Warning: Bethany has hijacked this blog!

Well hello there ladies!
Silly, silly me had written down in my journal that I was posting next Monday.
Whelp... that obvy isn't the case so you don't get an introduction from my beloved Special K...
You just get me. So sorry.
I kid, I kid.

If you want to figure out where I hale from check out my page!

This is me
[a lover of:]


all things bright and pink.


the duck face.


and my handsome hubby.
Just to name a few.

So, when Mrs. Robinson asked me to guest post I definitely couldn't wait.
I have had so many ideas running around in my mind.
She and I have become such great friend and I didn't want to disappoint.
I decided to follow our humor theme and tell y'all a "first" story of mine.
First, you must read what Special K guest posted on mine.

Did ya read it?
Okay... good.

Now, if you don't know me well you may be unaware that I am a glorified hippie.
I may dress like I just walked out of Banana Republic but I love a free spirit.
I finally landed a job where I work for a bunch of hippies.
This has enabled to let my inner wallflower spill out into my wardrobe.
I would like to think I look like this:



But, I am almost certain I end up looking more like this:



Grrr.
This is my story:

----------------------------------------------------------

The first time I embarrassed myself in a Dollar General.

I ran inside to grab a few things for our friend's daughters for Christmas.
I had on a super cute hippie sweater dress from Earthbound, some leggings, and my suede knee boots.
As I was browsing through the lip glosses a girl in her early teens told me she loved my dress.
I said, "Awww... thank you!" and moved on.
Well, while the cashier was ringing up my purchases I heard the same girl tell her mother,
"I really like that dress!"
To which her mother responded with,
"It looks like a night gown..."
I was floored and as I swiped my card I turned to the mother (who was three or so people behind the line) and said, "I promise you I wouldn't go out in public in my night gown!"
She looked a little baffled and proceeded to pick up a magazine and flash the cover to me.
It was a picture of some celebrity in a spaghetti strap sequined dress.
She said, "I was talking about her..."
Oh emm gee.
Is my face on fire?
Do I have all my bags?
Is this door locked??? Oh... push don't pull...
Should I run?
I was so embarrassed.
Yes, apparently I am so vain as to assume she was speaking of me.
Yes, I must be a little self conscious about my hippie wardrobe.
Yes, twenty people standing in line witnessed this.
No, I couldn't change the channel and hope this was a horrible dose of Jersey Shore.
No, I have not called anyone out for anything since.

Moral of the story:
pick your battles... and not with strangers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I hope I didn't bore y'all too terribly.
I miss Mrs. Robinson as much as y'all do.
But, that was a story too funny not to share.

Ha-ha - this is hilarious. But maybe the mother was just a quick thinker and pulled up the magazine? Does that kinda make you feel better?!
