Morning, Ya'll!
We all know that the lovely Ms. Julie is off maxin' and relaxin' while most of us are in our little cubicles waiting for 5 PM to get here. I am in no way jealous of our pretty lady. I just miss her. Julie has become a fast and furious friend of mine. Although I am about 10 years her junior senior, we still click as if we are the same age and have known one another all of our lives. She has been there for me since Day 1 of finding my blog and I try to do the same for her. All I know is that I am the lucky one. X's & O's to you, Julie Bobulie!
Oh! Who am I? I am Summer from well, which blog should I mention? I have my main one - B is for Brown and then my making/adopting a baby blog , the HofDs and then my cakes. Take your pick!

So, I have been racking my brain about what to write. Do I make Julie's followers think? Sure, why not? It won't be deep or anything, mostly entertaining. We need something light and airy today. Which is exactly what my mind is like sometimes. HA!
I started to think about random encounters that affect me in some way or another. I wrote this post on my blog awhile back. Please read and then I will get to my point, after you are finished. How does that sound? Good? GREAT!
viai never go to starbucks. never.
this am, after i was done with my appt., i decided i needed a little reward. i needed a grande iced chai tea. delish.
i was walking in and a gentleman with a cowboy hat opened the door for me. i thanked him. he then let me go in front of him in line.
***
then he struck up a convo and here is it...
starbucks man: i love the saints too. ok, he sees the "i'm a SAINTS FAN-atic" Garfield pin on my bag.
summer girl: oh yeah? are you from louisiana?
summer girl: oh yeah? are you from louisiana?
starbucks man: nope, texas. houston.
summer girl: oh yeah, i know houston well.
starbucks man: i am really good friends with sean peyton (NoLa Saints head coach)
summer girl: wow. he is a great guy, i hear.
starbucks man: he let us get married on his estate...blah. blah. blah. see my ring? (shows me his wedding band and the fleur de lis in the middle)
summer girl: (i show him my fleur tat, he says, you are a bigger fan than me, then) nice. i got married in NoLa too. the Elms Mansion. you live here in nyc?
starbucks man: no, here for business.
summer girl to the starbucks lady: thank you.
starbucks man: oh, do you want a holder so you don't burn your hand?
summer girl: no thank you. this is an ICED chai tea.
starbucks man: let me get the door for you. so, i just came from the Martha Stewart show.
she is great.
she is great.
summer girl: oh yeah? everyone wants to be martha. my old pr firm worked her jail dealio.
starbucks man: oh yeah? what is your name?
summer girl: oh, sorry. summer.
starbucks man: i am clay. clay walker. pause. nice to meet you. which way are you going?
summer girl: this way. nice to meet you. have a good one. geaux saints!
so, people - this man is a famous country music star and i had no flippin clue. none.at.all. i feel bad now bc i kinda thought (for a sec) that he was a big deal with the cowboy hat and private car waiting and business at Martha Stewart but...i was not going to entertain the convo anymore bc i needed to be on my way.
so... i got to meet clay walker -- for all of you country music fans out there. nice guy.

Done? Good.
I am Southern (like our Julie), but much further down, closer to the gulf. You know, where all the oil is? Yea, I am from Louisiana. That being said I should have known this guy was somebody. My excuse why I did not? I live in NYC and I don't have a car so I cannot flip through the stations and listen to country or rock in roll. So, I kinda miss out on a lot of new and old music. And...I may not be THAT much into the country scene. I know. I know. I am sorry.
This made me realize something. Living in such a big city, I have had a lot of random things happen. Some I would like to forget and some I will always remember. But what I need to do is take out my earbuds and listen a little more bc maybe it could be the sign I am waiting for. You know? There really is so much beauty around us. I need to stop and smell the flowers instead of stepping on them.
Belles: tell me a random run-in or thing that has happened to you that you will never forget.
Good or Bad? You decide.
I cannot wait to read your comments.
Thanks for having me,
Summer B.
