We've experienced the high 90s here. Pair this with a combo of air/noise pollution, humidity and peeps with an already bad attitude, well, it's been nightmarish here. Today, I was patiently waiting in line to give a tip to a service person, and the woman in front of me took umbrage that I chose to stand behind her! Um, that's what a line is supposed to look like!kylienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-74233053861238399292011-07-19T14:50:33.031-05:002011-07-19T14:50:33.031-05:00I totally heart the skirt Carolyn.

It's called staking your territory. lol Some people who frequent a certain store will get pretty dang bitchy if they think you are encroaching on their territory.
