You know you're in Sorority Girl Central when you find a bright pink car with Tinkerbell seat covers and a license plate reading "MYBAYB" outside your apartment. But it gets better...
Yes, the paint sparkles. SPARKLES. I didn't even know this was possible. I also wish I could put up the photo showing my friend's expression upon seeing this, but she'd probably hunt me down and cut me.
What's the bet that the pink car owner is also the type of person to buy aerosol pancake batter instead of, you know, arduously stirring together flour, milk, sugar, and an egg?
Giant mountain of ice in the Barracks Shopping Center parking lot, leftover from the pre-Christmas snowstorm. Charlottesville is looking at its third snowstorm since then this week - poor folks!
Please forgive me while I embrace my inner girly-girl. Seriously, people, the last time I wore a dress was my birthday - last May. I'm hoping this consitutes an acceptable follow-up.
Well, that doesn't leave many options with which to pay, does it?
Also, so that you all know that I’m still me and not just some girl prone to posting photos of herself in dressing rooms, here’s a story from my travels:
In Asheville, after going to the grocery store, I looked at my receipt and read the part where it gives the name of the person who served you.
Me in my head: Uscan? That’s an interesting name. I wonder what the origin is? And would it be pronounced “Oohs-can” or “Uhs-can”? Intriguing.
The next day, I bought more food (I like food). Again, I looked at my receipt.
Me in my head: Served by Uscan again! Fancy that! Uscan must be the store manager, though, as each time I’ve gone to that place I’ve used the self-check out.
*pause*
Me in my head: Oh. Wait. Uscan. U-scan. You-scan.
*sigh*
Yep. I’m awesome.
Tragic pink cars are one thing, but what the hell is that with the aerosol pancake batter? And exactly what sort of demographic are they going for? It’s ORGANIC. I like to imagine that the hippy clad, birkenstock wearing organic-eating types don’t want Aerosol anything, let alone aerosol pancake batter. And is the store “naturally good”?, there is nothing natural or good or naturally good about aerosol pancake batter. Ick. Nice dress BTW.
Big thumbs up on the dress. And we’ve been calling that lovely thing “Mt. Barracks.”
Hehe pink sparkle car? Surely that’s the car Barbie drives!
And that dress looks fab! 
The cars made my eyes widen a bit but aerosol pancake batter! Ha-whaaaa? America is an amazing place. Pretty dress by the way
and LOL at Uscan. It’s funny how your eyes read things sometimes.
Gorgeous dress!! I totally approve. Hope you bought it?
(I also do stupid things like that, although I normally say it out loud to someone else, and they look at me like I am a moron. Sigh)
Oh my gosh that car is something else hahaa! I do stuff like that too- but I usually don’t figure it out until I say it out loud to someone
Love the dress! Ick on the spray batter.
I bet Barbie is definitely the sort of person who would buy Organic pancake batter spray. Also, I’m horrified. And late to meet a friend. Crap!
(First off, I think I have a monopoly on L-named blog readers this week!
)
Louise: The wannabe-earth-mother-who’d-rather-get-a-manicure-than-prepare-meals-from-scratch-but-still-wants-to-gloat-about-her-chemical-free-lifestyle demographic? Whole Foods isn’t all bad, though!
Lauren: One day, you shall conquer the summit and claim it in the name of the L.L.Bibimbappers.
Lorraine: Thank you! And I’m pretty sure I saw Ken doing the walk of shame the next morning…
Laura: I almost felt I should own that car after putting a photo of myself in a dressing room on my blog
America is a wondrous, wondrous place!
Li: I did I did I did! It was one of those “slip it on YES” moments. I can pretend I’m all 60s in it…
Heather: You, Li and I should start an “idiotic statements anonymous” support club. With secret handshakes. And chocolate afternoon tea breaks.
Cate: Thank you! And I think we have consensus on the non-good of the batter. Won’t anyone stand up for the poor Blaster?
Camille: I just read your comment out to my friend and we both laughed and laughed. I promise I shan’t mind if you’re busy blogging and are late when it comes our future rendezvous
And if Barbie comes with Pancake Spray, do you think Bratz dolls would come with edible knickers?
Whipped cream bikinis, all the way.
With straps made of Twizzlers, I should hope.
Uscan…love it. We know what family YOU came from don’t we?
Hey there Hannah, thanks for visiting.
I read your post about odd things you eat which I found interesting! I did a photography project on foods and anthropology late last year.
I am also surprised that you could find those things! Come to think about it, I too eat some odd things I think other people don’t eat!
