“I used to have an adopted granddaughter named Stephanie, till her mom decided not to adopt her anymore. Poor kid.”Cashier at the tire shop, who apparently felt the need to tell me his life story this morning

Oh my gosh. In 1996, during the Olympics with Kerri Strug et al, I became obsessed with not only gymnastics in general, but also rhythmic gymnastics. Being already 10 and unable to even do a cartwheel (still can’t), I thought rhythmic gymnastics would be the perfect way for me to realize my gold-medal dreams, as there’s less tumbling and more ribbon-twirling involved. Sadly, no gyms or studios in my area offered classes in the sport.
Anyway, I would have been all over this Ribbon Dancer Performance Set.
Sidenote: For a long time, Luke thought it was called “ribbon gymnastics.” He still likes to pretend-argue with me about this issue.

Guess what just came on my Pandora? Today’s lookin’ up.
(I should add that I’m listening to my “Fall” station. Wishful thinking, I know; summer here basically lasts till October. Sigh.)

“To be perfectly honest, Stephanie, I don’t think our maintenance guy will be able to get out there today because you’re just now calling at 4:00.”
Receptionist at my landlord’s office just now.
Now wait a hot second.
I made a polite request that was not at all urgent, and I didn’t make any indication that they needed to come out ZOMGTODAY. If it were urgent, I probably would have called before 4 p.m.
What is it about landlords that make them the pissiest people on earth? Is it just that they have to put up with so much crap from bad tenants? I can understand that, but it ought to make them be extra nice to good tenants like me. Calm down, lady. Don’t make me feel like a massive inconvenience every time I call because our door won’t lock*, which I would think you might care about a little.
* Please don’t rob me. It actually does lock from the inside, so we just go out the back door after locking it. Oh, and this is the third time this has happened, meaning they probably should be looking at replacing the whole door or something, but it’ll be a cold day in hell when that happens.

Luke’s been re-watching most of the series this summer. I ask you, have there ever been two more beautiful people co-starring on a TV show?
Also, the episode “X-Cops” is pretty much the greatest thing of all time.
