Interpreting things literally comes at a cost
Today, after listening to my self deprecating chitter chatter, a friend of mine [I imagine] threw his hands up, and said, "You have to be nice to yourself!" Clearly, I took this nugget of advice seriously to heart, because via a set of circumstances, I ended up being nice to myself all afternoon.
The following set of events transpired between 1:15pm - 3pm on this bright summer day:
1) I went to get a personal pizza from the 3rd floor pizza hut, but hit floor #1 by mistake
2) Getting out there, and swept forward by the crowd, I ended up outside, thusly realizing that it's a gorgeous day and not an oven from a brothers Grimm tale.
3) I decided to walk a few blocks to KnowFat and get a salad to go, but the girls mistakenly plated it for me, so I thought, why not enjoy a lunch with a real plate and fork, and sat down by the window.
4) The sun was shining somethng awful, so I decided I'd walk a few more blocks to waste some time, and on my way to nowhere up the street, got accosted by girls from Benefit, who offered me a catalog and an eyebrow waxing.
5) I was strong and passed them by, but another venu was already beckoning me forward. All this errant walking had bought me a blister on my pinky toe, and I suddenly remembered that I don't have any flipflops, so I ducked into DSW.
6) DSW (so many shoes!!!) was havingn a perpetual clearance, so in addition to my goal purchase of flipflops, I ended up with a $20 dollar Italian purse.
7) On my way back to work, the Benefit girls waved at me from the window, so I stepped in, and stepped out with an eyebrow wax and face full of makeup.
Total price $90.
Very nice to myself.
