two things or too things
Court, Emilie, and myself had a meeting of the minds last nite!
we ate sushi, did some shopping, acted like we weren't totally strapped for cash, and then came home and watched a movie- Sister's of '77 (documentary about the 1st womyn's conference in Houston- really neat!!!).
so we're sitting around talking and Court reminded me of a starbucks story that i had not thought of in years!!!
imagine, if you will, standing in line at a north dallas starbucks. and i think it was a saturday or sunday or something- not a day that required one to look their best- but everyone (everyone but me....) looks up to north dallas par. this woman standing behind me in line is talking about her husband or something...
she and her cohort are conversing and she says: "well, there's two things i cannot stand... bigots, and mess-kins" (translation: mess-kins means mex-uh-cuns for those not fluent in 'south'). with that i find myself delighted at a true irony of not liking those that discriminate AND not liking those that differ from themselves.
and with that i feel that that story quantifies the love/hate relationship that i have with starbucks- hating bigots and mexicans. so i had to wonder did she mean that there are two (as in 1...2) things she can't stand OR too (as in very or also) things? because ultimately- it lends itself to still NOT MAKING SENSE IN ANY WAY!
goodtimes.... goodtimes when you just listen at a starbucks- makes that $5 cup a coffee worth it when it comes with free entertainment!
