Wow. My First Blog.

So this is it. I finally lost my blogging virginity.


I'm not really sure what to write about, so I'll just highlight some funny moments from the week for you.


Funny Moment #1: The creature in my hair.

While fast asleep one night this week, I awoke to an oh-so-slight tugging on my hair. It was so subtle that it took a second for me to fully come to. For a moment I sat there, my heart panicked, thinking what could possibly be tugging at my hair. A mouse. A giant spider. A deranged stalker attempting to snip a lock of my hair.

Suddenly I hit that point where adrenaline takes over, and in spite of possibly coming into contact with one of the above and having to face them, I shot up and frantically ran my hands through my hair. Nothing.

I flipped on the light, terrified at what I would see lying on my bed or scampering to get away.

Still nothing.

I decided to do one more run-through with my fingers, and suddenly, something dropped. I screamed. I jumped. I flailed. There it was. My retainer.

I know what you're thinking. Retainer? The thing that keeps your teeth straight? In your hair?

See, I have this problem where I take my retainer out in my sleep and put it in random places. It's gone missing for days at a time before. And that night, I must have tangled it in my hair, and as it slid off the mattress, tugged my hair with it.


Funny Moment #2: Scary Mannequin

As I walked to Barnes and Noble on a work errand this week, I passed by Urban Outfitters. I vowed not to go in until I actually had money to spend, otherwise my self discipline goes out the window. So all I could do was look longingly at the artsy displays and uber trendy clothing.

I became enthralled with the 'set design' of the displays--and began thinking about how artistic clothing stores are getting these days. I turned the corner to see a stylishly-clad mannequin in the window. This one looked pretty lifelike, and my stare lingered while I passed. Suddenly the mannequin began wiping his nose and chewing gum. I almost peed my pants. My facial expressiong must have been classic. I mean, what would you do if a mannequin started moving? It was like an episode of 'Today's Special' gone bad.

Since when do real people stand in display windows?

That's all I got...for now.
