A Walk To Remember.

You guys all rock. End of story. If you haven't already, give your fellow bloggers' comments on my previous post a skim because they are all so funny and creative. Every single one left me smiling and giggling to myself. Seems like we were all pretty cool cats as youngins, even if we were rebels and terrors! Wouldn't it be awesome if all our child selves could have a massive playdate, complete with unlimited coloring books and Disney movies? Lordy that would be so fun. And no Ed party crashing allowed! I'm definitely getting on inventing a time machine, so we can make this happen. 

Back in the day... When I say I had crazy curly hair as a child, I'm not kidding!

I just got back from taking Rosie on a walk, and all I can say is wow. Definitely the most bizarre hour I've experienced in a long time. Halfway through I seriously texted my sister asking if it was Friday the thirteenth, that's how weird it was. I'm walking down the sidewalk, Rosie trotting along, when all of a sudden a bug flies up my nose. Yes folks, I officially inhaled an insect and it was not pleasant. Once I managed to semi regain my composure we continued on our merry way. Half a block further I saw a guy standing outside his house wearing a hideous neon turquoise tracksuit. I'm glad he was wearing sunglasses, otherwise the color probably would have blinded him. Or at least caused retinal scarring. That was a bit out of the ordinary but what was even weirder was that he saw me and blew a kiss at me. So odd, especially considering I was not looking kissworthy in the slightest. Like I was still hacking and wheezing from the bug in the nose incident, was being dragged down the street by a slobbery dog and had my parka hood up. 

Meanwhile as we're walking there are crows everywhere. Seriously they were filling the trees and waddling all over the streets. I'm not a fan of crows, and I was definitely more afraid of them than they were of me. Like as we approached they didn't move and just sort of looked at me like, "Come closer. I dare you." I felt as though I was playing a game of chicken... but with crows. As a side, is there a difference between ravens and crows? I would look it up on wikipedia but to be honest I'm scared that there'd be a picture accompanying the description. So what have we encountered over the course of ten minutes? Fly in my nose, kiss blown by Borat-resembling tracksuit man and somehow stumbling upon a crow convention. But don't worry, there's more fun to be had.

Walking by a bus stop we passed this woman who spotted Rosie and spontaneously began serenading her. Loudly. It was definitely awkward. I mean, what could I do? I still don't know what the appropriate response was, but I just sort of stood there smiling awkwardly and feeling like a third wheel while Rosie quivered behind my legs in fear. It's rough having an adorable dog because people constantly want to pet her. And even though Rosie is clearly trembling in fear and I tell them she's super shy they insist on trying anyways. I want to say that just because you have/had/once touched a dog doesn't change the fact that Rosie is terrified of anything that breathes and many things which don't. End rant. Considering all the craziness went down just during the walk this morning, who knows what the rest of the day will bring?

Cuteness personified. Except when she needs to pee at three in the morning.

Sorry that this post is so ridiculously all over the place. I hope my description of the walk wasn't mind numblingly boring! It probably is one of those had to be there things, but I was tripping out the whole time. As a side, I just read something about yawning and then couldn't help but yawn. I'm such a cliche. As long as I'm being random already, might as well continue with a funny thing I read on MLIA this morning.

"Today I was eating the most delicious brownie and then suddenly realized that I was saying 'Nom nom nom' unconsciously under my breath." 

Tee hee. I actually knew a girl who whenever she ate something yummy would do a little happy dance in her chair and sing to herself. It was funny. Anyways. Now it's your turn! Did anything random or interesting happen to you today? When you read about my yawning incident did you yawn yourself? Oh goodness, just writing about it made me yawn again! Power of suggestion, I guess.
