There comes a time in a day, when I'm tired or down and I find myself realizing something that I have done, I replay it in my mind and I find myself laughing...before I know it I feel way better! It's good when you like yourself. I am quite hard on myself sometimes, but most of time it's balanced with my stand up routine in my head...I'm the audience too. Today it was when I went to the ladies room and realized I was wearing my underwear inside out. This lead me to the other time...very similar a few years ago...hence the comedy routine....one act leads to another and wa la my moment of self pity is turned around 180!
I was walking into Starbucks and feeling quite flirty and confident. A European guy sitting at a nearby table...interrupted my "me" party to ask me a few questions. I thought oh he's flirting with me...and he's foreign (I felt flattered). He was a very small and wiry man...not my type...but for some reason it was still a compliment that a foreign man flirted with me...(probably happens to other women as well)...
So every compliment and comment I take with a grain of salt but I devour them never the less! I proceed into the shop to get my daily I.V. of cafe de latte. On the way out he continues to try to have a conversation, so I oblige by stopping and chatting for a few minutes. I think, "oh this is great to meet people who are nice in this town"...as the conversation continues I realize that this guy is a slick talker (but with a great accent) that is like every other parasite in this lovely city, so I excuse myself nicely and continue on to my car. As I get in and do a quick check "me" out in the mirror to congratulate myself on seeing through this person's attempt at being genuine. I notice something weird about my sweater...I then open the mirror on the visor to see myself a little bit better...
My Sweater Was Inside Out!! with the tag and seam hanging out...I know it doesn't sound all that bad...and believe me it wasn't, it was just hilarious in my head...it was just one of those moments where humility, confidence and comedy all had a party in my head...I can only laugh every time something like this happens.
