When you go get groceries…you might accidently run into people you know.
Acutally, this happens to me ALL THE FREAKING TIME. Part of it is that I have lived in this area my entire life. Sometimes it is pure dumb luck. Other times it is Murphy’s law.
I can promise you that if you look like crap you will see more people you know than if you happen to look great. This is FACT.
If you haven’t showered in days? You will totally run into all your old boyfriends AND your entire graduating class. All at the same store. Look great? You might run into your mom. Maybe not even your mom. I usually look completely incompetent in front of mine.
A few weeks ago I went grocery shopping at Maceys with no makeup, my hair in a knot on top of my head, and in a jogging suit. I ran into no less than three customers. They all wanted to say hi. I should mention that they all looked great.
Last night I went to Maceys again for some groceries and ran into Tom Grover and Ryan Yonk from KVNU Michael Jackson’s Last Days: What Really Happened hd and Rob Miller from the Utah Amicus. They were doing live coverage of Super Tuesday. Ican say that this time I was lucky. I didn’t look great, but I didn’t look like crap either. I am thankful for this as they wanted a picture. I should mention that I hate the angle the picture was taken at, but whatever… Low shots always make you look worst.
Here is the picture…
You can see more of the pictures here.
Stumble it!
Ha! I definitely can relate. Whenever I’m back home, I ALWAYS run into people and I ALWAYS look my worst. You’d think I’d learn.
By the way, I love this template! Wherever did you find it?! Was it easy to tweak?
Jennifer… your theme is just lovely. Why would you want to change it?
For anyone that wants to know where our theme came from I have to thank Sadish Bala who wrote the code for it.
Thank you!
Here is the link if you want it. Easy enough to change if you know how.

Oh thank you! My theme is okay, I just would prefer my sidebars to be on the same side and I like your font here better…I’ll check it out and see if my html impaired self can figure it out!
You got Jen here! KUDOS. (She’s divine, no?)
And? DUDE? I wanted to go.
I heart Tom and Ryan.
I always either run into my doctor/shrink/therapist, or I used to run into the judges I worked for when I was a law clerk ALL THE TIME. At the store, at the movies, at the pharmacist (”Your extra strength MONISTAT is ready!”) Always awkward.
Brigde,
You look fabulous as always!
I think you look great!
About a year ago I was in Walgreens when I ran into a girl I went to high school with. She was, by far, the most beautiful girl in that whole school. Maybe the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met.
Anyway, she was in there with her teenage daughter who was, if its possible, even more beautiful. They were buying sunscreen cause they were heading to the lake with the family. I was standing there talking to them when I realized I was holding a box of hemorrhoid pads.
How cool am I?
if i look like gisele bundchen (ok, which is never, but you get my point), i see no one.
if i look like roseanne barr (ok, which is often), i see EVERYONE i know. and people i haven’t seen for ten years. GO ME.
and jen is fab…she cracks me up…i’ve been lurking for a while here and there… when i remember to go visit her…
I try never to go shopping unless it’s right after work. Then I usually look OK, since I usually dress up for work and usually have make up and hair done. I can’t remember the last time I was shopping and DIDN’T see someone I knew. Even on Sundays I put “real” clothes on (instead of sweats or PJ’s) before going out. My sister actually instilled this trait in me…THANKS SIS! And I SO wish I looked as awesome as Bridge without makeup…*sigh*
What’s wrong with me that I think you look fine? Probably the fact that I had to walk Nate with a showercap on my head yesterday. Well, I covered my head with a giant towel so you couldn’t see my head or my face… which really made me look frightening, but I was sooooo embarrassed.
So quite obviously I am not the person you want telling you how to look when you leave the house.
I always shove my son in front of me and act small.
Better yet, just act like I don’t see them!
