So there I was, trying to keep Maggie entertained while Arin was helping to "stimulate the economy"... in North Bend, when I see a security guard giving me a peculiar look. I tried to blend in and not draw attention to myself, but he kept staring at me. Now I'm getting nervous, because he obviously is interested in me for some reason. All I can think of is that I have been walking around with a two year old in a stroller who has no idea what 'shoplifting' is. "What could she have taken that I am now going to be in trouble for?"
The guard walked up to me and showed me a copy of Arin and my engagement picture from 10 years ago. Talk about a total surreal state of mind... 'Hey, I recognize that picture...' 'That's me and Arin...' 'Hey, what is this guy doing with our engagement picture?'
(this isn't it, but it is about as old and I forgot about this awesome picture when I was looking for the other one...) oh how long ago this roller coaster ride all started...
The security guard told me that it was left on the counter of one of the stores we were at earlier. he just happened to be riding his bike on patrol, and recognized me from that picture... it's a good thing that we didn't just go to the one store and take off. I just happened to be wandering around on the sidewalk with Maggie at the time he showed up... stalker? you be the judge... Maybe it was all part of his master plan.
So, the moral of the story is, either keep an updated picture of yourself in your wallet if you plan on leaving it on a counter somewhere that is can be picked up, or don't change the way you look from the most recent picture you have of yourself in your wallet. Maybe some of you need to either grow hair back, or get the hair crimpers and blue eye shadow out...
