Last night I went shopping at Old Navy alone, and got there right before they closed. Oh yes, I was one of those customers. I was walking through the store really fast to get to where I needed to go, and there were only a few other shoppers. A little boy, not more than 6 years old, walked up to me and said "Hey, if you have any daughters, would you have them call me?" while raising his eyebrows. WTF? I'm not sure how to take this. He was with his dad, and I didn't notice if his dad was single or not. Anyway, that's a line I've never heard.
Switching gears. Every day it's becoming more and more clear to me that I'm a doofus. I have two stories:
The other day I was in an elevator, and the doors closed and I started hearing the song "Beautiful Day". I was thinking "Yes, I love this song! This is going to be a great day!" and I was smiling. I got out of the elevator and started walking down the hall when I realized that my ringtone for general calls is set to "Beautiful Day". I missed an important work-related phone call. Ugh! I've never been blonde, what's my excuse?
When I was in NYC, I bought myself some shot glasses as a souvenir. The store clerks wrapped them in brown paper sacks, and I haven't unpacked or looked at them since. Last night I was wanting to use my new shot glasses (don't ask), and got them out. They were totally NOT the design I remembered buying or wanting. Then I remembered that I bought them right after I drank half of a bottle of wine at dinner. In the future, I should probably not shop after drinking.
How's this for a random post? Happy Friday, everyone!

OMG Christy, those are both hilarious. You missed your own phone ringer!! HAHAHA!! My favorite ringtone right now is the theme song from The Office. I just need to plug in a memory card to my new badass phone so I can get that tone on it. *sigh* Technology.
What were you shooting last night?
What the...??? The little boy's dad HAD to have put him up to that. The question is did he do it just to be funny, or was he trying to use his son to hit on you?
Well, my 9-year-old son has been checking out teenage girl's backsides at the swimming pool recently, and he has no idea what sex is all about.
I've missed the cellphone ring in the car when I've been jamming to tunes, so dont' feel so bad about that.
Drunken shopping is the best. I've got a fabulous outfit from Bebe - I have no idea when I might wear it - but it looked great on me in the mall that's open all night in Vegas.
La- love The Office theme song! I was shooting Sauza Hornitos, it's my favorite shooting tequila. You know how I love my tequila! Stuff like Tres Generaciones and Patrone are sipping tequila's. Sauza is good shooting tequila, and Hornitos is my favorite Sauza. I can shoot Jose Cuervo, but I know you can't! Anything less than that and I catch on fire. Sauza Hornitos is midrange. It's not Patrone, but it aint Cuervo either.
Rebecca- hmmm... The dad came to get the boy and acted embarrassed, but that could have been a ploy, I really have no idea!
Randy- either I'm not such a doofus, or you're just as much of a doofus as I am. Either way, I'm in good company. :)
Floating in the Milk- I LOOOVE Bebe! I'll bet you look fabulous in whatever it is that you bought. Perhaps you can find a swanky club on your upcoming trip? It's a good thing my escort didn't take me down 5th Avenue after I had been drinking... my AMEX card has an outrageously high limit and who knows what I would have come home with? Funny thought!
No. WAY! I went to Old Navy the other day, too.
This is SO wierd.
Loved that story about the shot glasses :) I'm laughing. Yup, I am.
Great stories! The one in the elevator sounds like something I would do!
I've never done drunk shopping! It would be scary to see what kind of shit I would buy if I did!
I forgot to say that for sure that dad put the kid up to it. The wiggling eyebrows thing suggest they seriously rehearsed this line at home a few times to prepare for the real thing. No six year old can hear multiple instructions and lines to repeat without screwing it up. It was a serious ploy by this dad to hit on you.
That kid is another womanizer in the making, I'd bet money.
What did you say to him?
Phoebe- No. WAY! Get OUT! Thanks for laughing *with* me! :)
Regina- teehee! This was my first drunk shopping experience. It's gotta be better than drunk emailing, which I've done all too often and am always embarrassed the next day.
SML- good point! I just looked shocked and said "Um... what?" and his dad was all embarrassed and walked hiim away.
I typed a witty fucking reply...but the damn thing didn't want to work! I love patrone w/lime!! I like shopping drunk because it is like christmas morning when you finally check your bags. I went to a posh event, wine was flowing and spent god knows how much money, lost a credit card (the guy tracked me down and returned it)! The next day my husband asked what I bought I told him I had no fucking clue, but I had fun!!
JOOM- my husband and I are both in hysterical fits of laughter after reading your response, thank you! I love it, "it is like christmas morning" SO TRUE!! :)
Yes, WAY! I was there.
I just want to say that whoever chose the name "Regina Filangi" has to have been my friend in the Pre-Existance. I'm a fan of Phoebes and her aliases. I've got the words to "Smelly Cat" on my bathroom mirror, too.
