What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
I was walking with some friends in a new construction neighborhood that only had a few houses finished. I happened to touch the stop sign on the street and the thing literally fell over because it wasn't properly secured at all. I didn't know what to do at first so I just pretended it was a guitar and played it making my friends laugh but unfortunately there was someone in the newly constructed house who called the fuzz. We walked pretty far away from the area and eventually a cop car did come but I was kind of hiding away and my friends talked to the cops and told them they had seen some other kids in the area and apparently that worked to get the police to leave. It's not like I kept the stop sign. I laid it down right where it was. I feel like I did people a favor - they deserved for that stop sign to be properly secured. Imagine what would have happened if a big storm came through. I did a public service!
ReplyDeleteSpeeding tickets (some people are born with a silver spoon, I was born with a lead foot - I've worked really hard on that) and one time my high school boyfriend and I parked for some alone time after a concert and we'd barely turned off the ignition when a policeman shooed us off. Never been close to actually arrested though thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a new driver I got pulled over by a police officer who screamed at me for apparently interrupting a funeral procession. I didn't know one was happening because no one had their lights on, there were no flags on the cars indicating they were in a procession and the car stopped at the stop sign. I had no clue, but this officer was beyond livid and threatened to have me arrested. I was two blocks from my house and every time I went through that intersection I remembered that.
