RUDE.

I got off work early today, and was wandering through various stores on Broadway, and I spotted a massive liquor store. I haven't been able to find Almendrado (Almond tequila... seriously AMAZING) since I've been in NYC so I thought I'd give it a try. A salesman approached me and I explained what I was looking for and as we were brainstorming, he called me out on overusing the word "like". Now... I know I say it a lot and I try to be conscious and tone it down, but who the fuck are you to give me a hard time?! He stopped me mid-sentence to ask me why I said that so much and to let me know that it made it really hard to listen because it interrupted the flow of the conversation.

Umm.... ok, even if that were true, I AM A FUCKING CUSTOMER. Who are you to critique anything about me [to my face]?! I mean, really.

I was so taken aback, I just stared at him for a second and then he asked me another question (relating to the tequila) and when I replied I started my sentence with "I think it was like a.... " and he interrupted me to "correct" me: "I think it was 'similar'".

FUCK.OFF.

Pole Dancing

Oh yes... you read that right! I went to a pole dancing exercise class last weekend and it was SO MUCH FUN. I learned a lot.... talented dancers have reached a level of athleticism I am not sure I ever could. I used muscles I didn't even know I had (I know they're there now because they HURT for the next couple days!) and I have bruises all over my lower legs. All in all, completely amazing, and I would definitely go again!!

I did it!! I think the numerous attempts at this particular move are the source of my bruises.


The gorgeous women of my "class"

It's Fall, It's Fall!! Oh, the Excitement...

Yup, yup. We had some weird weather-- It got super hot again (like low 90's) and then a storm hit hard. It wasn't that cold, but super humid. Then when that passed it just spat us right into fall. I guess I was kind of expecting a transition of some kind, but I'm still quite pleased! I switched out all of my summer and winter clothes. I was so so happy to see my sweaters and boots again! I'd never had to store them away before. My mom asked me about the weather last week, and the only way I could think to describe it was "It's basically like the dead of winter in SB." Sad, but true :)

Anywho... excuse me while I curl up under two extra blankets and sleep in long sleeves (those who know me well know how ridiculously uncharacteristic this is for me) and try to stay warm. Yay, seasons!!
