I was waiting in line for Bryan Adams tickets this morning (go ahead, laugh, the show is going to be great). It's a good idea to strike up some smalltalk with the person or people around you in line. This is good for 2 reasons. Reason one, waiting in line is freaking boring, so it helps to chat a bit. Reason 2, if you have to pee, the person behind you is much more likely to save your place happily if you've been friendly to them. Now, as I write this, I wonder if anyone would say no, when asked to save your spot in line. That would be pretty mean. I can't see it happening here, but maybe in bigger cities or something. People are pretty friendly here. The other day, I was at WalMart, and any of you who have ever shopped at WalMart know that the parking lot is a very scary place. I've never seen such a collection of frightening drivers as I find regularly in that place. That said, I'm driving up and down the rows to find a spot, and I see one, but as I'm pulling in, another woman is doing a drive-through job from the other side. She paused, and then smiled and backed up so we could both have spots. We chatted a bit on the way to the door, and decided that not everyone would have backed up. My faith in WM shoppers/drivers has been somewhat restored, but I'm still always really nervous driving there and pulling out of spots. I always go for the drive through spots if possible.
I have absolutely no plans for this weekend, except to give Jenn a call and see what's going on. Maybe catch a movie or something. I also have to try out my giant daquiri glass. mmm. Strawberries are on sale for $1.97 at Superstore, so I can have some real berry action in my drink, which is bound to help. A friend of mine made some with a bit of lime juice concentrate and a banana, and they were delish. I may try that.
