I feel pretty...

I was riding my funky 3-wheeled recumbent off the front apron of WalMart when I saw the lady sashay out of the store. She flipped blonde hair over one shoulder and strode out into the sunshine with confidence. That was admirable, since she wore a dress made from the dull side of a roll of aluminum foil. No kidding. It was silver. Her black stockings had so many designs running rampant that they made her legs look diseased. Startling red high heels that didn't match a thing clicked across the pavement.
I sat there under my tan shade hat with the big yellow flower pinned to one side, a sunflower sari draped over one shoulder, light-up flips pressed to my bike pedals and a pair of bright yellow sunglasses over my eyes, thinking, "It's amazing what some people will wear in public..."

Oh Shirley, I am so laughing. You wear the most amazing things, and they look GOOD on you. On me, they'd look like I was a runaway clothes rack from a second hand store.

Loved this blog entry. I'm going to send it on to Russ.

Before I forget: Thanks for stopping by our LDS Humor blog and commenting! Moosebutter was a hoot, huh?
