I looked a mess today and got hit on three times! How wonderful is that?! I went to Home Depot to buy mold kits for the basement (later found out that they weren't needed) and walked out with a deeply massaged ego and a smile on my face. Ladies, if you ever need an ego boost, make a trip to Home Depot. In my messy case, I had on a RUN DMC sweatshirt, some loose jeans and a cap and still got some stares, a hello, a compliment and a phone # request. On my way home my friend Tristian called to say he was coming over to kill time and shoot the shit before heading to a meeting. I shared my ego boost story and he said something very interesting about his kind. Apparently, my look says two things to men: I look less intimidating and I am in a comfort zone, which makes me (women) more approachable. Interesting, huh? So if I'd walked in with some high heels and a little cleavage I wouldn't have gotten any attention? I doubt it. But maybe the wrong kind of attention.
After Tristian left I took Big Red (that's what I call my truck) to get the bumper fixed only to find out that they couldn't do in the half hour that was promised so I had to come back the following morning and wait around for two hours, which I didn't do.
I came back home and worked for the rest of the afternoon until my sister came home later that evening bearing a brown bagged gift. And by gift I mean chili and cheese fries from Ben's Chili Bowl...yum yum. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe how good they are. The photo looks pretty gross but the taste was amazing!
