obviously I am rather...bold with words?
My sisters (those crazy gals) and I just repainted the huge place my parents call a bedroom (CEILING, WALLS (like 4 stinking coats) AND THE FLOOR - oh and the trim too) as an early birthday gift to my Mom. Hobby Lobby was our "little" decorating trip. *wink*
okay, what is more fun than a group of gals?! NOTHIN'. We stopped into Walmart and it was my job to go find bleach, coconut, and cornstarch. (yes - no joke!!)
As I was struggling with the two gallons of bleach in one hand, and my arms stuffed, I randomly looked up and saw this white fluffy, bearded man. He had these twinkling, smiling eyes. Just a normal shirt, work boots, a dirtyish looking tan, quite normal -- OH AND A KILT. YES. A KILT.
kilt
/kilt/
noun
- 1.a garment resembling a knee-length skirt of pleated tartan cloth, traditionally worn by men as part of Scottish Highland dress and now also worn by women and girls.
verb
- 1.gather (a garment or material) in vertical pleats."kilted skirts"
YES THAT EXACTLY *nods to google in approval*
He then looked at me and said "Good day, miss.", then he proceeded to walk into the baking aisle.
Bree and Sarah still don't believe me *scoffs in disbelief* My mom believes me -- I MEAN HOW COULD I MAKE IT UP? I'm not that great at storytelling -- yet. *wink*
Do YOU believe me??
How is day 1 of Camp NaNo going?

DeleteIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII DDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNT KNOW!! *moans* I MAY BECOME ADDICTED TO CAFFEINE AFTER THIS.
JULIA. THAT SHIRT YOU ARE WEARING. IS. AWESOME. ^^^^^^^^
ReplyDeleteThe whole kilt thing is rather strange... That would have been neat if he was playing the bagpipes. XD Now, that would have been extremely weird!
Camp NaNo is gonna be great! You got this girl! Your plot is awesome, you are awesome, so therefore YOUR GONNA DO AWESOME!! <3
AW THANK YOU! I got it from Goodwill the other day xD My dad read it and just did then just did this scoff chuckle. I was like "whaatt??!" "OH - it just such a Julia thing." I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT HE MEANS BY THAT.
DeleteBAGPIPES IN WALMART?? naaaaaaah. well - it's possible I suppose. :P WALMART IS WEIRD.
ACKK I wish you could do camp too <3 YOURE AWESOME
GOOD LUCK WITH NANO!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteXD Oh my goshhhh. At first it sounded like you were describing Santa Clause. SANTA IN A KILT
THANK YOU GRACE ANNE
Deletewooooooooooooooooahhh. Santa Clause shall never be the same O.o lol!
I totally believe you Julia! That is both so cool and a little weird.
ReplyDeleteNabila // Hot Town Cool Girl
A little weird -- YES! lol!!
DeleteWOW I WISH YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE AHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI THOUGHT THE SAME THING. BUUUUT. I had to keep on walking.. I WAS SO WEIRDED OUT lol
DeleteKilts make me slightly uncomfortable, I don't know what it is about them but I just can't! Really! Growing up is a trap- I want to be young forever! It's just easier than growing up! Have fun with camp NaNo!
ReplyDeleteYyyyyyyyyyyeaaah, I totally agree. They're just KINDA awkward. ;)
DeleteLet's stay young together! *fist bump* Thanks ;) Its been good today.. ;P
WHAT
ReplyDeleteWhat is this sorcery?!
Yes, I believe you, and I'm jealous! This magical kilt man sounds like he was on some kind of adventure in Walmart! You should somehow incorporate him into your NANO story lol :)
well, first off, HE WASNT MAGICAL. HE WAS REAL. *laughs* but, hmmm...yes he was. AND IN THE BAKING AREA. LIKE WHA? Hahaaa!!! That is so funny -- though my story is set in like the 1870s..so yeah, probably not. :P lol
DeleteI BELIEVE YOU! I mean, it's Walmart...ANYTHING can happen! :P

OH GOSH - how true. :P Walmart is insane. lol!!
DeleteOh my, I like that story of the man in the kilt. And I agree with Erin, you should include him in your book - he sounds like a real character. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, everything in the first photo - that motto, and your shirt.. that is what growing up is like sometimes. :P And how great that you found the shirt at Goodwill!
A real character for sure! I don't think I can fit him in though..unless he's some sort of mysterious man. :P lol!
Deletehahaa!! Thank you - I really like the shirt. xD IKR? ISNT GOODWILL AWESOME?!
I BELIEVE YOU!!!!!! Walmart.... bless its heart, I've seen some things there.... XD
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH YES!!! lol
DeleteI believe you, Julia!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a one-of-a-kind experience!
Yes, using that character in one of your books would be fabulous! I, personally, love to do that!!
Amelia xxxx
Totally a one of a kind experience -- kinda funny actually. :P lol
Deletehahaa!! I may try to work him in somehow ;)
First off, I just want to say how beautiful the photos in this post are. The colours all go together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm so excited for Camp NaNo. Day 3. How's your Camp going? Seems to really good so far. Also, if you don't mind me asking, what's your username? I'd love to check out your novel.
You saw a man in a kilt? What a shock that must have been. Sometimes you meet the strangest people in the strangest places, don't you? It's so annoying when people don't believe you though.
Gaahhh, Sophie - thank you!! <3 I borrowed Sarah's new FANTASTIC DSLR. ;P
DeleteIt's actually going really good!!! Ummm. I think I'm just Julia Ryan :P Let me look lol! Yup, that's me. :D
Hahaa!!! It was really a shock. But, I didn't find it disturbing actually. lol I thought it was interesting. :D
She got a DSLR? That's awesome! Which one did she get? What lens did she buy? The quality is beautiful.
DeleteThanks, I'll have to take a look!
IKR?! It really is awesome. xD Uuhh.. let me ask her *laughs* Canon Rebel T5 (and she called me a dope for not knowing xD lol!!!) and she has a 50mm lens and the kit lens.
DeleteHopefully you can find me!
