I Love Old People

I only wish that I'd shown up at McAllister's tonight about 20 minutes earlier so that I could have listened to more of the couple at the table across from me. They were absolutely hilarious and adorable. They were probably 70 years old and appeared to be on a date (not married) from their conversation. Here are the highlights:

Old Man: (sits back, finished with food, watching Old Lady)
Old Lady: I wish I could eat faster. I don't have my bridge in.

OM: (hands OL mint wrapped in white wrapper that comes with meal) Do you want this?
OL: What is it?
OM: I don't know. Maybe a lozenge?
OL: (opens mint) Oh, it's a mint. I don't like mints. Do you want it?
OM: No.
OL: The only kinds of mints I like are the square pillow shaped ones. They're really soft... That's the only way they can ruin chocolate. By wrapping it around a peppermint.

OM: (stands up to help OL with jacket) I'm not rushing you.
OL: I'm still chewing.

OM: (helps OL put one sleeve on of her jacket)
OL: I can't find the other sleeve.
OM: (grabs OL's arm and pulls it up at a rather awkward angle to put it in the sleeve)
OL: Put the sleeve down. It's too high!

They were so funny! I would love to work around old people, if it weren't for all of the dying. So many of them are just so funny!

Going Into Shoe Retirement

Before 2004, I didn't wear flip flops. Shocking, I know. I hated the feeling of something between my toes. My BFF Erin and I were planning a trip to Los Angeles, though, and I wanted some comfortable walking shoes that weren't dorky, so I asked her what she recommended. She told me about the greatest flip flops known to mankind: Reefs. I bought them in several colors and started wearing them all of the time. Here they are making their premiere in LA:

In 2006 in Katy, TX, again with Erin. (Apparently I often wear them with that same shirt.)
FYI: This was the first time we'd seen those giant red balls outside of Target so we took pictures with them for several minutes.

Even the family I work for's weirdo cat loves them. She was wearing them one day when I was at their house!

I've worn those brown reefs nearly every day, 9 months a year for over 4 years now. I had noticed that they'd started to wear down. As seen below.

Just on the right shoe, just on the edge where my big toe is.

Apparently, I walk all kinds of weird with my right foot. If you go back and look at the first two pictures, you can see me doing it. No idea how I can walk like that. So when I went to Fort Worth a few weeks ago, my mom got me some new ones, since my big toe was about to hit the pavement when I was walking.
This is how it's SUPPOSED to look...

Aaaaah. Much better. Yay for another four years in brown Reefs!

The new one and the old one. I'll have to work on building my foot impression into the new one.

Present On My Windshield

I got up this morning and took Jack outside, only to find a golden nugget from heaven on my windshield. This is what I saw. I have taken the effort of pointing out to you some of the best things about it:

Simply amazing. One of the best car windshield flyers ever. And the fact that they put them out overnight! (I found it at 6:45 this morning.) Great job, Glen and Meechy.

I also just noticed the random circular saw blade in the G in BIG. Awesome. Also, if Meechy is the contact person at the bottom, shouldn't his name be in all capital letters with the rest of the title? I bet GLEN made the flyer.
