LuLu's Land of the Fey

All the news that bores the pants off anyone who cares.

So I saw this sign today that made me laugh, just a little. I was driving through Tyler, or as I like to call it, the 7th Ring of Hell, with my little sister. We passed this car wash. Not the fancy type where you pay your money and someone goes off in your car, taking it though the tunnel, and then wiping it down, vacuuming it, etc. This was just the tunnel part, and you did any wiping down and vacuuming yourself. Very self serve.
So anyway, we pass this place, and I happen to notice the marquee advertising the name of the place, etc. In big block letters after the name (which escapes me at the moment), the sign read,

WED--LADIES DAY
I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Do women get half price drinks while we wash our cars? Are we more at risk for being hit on by some Tony Manero type (ask your moms, girls--they can tell you who I'm talking about)? It just seems to take the whole ''Hey baby, what's your sign?'' thing to a whole new level. Am I still a Libra in this instance, or am I a Hyundai now? Is my new astrological sign, much more zippy than my former sign, compatible with my husband's more earnest and dependable Ford? Just some food for thought, but I'm wondering about how I'm going to avoid the seemingly obvious next development: Car Wash Flies.
''Sorry guys, but I've already got my O-ring.''

I'm home now, and can fully devote myself to this writing.

Oh, the pressure. Everyone seems so witty. I mean, Robert's blog is all philosophical and still used the word "shit." Will's tells about homeless guys raking leaves and leaving grocery carts and stealing rakes (not to mention that puking story). What do I have to say of import? Hell, who even uses the word import anymore when importance is so less confusing and non-archaic? (Why would anything I have to say deal with stuff coming into a country?)

Oy vey.

I don't even have any witty stories to tell from my classroom today. I'm drawing a complete blank. Sigh. Maybe later I'll remember something cool and post it then.

So everyone I know is blogging. Guess I'll give it a try, as well. Once upon a time, I wanted to be a writer, so this can't be that hard, can it? (insert irony fairies here)
Will enter more later, when not at work.
