I had to meet someone today for a craigslist transaction.
Our text exchange:
her – Noon St. Paul hotel lobby
me – Okay – will be a bit late cuz of parking
her – text me when u r here
me – you’re not a serial killer right
her – no, u?
me – no, whew. that was awkward. Glad we r both ok
her – c u in 10 min
me – how will I find you
her – blond, late 20s, black coat and boots
(10 min later)me – there are 50 of you in this lobby
her – well what do you look like
me – graying middle-aged brunette in stained coat, yoga pants, uggs and I’m holding a 3 year old.
her – oh, I see you. That was super easy
me -shocking
Awesome! I had a good laughing/coughing fit after reading that.
I can’t quit laughing.

I like to throw people off at first. I start with glasses. Then, curly hair. Saving the best for last I go, “Fine, I’m Black” and that gets me found pretty quickly. The first two hints are just for fun and it probably only works because of where I live:).

Hilarious. That would be me. Though with my friends I’m more unrecognizable when I’ve showered and put on make-up.

I’m completely shocked. NOT lol. I tell everyone to look for the redhead with a 4 year old and almost 2 year that either has a Starbucks in her hand or needs one.

Another giggle. I’m drinking my morning coffee very hot. I didn’t know I’d brave burns to come over and read your blog this morning.

It’s aways such a relief when the other person isn’t a serial killer.
