Look out, Mary Kay! No, really...look out.

Today, during my lunch break, I ran to the grocery store to stock up on some trail mix ingredients (yes, I called them ingredients.  I'm allowed to do that if trail mix, salad, and cereal are the only things I cook!).  As I was hurriedly perusing the bins of mixed nuts and dried berries, a woman approached me and asked if she could talk to me for a bit.  I cautiously said yes.  She said that she noticed my preppy casual look (emphasis on the casual) and thought I might be a great face model for Mary Kay.  Now, I am well aware of the fact that she just wants me to buy and promote her product, but I was still flattered.  And while we had an awkward conversation amidst strangers and eavesdroppers, I couldn't help but think how cool I must look to everyone around me!  We exchanged information and then went our separate ways...she to the checkout, and I full force into the hanging scales.  That's right.  As I was walking away, putting Miss Mary Kay's business card in my wallet and smiling down at my stylish preppy casual shoes, I rammed my beautiful model face right into a giant metal bowl, and anyone who missed the sight of it surely heard the sound...a loud crashing metal discord immediately followed by my whimpering "ooooow!"  Yeah, I have a feeling the security guards will be reviewing those tapes for kicks and giggles.
