Let me start by briefly explaining a couple of things. First of all, Sheetz is a regional mini mart/gas station/fast food carry out place in my area. Second, I know I tell a lot of stories about things I see at said Sheetz as well as Walmart. I’m just a small town girl at heart. I’ve never had aspirations to be elsewhere. Sure, it would be cool to live somewhere with some culture and opportunities to do a variety of things, but honestly there is so much absurdity around here to entertain me that I never get bored. I’m always the occasionally irritated, but usually highly amused observer.
This morning we stopped at Sheetz to hit the ATM before heading out to this cool little festival in the woods. (See, how many of you city babes can say you were at a “cool little festival in the woods” this weekend?) So, I’m standing at the ATM looking over my receipt when I catch a flash of white out of the corner of my eye. I look up and standing in line with some bags of chips and a pop is a bride. Yes, a bride. Fully decked out in two tons of fluffy ginormous tulle and some taffeta thrown in for good measure, a veil, fancy shoes…the whole bride get-up. And she’s just kind of standing there like it’s no big deal. She’s not all smiley and happy looking. No, she just looks like some chick in line at the mini mart with some snacks. But in a wedding gown.
My brain was immediately bombarded with questions: Was she alone? Why didn’t the person she was with come in for her snacks? If she was alone, how in the hell was she driving a car in that giant dress? Why would a bride drive herself to her wedding? Wasn’t she worried about getting Dorito crumbs down the front of her gown? Did she just have a sudden munchie attack on the way the church? Why did she look so miserable? And probably the most basic question was WTF?? See, I don’t need any big city to keep me entertained when I’ve got this seemingly never ending wellspring of fabulousness that I call home. You know what? I think I’m going to snap some shots of some of the places around here so you guys get a better feel for my reality…that way at least you’ll know for sure I’m not making any of this up, nor am I experiencing drug-induced hallucinations.
Ah….my beloved leopard joggers…I haven’t worn them for months so it was high time I let the leopard run free. Keeping with my comfy, but cool vibe I went with my oh so chic moon and stars graphic tee. I’ll be honest with you. I aspired to wear the peep toe booties with this outfit, but I have to figure out a way to protect my tootsies first. It’s only the left shoe that’s really a problem. I’ll come up with some sort of solution because I do love them. I ended up wearing my black Birken-nots which were fine, but the booties were better I tell ya.
