also I have a couple little stories. I promised a friend I'd post the first one in livejournal and it took me a little while, but here it is. I hope it makes you smile =)
So I was going to Salsa lessons every Monday for a while, and I tend to try to avoid dancing with the same guys every time because I'm always nervous that they'll get the wrong idea from it.. but this one time I ended up dancing with a guy I had spent an entire earlier Monday dancing with. No big deal, but it's not really my style, so when the lesson ends and the music stops and he's still dancing with me regardless... well I decide it's time to go and say "Looks like this place is emptying out, I think I'm going to head home." He says ok and as I go grab my umbrella and purse he gets his jacket and umbrella and exits at the same time I do. So we end up making small talk as we're both making out way through the Break Zone in Squires and as we exit he starts to turn right and I say "My car's in the Squires lot, see you next Monday!" and head left.
But wouldn't you know, he turns around and catches up to me and all of a sudden he's walking me to my car instead of us both just happening to be going in the same direction. *sighs* We get outside, and I'm about to cross the street to the parking lot when he says "So... I don't know if you're busy or anything, but want to go get some drinks with me?" and I think Aha! I am busy! There's something I have to do that I was planning on doing right after the dance lesson! and before my brain consults with my mouth about what this something was, I blurt out "Oooh... I really shouldn't. I don't have any clean socks. I need to do my laundry tonight!"
.....
Clean socks? No clean socks!?!?? It doesn't help that it was completely true, I can't believe that that was my excuse for not going to get drinks with the guy. Why not "I don't drink on Monday nights" or "I work tomorrow"? How about the good old "I have a boyfriend"? Nope. That's not why I can't go out with you sir, the truth of the matter is that I have no clean socks.
I just about broke into laughter right then and there because the words that popped out of my mouth sounded so stupid. Lucky for me, the universe had my back and closed my umbrella on my head after only a very short moment of he and I staring at each other, both flabbergasted at the stupidity of my words. An umbrella closing on my head was the perfect excuse to laugh my head off without offending him further. And with that I headed to my car and my poor dance partner pretended to head downtown anyway before doubling back and going back inside Squires.
As I sidenote I didn't end up doing my laundry... I bought new socks at the local grocery store so I could postpone it for another few days.

The other story is probably more interesting... but you'll have to ask me in person to get the interesting parts. The part of the story that I'll post here is that Mark and I visited my parents' place in Fredericksburg a couple weekends ago and while there we created a small kitten out of thin air. The place we chose to create this kitten? Inside the engine of my mother's old Chevy truck. We knew it was a success when we heard the wheelwell meowing, but neither of us knew how to open the hood at that particular point in time so we had to call my mother out to retrieve our kitten. His name is Percy, and he's a perfect angel who scatters newspaper all over the house, breaks his toys as soon as they're repaired, harasses the doves in the foyer, wakes my mother with a claw to her cheek in the morning, and watches too much TV for his own good. Kittens these days, all they want to do is sit around and watch Cop dramas...
