snuggies and ski masks
So there I was, handing my gold jewelry to a man in a ski mask. Wait, WHAT?
Yesterday we headed up to Indianapolis for my niece's birthday party. The roads were pretty gross, we had gotten a bunch of ice and closer towards Indy they had gotten some snow. So we were driving up the road and we see this guy standing on the corner waving a sign to promote tax services. I'm sure you've seen them before, wearing a snuggie like dress and a crown to look like the Statue of Liberty. Except yesterday, it wasn't Statue of Liberty green, it was red. Not really sure why that was, maybe his green snuggie was dirty. Who knows.
Anyways, we continued on our way, and next we see a guy holding a sign that says "We buy gold." He was standing in front of what had used to be a residential house, but apparently had been turned into a gold buying business. Now, I really don't have a whole lot of nice jewelry, and nothing I am currently in the mood to part with, but if I was, I am pretty sure I would take it to a pawn shop or the gold buying place at the mall. Not some random, shady looking house along the side of the road. And as if the whole setup wasn't shady enough, the guy standing out front trying to drum up business was wearing a freaking ski mask. Even if I had been considering making a gold sale, that ski mask would have stopped me in my tracks. I understand it was only 20 something degrees out, but seriously, think about it buddy! Nothing says "I'm running a reputable gold buying establishment" than a guy in a ski mask! WOW!

what do you mean you've never heard my clothing line, "some designer you've never heard of for Target" ?
So there I was at Target last Friday night. My husband and I were having date night and had just finished dinner. We had planned to go to a late movie, but by 9pm were debating if we would be able to stay awake since the movie started at 10:20 pm. Sad, I know. So we decided to go wander around Target until we made our decison.
We were browsing in the sleepwear section where I found a super soft pair of pajama pants that I liked. They were made by some designer no one has ever heard of. I'm sure you've seen the ads, "so & so for Target" like you are supposed to know who these people are. Anyways, I decided to see what else this so-called designer had to offer.There was this super cute camisole(aka tank top) set, so I ditched the pajama pants and decided to get it instead.
Fast forward to home, where I decide to try on my purchases before I cut the tags off to make sure they fit. They did so I went to cut the tags off, and attached to the tag was a little mesh bag. Now there were no instructions for this bag so I am assuming it is to keep your camisole and panties in so you can throw them in your purse? I suppose it would be pretty embarrasing if you had a hot date and were out somewhere and you opened your purse and your panties fell out on the table! I guess if they are in this little bag it makes it easier to claim that its a scarf or something, lol.
Which now gets me to the point of this whole story. It used to be that one just kept a travel toothbrush in their purse in case of an impromptu shacking. But between these bags that you can keep your unmentionables in and those ballet flats that you can fold up and put in your purse, the whole walk of shame sounds alot more comfortable than it used to be!
Disclaimer:These observations are not necessarily spoken from personal experiences!!!!!! This post was actually the inspiration for the whole blog. The whole idea of it cracked me up, but my husband and I agreed that it probably shouldn't be my facebook status due to various people who might be offended or make assumptions. So if you were offended, get over it and don't read my blog, lol, and if not, stay tuned for more random observations coming soon. Hopefully anyways!

So There I Was...
Hi kids!
So this is my second attempt at a blog. I started my first blog last year after my daughter was born three months early and weighing only 1lb 8oz. The goal for that blog was to keep my friends and family informed on my daughter's situation, however it proved to be too hard for me to discuss. My goal for this blog is radically different. I am currently a stay at home mom in an effort to keep my daughter healthy through her first winter, so this blog is purely an attempt to amuse myself.
I want to assure you that this is not going to turn into just a "mommy" blog. I have a lot of opinions on a lot of things, not all of them polite! Another name for this blog could have been "Shit I Probably Shouldn't Post On Facebook!" LOL. As for the actual name of the blog, someone once told me that you should begin every story with "So There I Was...", it makes the story so much better! So that's the plan! I hope you enjoy it!
