The Video Store Phenomenon

I discovered something about myself today. I am the most NON-engaging patron ever. When I enter a store I don't make eye contact with other patrons, I don't talk to the clerks unless absolutely necessary, when in the grocery store I will always go to the self -check out, and when I get pedicures or massages I don't talk AT ALL. I don't know why, I just don't. I even told Wendy once "Stop being so nice to the pedicure lady cause next time I come in here they are going to expect me to talk to them".

However, there is one exception to this rule - The Video Store. It's a total Jekyll and Hyde situation. When I step into the video store, for some bizarre reason, I make friends with not only the other patrons but with the clerks and not just the clerk checking me out, we talk'n about everyone behind the desk. I have also been known to "engage" everyone standing in line, like we're all in this together. I make "friends" in the aisles, freely giving my opinion about different films people are looking at, I pull movies off the shelf and turn to the stranger next to me and say "Have you seen this one? Oh, you gotta see this, your family will love this..." or turn to a friend and say "Ah man, Eric Bana is sooo dreamy. Ask this lady...Excuse me ma'am, Eric Bana is dreamy, right?" And then I feel the need to ask the clerks personal questions, like "Come on, you can be honest with me..." and they actually answer me, and most the time they end up giving me waaaay to much personal information. Go ahead, ask anyone who has accompanied me to the video store, I promise, they will be able to give you a story or two.

Good bye lovely ladies!

I have moved out of the Bostonian Manor and thought it only fitting to say good bye to my home of two years. I have many wonderful memories of the fabulous women i have met and live with over the years there and cherished every moment of them. The women of that house are truly amazing, kind, and words can not contain the love i have for them. Thank you for your friendships, support, and words of encouragement.

I am definitely missing the wonderful warm weather. This morning it was -9 up here in Rexburg Idaho, it's just plan ridiculous! You know your in trouble when you can feel your nose hair freeze! Luckily, i have not yet fallen on the frozen ground, but hey it's only been a week up here and i don't see the conditions changing anytime soon.

I look forward to seeing you wonderful ladies soon!

Good bye ladies,
Monica :)

Can Skittles Make You Sick?

Last week I found out that Larry (the old nice guy at work) had never had Skittles (among many other common candies) before. I was completely shocked. Skittles are, I think, my favorite non-chocolate candy. Larry seemed to sense my amazement and volunteered to try them this weekend. His report on Monday was a little disheartening though because he only mentioned how sugary they were. He didn't even want to eat more than a handful. I was a little disappointed, but I understand that people have different tastes. He felt bad that my countenance fell when I heard his appraisement and promised to give them another chance. But Alas! He called in sick to work today. Do you think the Skittles could have made him sick? Maybe tasting the rainbow is too much for some people.
