I just veer off to one side and let them finish their debate. But NO. I had to stand right between them.

The ride down was filled with unspoken animosity (between the professionals of course), wary-wandering eyes, and a stagnant stench with a mild scent of cheap cologne. And I thought to myself every last second of the-man-sandwich-elevator ride, from the moment I first entered to the moment of departure, that this was the last time I ride an elevator. Again.

Waiting in line

It's so good to be back in the blogging world. I miss it so much. Not a day goes by that I don't have an experience I'm dying to log on my websites. It's just that being a grown-up sucks all the energy out of you and robs you a little of what you enjoy. I have sooo many stories I want to share with you, there just hasn't been the time. So many things have happened to me since I last wrote.

BUT, I would like to start off my "season-premiere" story, if you will, with a little tribute to all the pychoes that have to buy like five different lottery tickets slash quicksteps slash tx two-step slash pick threes at a convenient store at 6:50am in the morning. Mother! You have a got issues if you are gambling that EARLY in the morning.

I was already running late to work, and I thought I would stop and get a snack for the day like I always do. As I grabbed my last snack from the candy aisle my eyes met up with a gentlemen on the opposite side of the store from where I was standing, but equidistant from the cashier's desk. Covertly, we both started towards the front. Not long into our stroll to the front counter we decided to lay aside our composure and just race. Needless to say he beat me, (dang pumps!), and also decided to purchase every gambling scratch-off ticket possible. Would should have been a quick stop was a 15 minute break. I made it to work on time (counting the 7 minute grace period of course). Yay for me. I always have a way of pushing the limits, but for some reason I seem to pull through. It's a gift, I know.
