WHISTLE! WHISTLE! Did you see that?!
As a young girl, I have always wanted to be one of those girls who turned heads. It never happened for me. In fact, boys and men would drop their eyes to the floor
. So my dreams of being a head turner, I thought were gone. Being married for almost 16 years now, gone. The man I married wouldn't even look at me when we were dating! He says it is because girls scared him. First of all, I was not a girl and second, Liar! Any who! Today on my walk, it happened! I made the FedEx guy look twice!!!! I know it wasn't because of my size because even at my biggest, (240- 245, I stopped weighing myself at 240) I was not getting those kinds of looks. It MUST be because of my hotness. I posted pics so all of you could see it. It was my hotness right? It had to be! It could not be because I have a nice looking...... dog! Or that he liked my hat! For he could not see it from behind me. You can only see the BSU thingy from the front and he was coming up from behind me and looked at me as he passed and I know I saw him look at me in his side mirror AND THEN AGAIN as he twisted himself in his seat to get another look! Poor man must not get out much. (Get it? FedEx guy that doesn't get out much? Come on! Work with me here! Jeez!) I must admit that my outfit on a normal walk does not particularly match. I must stop myself for one minute because after I just used that word, most of you must be wondering how I spelled it correctly. Knowing me as you all do as a HORRIBLE speller. OK! I admit that I open another tab as I post and it is google.com and I type in the words I want to use and it gives me a list of words that it thinks I want and I chose the word and make sure it is spelled right by checking the definition. See! I just did it again on that word. I know, I'm cheating. But it works and NONE of you would have known any better if I had not just told you. Admit it! Anyway! Today's outfit matched right down to my new shoes that I bought. I looked all over the Internet looking for shoes that would help me in my new walking atmosphere (did it again) of mountains and walking up hills both ways. My old walking Ryka's just were not cutting it and I was getting blisters from the movement of my feet in the shoes that I have had for almost a year. Not good. So I took Eric's advice and I started looking for trail running shoes. Not cheap! Trail shoes for the rocks and such and the running for the snug fit for going up hills and down the other side. Not for the running part. Angie does not run! That is part of the reason I take Rufus with me. He is too nosey to run from something and while he is snooping around it, I have a chance to get away from it. That and if I was to run people would think weird things like: "The world must be ending for that lady to be running!" or, "That right there is just sad and maybe quite painful." Things like that, so I just don't run. And I also have a bad knee, right? But the shoes I found are pretty amazing. They hug my feet so there is no moving of my feet. Even thou I had to take my toe rings off that I have worn for six years. The things we give up for fashion huh? And no one looks at my feet anymore anyway, so why not? But back to the reason for this post. The poor FedEx guy and his sprained neck. Maybe the real reason he looked twice was to see if I was having a conniption fit because as we all know, I am not into really caring what people think of me any more and besides, up here there are not too many people anyway. So I was enjoying myself and celebrating the fact that I made it up the natural elliptical machine again by dancing and wiggling my fanny to the music that was playing in my ears. Not hearing the FedEx guy in his truck coming up behind me. I was not in his lane so he did not have to honk or anything. He just drove past me, looking to see if he needed to call 911. And probably laughing to himself and will later go home and either tell his wife or write it in his dairy. So here's to you FedEx guy, I beat you to it!!
