It was a good commute, so no complaining today. Yay!

Funny thing (to me at least)...I was sitting at a stop light and this huge Chevy Tahoe pulled up behind me. I peaked in my rearview (I’ve been rear-ended a couple of times, so I’m still a little paranoid about that) and I had to laugh a little.

The lady reminded me of the older friend of Mary’s (Cameron Diaz) in There’s Something About Mary. She had this hee-yoog blonde hairdo, bleached and straw-like. She had these fire engine red acrylic talons on the ends of her bony fingers. She was tanned to that fine leathery shade of bronze with a scrawny neck that I was amazed could hold up her big head, until I realized that the hair made her head look deceptively large. And dangling from her ruby red lips was a cigarette with about an inch of ash clinging precariously from the unburned portion. That reminded me of the grandmother from Sixteen Candles (you know, when she making the pancakes and the other grandmother was holding the spatula under the ash to catch it).

Cracked me up...is that unkind of me?
