THINGS THAT MAKE YA GO HMMM......


Three things happened this week that made me go, "hmmmmmm....."

1) I walked into the tanning salon (I KNOW, I KNOW, tanning is BAD for you, but I have been feeling gross and depressed and void of all vitamin D with this damn rain, so I CHOSE to go soak up some fake sun...that's besides my point though..) Anyway, I walked into my tanning salon after Bootcamp Monday night, ready for my 11 minutes of uninterrupted sleep (yes I can fall asleep and feel rejuvinated in only 11 minutes.) The girl at the front desk checked me in while a man (I am assuming he is the owner/esthetician,) slid an advertisement across the counter in front of me. "You should try this," he said as I quickly scanned the little sign, "it will get rid of freckles and really tighten up your skin. It's new, you could really see a difference from something like this, even in one treatment." The young girl, followed his pitch with, "yeah, look at his skin, see how tight it is? Oh, room 4 is ready for you." I headed to the tanning room, wondering if he was just trying to selll his new little skin treatment/machine, or if he was actually suggesting my skin is losse, freckly, old and unattractive. Hmmmmmm...........

I couldn't help but think a Tanning Salon was an ironic place to sell skin treatments, I mean, seriously, if I was worried about my skin, wouldn't all my "problems" be solved if I stopped tanning? LOL

2. Three of my girlfriends and I, all of us on maternity leave, met at the mall, Thursday. Plan A had been to go to the zoo, but because of the rain, we went with Plan B, the mall. We were not the only "moms" with this plan either. The mall was full of strollers and Starbucks sipping mommys. We wondered through the mall with our lattes and steamed milks, until it was time to feed our hungry babies. We made ourselves comfortable at one of the many seating areas in the mall. There were four comfy chairs arranged in a square with flowers and little counters. One by one, we put our nursing aprons and blankets over our chests and tilted our babies towards their meal. We sat visiting while the little ones ate. A woman with a name tag, indicating she was mall personnel, approached us. She commented on how cute the babies were and then proceeded to tell us about the "Family Nursing Room" located just around the corner, "The door is locked, but if you ask at customer service, they will give you a key. There's room in there for all of you, it might be more comfortable." Hmmmm.....

More comfortable for whom? Her or us?? Was she asking us to go there, or was she simply informing us......

3) I just picked up my truck from the Windshield repair place. I finally got the new windshield I was in dire need of. The receptionist, took me out to my truck to "inspect" the windhield and make sure it looked good. It did. She then removed the cover off my driver's seat. Hmmm....

Was the cover on the seat to protect my seat from broken glass? Greasy Coveralls or was the cover on the seat to protect the greasy Coveralls from all the dog hair covering the seat???
