Sell out with me tonight.

[leahbobet]

Due to a string of stunning coincidences, I ended up walking into work this morning with a Starbucks coffee of a more-than-five-word name* in one hand and my dry cleaning in the other.**

Yes. I picked up my dry cleaning on the way to work. I am a person who now has dry cleaning and walks with it industriously down busy downtown streets, slurping her fancy latte as she goes.

Today, I am a hilarious New York chick-lit stereotype. :D

*Insomnia! Slept a little late! Had to pick something up on the way in!
**I am reporting in the House twice this week and reporting a committee the day after those! My jacket smelled! It's dry clean only, and if I bring it here and leave it here, that's one less thing to worry about in the morning tomorrow!

I came into work laughing and I bet nobody gets why. :D

As long as you didn't stop to buy shoes...

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

There is actually a shoe store on the way from home to work, so I can in fact chalk that up as my personal virtue. *g*

Hee hee!

If you post an entry that includes the words 'eyebrow waxing,' 'brazilian,' or 'manolos,' I might have to unfriend you ;-p

Re: Hee hee!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I admit I had to look "manolos" up. >.>

Re: Hee hee!

[boywhocantsayno.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, even I know what manolos are. Didn't you ever watch "Sex And The City"? :P

Re: Hee hee!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

...um. Actually I never did.

I am perhaps a touch disengaged from the whole chick-lit culture thing.

Re: Hee hee!

[dlandon.livejournal.com]

There's hope for you yet! :)
I didn't watch SATC, either, but still managed to pick up on some of it's jargon through friends...
-D

See, all my friends are nerds! I'm so deprived.

[klingonguy.livejournal.com]

Surely you mean "Insomnia! Slept a little latte!"

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Urrrrgh.

[ringwoodcomics.livejournal.com]

But will you go for the rugged outdoorsman or the sophisticated billionaire!?

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

...oh, dahling, why's a girl have to choose?

[c0untmystars.livejournal.com]

I think the New York chick-lit stereotype would be carrying someone else's dry cleaning. :)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Heee -- this is true! But who's to know?

[sarcasm-hime.livejournal.com]

LOL. I don't think I've ever had anything drycleaned in my life. I think I have a few things piling up though....need to find some green-cleaner that's not too far.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

What with the Coming of the Office clothes, I now have a couple things that are dry clean only. And, well. My jacket. It didn't smell good.

[dichroic.livejournal.com]

My way of dealing with dry-cleaning may be even worse, or possibily a whole different stereotype. I try to buy mostly things that can be washed. My husband, on the other hand, has all those good wool slacks, and since he wears buttondown shirts every day he has them laundered at the cleaners instead of him (or me, I suppose, though that's unlikely) having to iron them. (*My* buttondown shirts are mostly of the type with both stretch and wrinkle-free properties.) so he has a lot more dry-cleanables than I do, and I can usually just get him to take a thing or two of mine when he goes. :-)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Alas, for this plan to work for me, I would first have to acquire a husband. Going to the dry cleaner's is perhaps a little easier. *g*

If imagined with the leaves of the trees starting to turn and the weather we've been having lately, that's actually a pretty pleasing image.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

It would have been pretty fun if it wasn't so windy; the bag kept blowing into my legs. Ah well. *g*

[kats-kradle.livejournal.com]

I'm going to admit I really hate wispy plastic on my legs so that sounds seriously annoying.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

It was a bit, yeah, but still a satisfying two and a half blocks of my life. *g*
