A Little Claustrophobia Never Killed Anyone
(Or at least I don’t think it has.)
Today I felt claustrophobic at a local candy store. And I was really close to dying. Ok, so maybe it was only a mild panic attack and not death, but I still felt horrible enough that I had to step out for a few breaths. It was insane and I’ve never felt that closed in before. Let it be known that I will never go there on a weekend. Ever.
To start with the candy store is oh-so-small. Add in a bunch of foaming-at-the-mouth kids (not mine, mind you), big candy-crazed adults, and the overwhelming smell of popcorn and candy, and you have the setting for a horror story. I mean, really, if it wasn’t for the intoxication from the popcorn and candy, I might have not been able to post this. (Read: I may have been in jail due to mass murder.)
The Dark Side
I’ve been asking Michael to join Facebook for some time now. Come on, you’ll find a ton of people you used to know; it’s fun, I’d say to him. My ulterior motive was that I just wanted to link my husband. Well, and leave him little messages because I don’t really do those extra Lil’ Green Patches or Send a Drink or Coffee things. But, he was adamant about not joining. Nope, don’t need to, he’d constantly retort.
Then last week, after he and Olivia came home from soccer practice, one night, we had a conversation that went a little something like this:
“So I talked to S—– for a while.”
“Oh yeah, how’s he doing?”
“He’s ok. He asked me if I was on Facebook yet.”
“And you told him….”
“That I wasn’t and was probably the last person on earth who was not on there.”
“Right. So you’re—like—totally joining aren’t you? Because S—– told you to?”
“I told him I was gonna check it out. Yeah.”
“So. You’re joining because S—– told you to? Nice. You know what? I’ve been telling you to join for over a year. Guess what don’t friend me, ok? I don’t want to be your friend on there now.”
And then I stuck my tongue out and we howled in laughter. I cackled, actually.
So, he’s turned to “The Dark Side” but luckily hasn’t been sucked into the black hole completely. Yet!
As for me? I love dark side. Throw in some music and coffee and we have a trifecta!
