Ask and ye shall get.

Boy it's hot, its gone up a notch 92 at the last check and although its only been like this for one day I'm already complaining!
Why is that? we complain when its cold, we complain when its hot!
I nearly ran someone over, it just gets silly on the roads, people drive badly people take their tops off, people walk in the road looking the other way!! silly man.

So because its so HOT my hair is a state, frizzy freaky mess! humidity + no hair straigteners (mine don't work here) oh and the fact I cut my own fringe (bangs) = BAD HAIR DAY, so I head over to the wonderful Wegmans to see if they have any products to help!
Standing infront of all the hair products I was stuck, row upon row of bottles how am I supposed to know which to buy, the man stacking the shelves asked if he could help, I said no, he's a man, he probably doesn't even use a particular shampoo, anyhow he starts talking ...where's your accent from its so cute is it Australian? yada yada, then as he leaves he says 'do you need any help finding anything?' so I think why not, my hairs a frizzy mess and I need something to help?
He goes straight over to 2 particular brands and says since its hotted up these are the ones that are being restocked the most and they say frizz ease! wow helpful!
Now I have relatively stright frizz free hair! - pays to ask!

My next outing was to get some sort of cooling equipment for the apartment as the ONE airconditioning unit we have only cools the lounge and the bedrooms are like sauna's.
So I trek down to Walmart at 9pm to have a browse, and while looking at the various fans from $15 to $75 I think, how am I supposed to choose, I mean I can't choose what clothes to wear, what to cook, what shampoo to buy! I'm just rubbish given a choice.
Then in walks a man with determination on his face, walks right up to the stand walks along and picks up his fan and starts to walk away, I asked 'how do you which one to buy?' ahh he'd checked them out earlier in another store and saw them working this one was the best! wow, so he even helped me with it into my trolley and said if I carried on talking he'd be handing out his number to me I was soooo cute! (even with frizzy hair -- i hadn'd used my new shampoo by then) - pays to ask again!

Another thought struck me when walking around Walmart at 9.30pm on a friday night with all those other people and their air cooling units and fans, after being offered a number, then a guy strikes up conversation about the fan in my trolley and another guy winked at me.....maybe if you are single the best place to come on a friday night is Walmart, and how easy is it to strike up a converation about a fan? got to be worth a try eh?
