- I took Rusty to get a bath and he now smells amazing
- They were also selling little football bandanas for a dollar – so I got him a 49er one
- Then I went to the craft store to get some more embroidery thread and they had Yankee Candles on sale
- And they had CHRISTMAS candles out
- So, naturally, I had to buy them
- Because I love Christmas
- Then I went to Barnes & Nobel and finally found the latest edition of Mental Floss
- Then I stopped by Target because I realized that I need some new shirts (everything I own is either way too big or way too small and I’m getting tired of wearing the same five t-shirts)
- While I was at Target, I decided to get an iced coffee from the adjoining Starbucks
- I was wearing a Doctor Who shirt and the girl behind the counter geeked out
- She told me I had to look at her car when I went back outside because it was covered in stickers
- Then we had a really nice ten minute conversation
- We traded names – and I thought about maybe giving her my phone number because I felt like we kind of connected, and after three years living where I live, I still haven’t made that many friends (seriously: HOW DO ADULTS MAKE FRIENDS? I feel like Paul Rudd in I Love you, Man)
- But then I thought that would be super creepy
- And that she might think I was hitting on her
- Which I totally was not
- Hello, I’m engaged
- So I left a note on her car
- Because that’s much less creepy
- I actually started the note by saying, “I hope this isn’t too creepy”
- I told her I loved her car, and gave her the link to this – so she can contact me if she wants, but there’s no pressure and it’s not too creepy
- Right?
- Unless she actually used the url to come to this blog and is now reading this post
- Great, now I feel like a total creeper
HAhahahaha. Adult friends are weird to make- try kickball.com. There’s an awesome Yorktown/ NN league of people that I know and liked. DOOO IITTT. And drag Travis out too (Beth will probably be working).
I’ve heard good things about joining kickball teams… Mostly about all the beer after the kickballing, though. Fine, Karen, you’ve twisted my arm. I’ll look into it.
YES! The beer after kickballing is awesome. As is the beer that sometimes happens during the kickballing. I’m stoked to have twisted your arm.
This is Amber from Starbucks! I really did geek out today and it was really awesome
I wouldnt have been creeped out if you wanted to exchange numbers (we still can!). We are so alike; it’s fantastic! I loved the “I Love You, Man” reference. Anyways your site is awesome and I really would like to talk more and even hang out! I’ll shoot you an email with my info 
You made my day as well, so thanks for that!
HEY! Oh man, so I’m glad that I wasn’t completely crazy and/or creepy to leave you that note. I figured I’d like to find a note on my car, so what the hell. Please do email me (diaryofanovelist@gmail.com). I could totally be down for some hanging out. I’d say we could get some coffee or something – but you might be sick of coffee.
LOL that was quite the story arc. I admit that the note might be a little creepy…but if she replies, then you’ll know she’s a keeper!
A platonic keeper, I mean. Cos you’re engaged.
See, this is why I have you as my best friend. You have to tell me if I’m being creepy or not, because at this point in my life I JUST DON’T KNOW.
Love your photos too.
