First or Second Chances

Today was successful for two reasons. I finally took a photo to put on this blog, and I didn't embarrass myself in front of a celebrity.

Cardigan: Old Navy, $15
Tanks: Mitzi & Romano, $30
Belt: Levi's via Lucky Exchange, $8
Jeans: Level 99 via Ross, $5
Shoes: Hive & Honey via Piperlime, $15
Weird Smile: Via too many photographs taken of me as child

I went to Richard Blais' new hot dog restaurant (I know, a hot dog restaurant! I am as excited as you are) and he literally came close enough to me on several occasions that I could have poked him. This gave me the urge to giggle uncontrollably and yell out things like "I LOVED YOU ON TV," but I didn't. And I didn't poke him. I did get pretty concerned when I realized that he was personally talking to each customer, and at some point he would talk to me. He asked me and my fiance how our food was, and I said "delicious," and he said "thanks for hanging out," which was cool and now I have officially hung out with Richard Blais for like 5 seconds where I acted like a normal person. The last two times I saw Richard Blais were celebrity-sighting catastrophes. I saw him in Publix, and thinking I was whispering to my fiance, screamed out, "THAT's Richard Blais!!!" and ran away when my fiance explained to me I was screaming. I basically ran headfirst into Richard Blais in the next aisle. And the aisle after that. And the checkout line. As I was trying to exit the store to just get out of there and stop embarrassing myself. A year before that I saw him at Atlanta's best pizza parlor, and did a weird sign-language show for my friends trying to demonstrate to them that Richard Blais was sitting just a few feet away and kept heavily eying them and then him. He probably thought I was trying to do matchmaking with my mind.

Anyways, let me show you my shoes up close. You were probably worrying you wouldn't be able to see them up close because my fiance took such a bad picture of me. It's not my fault for not being photogenic or being able to pose. I am not sure I am watching enough top model reruns.
