Stalker Shoppers

Not that I'm hyper aware or anything but (okay I am) but I notice people staring into my purple 99c store basket (cart, buggy if you'r'e from the south). 

 Was it odd that I have a 32 pack of key limes (only need two), a Jimmy Carter book, 2 bottles of generic mouthwash, pistachios and some cashews? 

 I do admit that I have been know to do a long glance into other folk's baskets, but today the 99c world was getting me back for all my years of copy shopping.  I get great ideas this way.  I find that if you try talking to people too much they freak out and think you're going to follow them to their car and reset their radio stations.  Oh well.  Oops, radio stations?  That's out of date...Change their Slacker Radio, Pandora...stations?  Brush their blue tooth with the wrong toothpaste. You get it.

So, yes you can get ideas from DIY, books, magazines and copy shopping.  I've learned alot and also gambled with a few questions to strangers/ shoppers, which 99% has been well received with extrapolation.  Why not?  It's a way to meet people and share

Turkey Neck

Most people may end up getting a "turkey neck" as they age.  I've recently noticed this and then googled a picture of a turkey.  It looks cute on a turkey.


Trying to appear as youthful as possible without wearing a Bieber tshirt and a belly button ring:



  • I use sunscreen
  • I buy oil of olay and use it everywhere
  • I have hats stashed with reach in case of very sunny day
  • and more

I overdid the sun in my teens, and 20's.   Royal almond body oil  and a large maximum tanning shiny silver blanket thing.  Yes, I did.

I now notice that my neckline has freckles...large freckles..okay...age spots.  I also notice that I've been scarred by our cat Slick.  He doesn't mean to, but if he gets restless he will use you as a launching pad.  (He now lets us hold him).  

Sigh.  So I will recover from these 4 or so scratches.  Like a bruise...you can sort of get a time line on when each happened.  

Today somebody thought I was going to be in my 40's.  I think she might become my new best friend!!  I really think she was serious.  I've kind of dwelled on this a few times today.  Age is just a number though, really...until you feel like crap.  Until then, just have fun!!
