A Cowboy, Glasses, And What's Hot And What's Not: Completely Unscreened

Hello

This cowboy

works at the State Fair. He helps to direct traffic and serves as an Information Specialist (well, that is what I call it). Even though there are thousands of cars that pass by every day, he is nice to everyone. It can be a challenge. (I do not know his name).
Big Tex would be pleased.

I was wearing my glasses while walking earlier. Just walking outside briefly.
My glasses are big and clunky.
Everyone looks slightly blurry, when I have them on--just a little drawback.
I saw a neighbor coming down the street. My first thought was, "is she going to make fun of my glasses?" I don't know why the self-consciousness was there.
Just lovely.

A continuing and not necessarily ending segment, What's Hot/Not:
What's Hot:
Going to the movies
Looking up directions before you leave the house or apt.(Or, using your phone if you must).

What's Not:
Over-texting pretty much anyone (These are some quick rules. I'm sure that more exist).

Not tipping at any place or during any activity that requires a tip. (Again, some rules of etiquette. However, I just found them. You may find a better site).

Ads that state they offer "Part Time" work for "students," and then state that they are for customer service or telemarketing.

Goodbye,

Thank you for reading the blog.

Update To What's Hot, What's Not, and "I Challenge The Queen."

Dear all,

After further contemplation I have decided to add an addendum to the What's Hot and What's Not list:
What's Hot: Science and being a science geek in any way
Kimbra
Free ice cream anywhere, including at Jason's Deli
Not giving up
Reading an actual book
Dave Eggers
Small towns, if there is a reason for you to go there
Google Maps


What's Not: Hummers
Tank Tops With An Unmatching Bra
Looking like you tried too hard when you dressed up
The freezer
Having too many Pick-up trucks in Dallas (Includes any make or model)

My mom and I and one other person were having a discussion about how Queen Elizabeth, who is celebrating 60 years as queen, supposedly rides her horse 3 times a week. Then my mom said, "I challenge the queen to run a marathon."

What'll it be, queenie?

Have a Monday,
Alice

The other day I posted about a t-shirt that states, "Strong is the New Skinny." The site that I mentioned in my last post is not the only place to buy the shirt.
