"No I don't, Dear Kaitlin, ."
Well, yes, now I do, Dear Kaitlin. Six months later.
So now what?
- Pukalani Superette has F'real. (It'll make you F'real F'at )
- Gretchen knows Vicki's secrets. (How long till Gretchen Blows?)
- In New Jersey they've lost their minds ( Again.)
- McDonald's is adding breakfast to the Late Night Menu (Would you like hash browns or fries with that Big Mac? Please drive through.)
- Justin Bieber is is going to shoot a video in space. (Perhaps he'll like space and stay there)
- Saturday, June 8th is the 3rd Annual International Yarn Bomb Day. (I don't make up this stuff. Google it.)
- Today I wasted money for the first time in Micah's life. (Perception is reality, or not )
About 6:30 this evening I got the hankering for some exercise. Nothing strenuous mind you. These gelatinous, old lady legs can't handle much. I thought a brisk walk would satiate my appetite. The plan: .06 mile up Piiholo Road and .06 mile down, which equals 1.2 miles. (Yes, I did the math. Mainly for my own satisfaction, to brag about the minuscule distance, and to prove I can do math) And I wasn't in the mood for alone time.
So I asked Micah to go with me; as usual, he had some excuse. "I've been at the beach all day, played basketball all week." Something like that. I wasn't listening; I was concentrating on how to convince him to go with me. I knew the story of the Three Thug Boys in the Hood wouldn't work again. (Last time I walked alone, three meaty, young men, in their late teens or early twenties, followed me until they grew tired of the taunting that aroused no reaction from me other than a swifter pace . But that's another story.)
Without thinking, or should I say in complete desperation, "I'll give you five dollars" shot out of my mouth.
"Whaaaaaaaaattt? Five dollars? To go on a walk?"
"Yep. Five Dollars.Well, all I've got is a ten. That'll by three walks. Three walks at $3.00 a piece"
"As soon as I see that money in my wallet, I'll go."
"Get off the couch and get dressed."
And this is where it starts to lag, get boring, fall apart. I've run out of juice
"This is the first time in my life I've seen you waste money."
to be continued
Now that I think of it...Yarn Bombing would have made a more interesting story.
