Keep Away!

I swear today was the last of Mrs. Nice Becks. Going forward, I'm going to be more assertive and direct towards strangers. Especially strangers who get all up in my baby girl's chili. Like the little old lady at the store today. I was checking out at the do it yourself lane and suddenly I turn around to see my child cowering under the form of this little old lady, who was a cross between Ollivander (Hallows version) and Cloris Leachman, who is so close there is no room between them, her scary old face up in my child's, and is caressing her arm saying, "Oohhhh, it's ok sweetie, Grammaw won't hurt you, it's ok. That's right. Yeeeess."  W  T  F? I tried to tell her nicely that she'd been sick and she shouldn't be so close. When that didn't work I abruptly pulled the cart away from her as she continued to mumble "yess..woooon't hurt you, that's right, grammaw, yesssss."


I just don't get why people have zero boundaries. She was old and probably mostly off her rocker, but still. Not acceptable. So uncomfortable. Why? Why do you need to get in my child's face and WHY GOD WHY do you need to touch her???? I wouldn't go up to you and do the same thing so randomly! Just because she is a gorgeous child, and that you've probably seen & been involved with many over your long life, doesn't mean it gives you a license to treat every child you see like they are your own flesh and blood sitting there asking for your attention. I got the heebie jeebs then and I'm getting them again just talking about it.


Both my Leu and I are scarred for life after that one.......










Here are my happy thoughts of the day: 


A) We made Rice Krispy Treats. At one point Leu slipped and it came out Rice Christmas Trees. LOL! It was so cute I started calling them that, but Miss Perfect kept telling me to, "Stoooop mom they are called Rice Krispy Treats!"


2) Right this very moment I've discovered Cake Boss. Nothing else was on and I needed some background noise so I flipped it to this channel. Um, I'm glad I can type well because I'm seriously typing and watching the show at the same time. How have I not known how great this show is? 


3) Castle is back on tonight. Nuff said.


Also, I've not posted any pics yet and feel that is a semi-epic failure seeing how I'm a photographer and all. Here is one I just took for kicks and giggles.
