A Pair of Mildly Disturbing Moments...
**On Monday I had the day off. Since I've been feeling a little blase lately (as is typical for March) I declared the day to be "Erinn's Day of Spring Renewal." I did all those wonderful things that I normally don't have time to do, like going to the gym, getting my hair cut, and buying some new shirts. My sister met up with me at the mall, and we decided to stop at Express. Their clothes have become a bit too trendy for me, but my sister wanted to look. I was innocently browsing the racks when I saw something that made me stop in my tracks and gasp. STIRRUP PANTS! I had all but forgotten that disturbing late 80s-early 90s trend! This caused a sort of mini-quarter-life crisis moment, in that I realized I am now old enough to see fashion trends coming back around. Holy cats....**
**For some reason I always have trouble getting out of work on time on Thursdays. (Actually every day, but that's a whole nother story...) I usually end up leaving sometime between 5:45 and 6:00, which leaves me an extremely awkward window of time to drive through the tail end of rush hour traffic, make it home, manhandle my car into the garage, find something to eat, drive to church, and make it to choir by 7:00. Tonight I left much closer to the 6:00 hour than I might have liked, so I thought to myself, "You know what would be extremely delicious and non-stressful to prepare? Chipotle!" Since there is one fairly close to my church, it is a convenient place for me to occasionally stop and eat dinner. The first thing that I thought was a little odd was that the man who made my burrito bowl asked me where I had gotten my coat from. (I was wearing my hot pink pea coat, for anyone who is wondering) I thought to myself, "Does he want to go and buy one just like it?" Anyway, by the time I had explained where I had gotten my coat, I was at the end of the line and ready to pay. Imagine my surprise when the cashier said, "Where have you been?!?!? We haven't seen you in maybe two weeks!" I'm pretty sure I haven't been to that particular Chipotle location more than 6 or 8 times in my life, but perhaps this is a sign that I need to cut back on the old burritos. It is never a good sign when the burrito masters greet you like you're an old friend...**
