while getting some new running shoes.. WHICH kills me that
1. I can do it ONLINE!!!!!! I MIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this so much..
2. I go to the nearest dept. store.. which is a very NICE one.. and the selection in my big 9 is ONE shoe.. I suppose all the other americans came up and bought the other 3 or 4 the store carried as I am sure the are not many japanese women this my AWESOME POWERFUL shoes size!!!! they might be big to you.. OHHHHHH but just look at what I can DO!!!
okay so I just dip over into the MENS sizes.. sweet better fit and selection.. PLUS you SOOOOO know that pink on that womens shoe was NOT going to cut it for me:)

ANYWAYS..the sales clerk.. I just WILL not be able to get over how they go ABOVE and BEYOND what I am used to.. and I know will suck when I start dealing with the norm in america.. HOWEVER.. it will be faster.. as seriously I can NOT communicate enough to say DUDE.. i am american.. NO WORRIES.. you do NOT need to have me stand here and lace and tie my shoes for me.. PROMISE.. then while she is doing this.. a customer.. walks by.. and the OZZY throws his big VERY engaging grin at her.. which dude no matter you mood.. if some one talks to you.. tells you a story.. you are ALLLL Over it.. even trues can capture you!!!!!!! ahhha no side track cause I could start going off more on you!!!!!!! SQUEEZE KISS YOU..
okay back to lady she says I want to hold him.. ( yes in japanese.. yes PROUD that I am able to communicate only feelings and VERY SIMPLE things.. still I get around)
but she wants to hold you.. which I think ok sure.. NOW the whole reason I tell this, is because i think it is interesting how strangers all the time want to hold the baby?? maybe they are not seen a lot and especially maybe not as engaging as you.. as someone looks you dead in the eyes... your going to melt.. and they will be putty in your hands!!!!! even when drool is spilling out of your mouth..
ALSO I find my self not busting out my camera.. as BEFORE my reaction would have been.. alright you can hold him.. but I am going to take pix..
maybe I was preoccupied with getting some shoes.. fast.. as I NEVER try and push trues and you.. more than 30 MINS in the store!!!!! I KNOW we all have limits:)
