Yet another thing that would never have happened to me in Utah...

So last night I was planning on staying in, laying low because I didn't really want to participate in Halloween craziness. I just get nervous about going into cities on Halloween, because people feel that putting on a costume gives them a right to do stupid things...and frankly I wanted no part of that.

So I went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients for butternut squash soup instead. Well as I'm wandering around the store looking for Bisquick (not for the soup, for next weekend when Mandi visits), a guy stops me as I'm going down the tea aisle. Here is a rough transcript of the transaction

Random guy: Excuse miss are you looking for something...I don't work here...but I shop here...maybe I can help you (yes, said all in one breath).

Me: Yeah I can't find Bisquick. I mean right now I know I am in the tea aisle, but I'm trying to find the Bisquick aisle.

Random guy: What's Bisquick?

Me: You know pancakes, biscuits...bisquick.

Random guy: Yeeeahh...well I'm sure it's gotta be in these few aisles. So I'm sure you'll find. You're in your 20s right.

Me: Um, yes.

Random guy: Well I'm a little older (author's note...he was probably 45) but I you know am attracted to girl's with a figure. (Author's note: did he just call me fat??) And I'm pretty in shape for a guy my age...and I like women in shape. So maybe sometime we can get some coffee. Do you have a cell phone?

Me: Not on me

Random guy: Well maybe I can just get your number...you know so I can call you.

Me: Gives fake number

He walks away. End scene.

Umm yeah, so it was shortly after that incident that I decided I needed to not be a grandma and join my friends out for some Halloween festivities. Because I was not going to let that be the only eventful occurrence of the day. Because let's face it...when you get picked up in a grocery store but some guy telling you you have curves...I'm not sure it can get much lower than that.

So I went out and had a fantastic time dancing with my peeps.

And I can honestly say I never got picked up in a grocery store in Utah. And also, who doesn't know what Bisquick is!?
