Who needs enemies when I have my best friend

Blimey! It has been a bloody beautiful day today. I was chuffed to bits when I woke up this morning full of beans and not feeling knackered! Okay enough of that waffle, let's take a shufti at the daily list of random.

1.) Unless you live under a rock, you know that today was the Royal wedding. In honor of this momentous and slightly useless occasion, I wrote my greeting in British slang. I had planned to write the whole blog that way but the greeting took me 20 minutes, and I'm not sure if I used the words right.

2.) This week's Reader of the Week is.....Teresa Fisher! Ms. Teresa really came through for me on Wednesday. I had to work third shift on Tuesday night so she did my Meals on Wheels route for me in the pouring rain! Ms. Teresa your reward for being the ROTW is a free pass on your Monday route. If you ever need me to do it for you I'm available! You're welcome!

3.) Today is Fun Fact Friday! Contain your excitement! Here it is....

Today's blog is going to be about my adventure to Rivergate mall today. About a month ago I received a coupon in the mail for a free underwear from Victoria Secret. If you know me, you know that "free" is my favorite word. You can imagine my dismay when I realized last week that my precious coupon was expiring! I formulated a plan to spend $15.00 in gas to redeem my free pair of underwear today. Don't judge my logic. I needed running shoes too!

I decided instead to invite my best friend, Cory, and force him to drive thus saving my money. He needed jeans and a t-shirt anyway so I'm not that bad of a person. After a quick Google consultation, it was decided that Rivergate was indeed closer than Stones River. So off we go to Rivergate, or the Ghetto Mall. This is when we encountered our first adventure. The youngster beside us in a teal green Saturn with an obnoxious muffler that sounded like it was "tooting" decided that he wanted to race. Why? I don't know. 

So the guy drives by and has his window rolled down. He gives the "let's do this" head nod. We in turn give him the "you're a dork" head shake. The guy then proceeds to speed off in search of another car to race. Cory, not to be outdone by a 19-year-old, proceeds to go 100mph down Old Hickory Blvd until he does a "fly-by" of this guy in the Saturn. Everyone remember my fear of bridges? Okay now imagine my fear as we fly over that old bridge on OHB. I'm pretty sure I left an indention of my fingers on the arm rest.

The Saturn guy wasn't going to let it rest though. He weaved in and out of traffic until he was able to fly by us with one last nod of the head and a "toot" of his muffler. He thought he was cool and that's all that mattered. 

So we made it to Rivergate unscathed. I needed some running shoes so I went in Champs in search of them. As we were walking out of Champs (empty handed) a couple walked out of the "urban" store. They were odd right off the bat. She was a large girl with corn rows and he was a very skinny guy with saggy jeans. But it didn't stop there. He had tight rolled the bottom of his baggy jeans. Yes, you read that correctly. A.) Who tight rolls jeans anymore and B.) who tight rolls saggy/baggy jeans? We followed them for a few minutes attempting to take pictures. This is the best one we could get.

If you squint you can see that they are tight rolled just above the ankle and then the bottom is flipped up. He had a good 6 inches of ankle showing and about the same amount of boxers showing at the top. I think him and his girlfriend heard the camera because they became dodgy and wouldn't stand still for a picture. 

Sadly, I left the mall with only my free underwear and a blurry picture of a stranger's jeans. None of the shoe stores had my shoes! But at least I didn't waste money on gas! Oh and did I mention that I almost died? My "best friend" decided to pass gas, get out of the car, and then locked me inside. It was awful. My life flashed before my eyes. 

And that ends my adventure to Rivergate Mall. The moral of the story is "no matter how much gas you will save or how fearful you are of driving in heavy traffic, never take a man-child to a mall."
