Showing My Age

Good morning! I just heard the news radio do an entire piece on teen sexting, straight faced. (Well I can't actually confirm it was straight faced...as it was...well radio...but they certainly were able to control their voice inflections.)  I would not be able to hold it together had I been that reporter. Sexting...it just sounds wrong and embarrassing. Can you imagine being 13 and your parents asking you if you've been sexting lately? Or your grandma using it in a casual conversation around the dinner table? "Oh those tweens and their sexting...when I was their age I walked 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways to get a glimpse of that Harold boy next door."  Why do I feel like that reporter drew the short end of the stick, similar to being chosen to report on a cat fashion show (poor Veronica Corningstone). Does anyone else find this word hilarious, or am I just being a giggly child?

European Clowns

I hate shopping...with a passion. Since when did women's running shoes turn into a mix of shiny fluorescent 80's colors that don't match??? They all look like shoes for clowns! I seriously thought the fluorescent fad would be on the out by now! I asked the shoe dude at Dick's and he said it's the European style. Last I checked I'm American and live in America. I literally could not find one normal color shoe. After an hour of literally opening every shoe box there was in the store I was delirious and nearly just bought something so I could get the h-e-double hockey sticks outta there and never look at shoes again. But somehow I had a brief moment of sanity and was able to pull it together long enough to leave without some crazy blast from the past English clown shoes. That was a close one and tomorrow is a new day. Maybe I'll be able to find a store that sells shoes in normal boring colors and rely on my personality to be all the color in my life I need. And if not...I'm gonna open a sneaker store called Personality...and the slogan will be "If you don't have any, you better shop at Dick's where your shoes will do all the talking".
