Bumper Sticker of Wisdom

I went to get my haircut yesterday. As I arrived at the salon I noticed a gentleman was paying for his haircut and was about to leave. I opened the door to allow him to leave and for me to walk in. He just stood there and stared at me. He then walked slowly through the door as if he was a fashion model on the catwalk and never said a thank you or nodded as if I didn’t exist. Just in those few minutes I thought this guy is so stuck on himself.

I checked in at the front desk and Lashon came to bring me to her chair. As I sat down, she told me that the guy before me sat down, looked at her and said, “I am very particular about your MY hair!” I asked if it happened to be a guy in the suit who just left. She said yes!

She told me later how he kept bragging about all his houses and trips he takes. That he was wearing nice dress shirts with his initials on the sleeve. She asked me if I ever knew anyone with that. I said yes and they were a jerk too.

Lashon was obviously flustered by this guy and how he treated her. I am sure she was not going into all the details with me about her interactions with him.

When we were done, she walked me up front and the girl at the front desk mentioned that the guy before me was a rude to her. He throw Lashon’s tip at her and told her to put it in the envelope for him. Of course the envelopes are sitting right on the desk. She took the tip and placed it in the envelope and wrote to Lashon from jerk face.

As I was walking to my car, I started thinking about how just the few minutes we all spent with that guy made us dislike him. I wonder if he even knows how he comes off. I assume he acts this way because he thinks it impresses people or maybe it just impresses himself but either way he is not winning over friends.

When I turned the corner to the parking garage, I noticed a car parked on the side of the road with a big yellow bumper sticker on it. It made me laugh and I thought it said exactly what this guy needed to hear:

“Jesus loves you but everyone else thinks you are an asshole.”

Life List - Word in Dictionary (Sort of)

I was able to cross another item off my life list this week. I got this item from the book, 101 Things to do Before You Die. I love this book because it gives you tons of items to add to your life list and try to complete in your lifetime.

I was checking it out this week and noticed one of the items is to get a word published in the dictionary. I know I make up a lot of words but they do not always belong in the dictionary. My words and phrases tend to be more pop culture references. And made up and used by me. J

So I took some time to research and found an Urban Dictionary for slang terms. I submitted a word and guess what? They published it! You can go and rate my word and if it gets enough positive ratings it will be published in their yearly Urban Dictionary. How cool is that? I am considering this a win!

So what is the word?

She-She-La-La

Meaning that something is very sophisticated, chic, and/or cool. Used in describing places such as restaurants, hotels, parties, etc.

“We are going to try that new restaurant downtown. I heard it is VERY She-She-La-La so make sure to dress nice.”

Aren’t I crazy? Well I am just living life out loud!

April Fools Day!

Today is April Fools day when you get to play jokes on your friends and co workers to celebrate the day.

My sister and mom have always been pretty good at getting me on this day so I will have my guard up!

I thought to help everyone celebrate the day I would give you a list of ideas to use on your friends and co-workers:

1. Switch all the coffee to decaf

2. Go to someone’s desk, lean down, give them a look and say, “Oh you so know!” and walk away

3. Switch the signs on the restrooms

4. Go to a restaurant, tell them you are vegan and ask tons of questions about the food. When the server looks as if he can’t take it anymore say, “Screw it! I will just have the steak.”

5. Celebrate a friend’s real 30th birthday! Happy 30th April!!
