Where's the bathroom?

Oops I mean restroom-we don't say bathroom here. At certain stores this is the most commonly asked question. At Vernon Hills or Lincolnshire, I got asked that question more than anything else. At Old Orchard, not once. I didn't notice when I got asked it all the time, but I went a whole day without having to think about some stranger's bladder. It was kind of a nice change. Odd, I know, that this would even have a bearing on my day-but really it's insane how people can't read signs-or go before they leave home!

Old Orchard is quite a store. Looks all small and unassuming from the outside and then you walk in and realize that it's the size of a football field and then some. It's quite impressive though.

My last day at VH I got asked about what angels I knew of by a customer. At first i thought we were still talking about books, but he corrected me and wanted to know what angels I knew. It was the first time I was stumped. I later thought of funny answers like: "Los" , or Nicholas Cage, or any other famous person who or sports team who played an angel. And so finally I said-i don't know what angels really exist. And he seemed offended. HE was like-you've never heard of Gabriel or blah blah blah. And I said-well yeah-I was raised Catholic-but I don't know what ones are actually out there-I'm sure there are-but quite honestly, I don't think they're all have names I'm gonna know. He didn't really like that-and I'm sitting here thinkin-I just came to work today! Why do I always get the weird ones? He left in a bit of a huff-maybe because I wasn't salivating at the thought of angels-but I just wanted to help the person behind him so I could go to lunch-I mean geesh! And if that was one of God's messengers (which i'm sure he thinks he was) well sorry God-but you might want to pick someone a little more socially ept to deliver your word. I mean-if Jesus was Jesus he had to be able to rally a crowd and speak in a way that made them believe.

I'm off to finish my Stephanie Meyer book Eclipse-for the 2nd time. I have now read all three books in the Twilight series-and am obsessed. Read them so quickly that I am rereading them. And will now crawl under a rock until August 2nd, whn the fourth book comes out, and when i will, Stephanie Meyer willing, read that Edward makes Bella a vampire and they live happily ever after! Cause if they're not together forever they both better be dead!!! Those are the only 2 options I'm willing to consider-and quite frankly, the latter is only because I'd rather they both be dead than Bella with Jacob. Yes I'm obsessed, but this is how I pass the time and escape this sometimes too stressful world.
