friday, may first

the funniest part about today was when i was late for work

because i couldn't find my rainboots

(which i wanted to wear because it was soggy outside)

--and five minutes later i still couldn't find them,

so i settled for cowboy boots

(which aren't even waterproof)

and i got fifty yards down the road and it started raining.

so i ran back home for an umbrella

(which happened to have cowboys on it,

which lent my outfit an accidentally overt western theme)

and as i flew out the back door,

the umbrella

(which was the kind with a hook-shaped handle)

got caught on something

and i went jerking backwards like a ragdoll,

like a bungee-jumper,

and i laughed out loud.

you looked very cute, dripping wet, when you were blown into my shop yesterday during that impromptu monsoon...

That sounds funny. I love the way you write.

funniest part to me is your accidental western theme. add to that the whole annie (who lives on) oakley deal.

i think you should stick to this new-found theme;)
