I was snubbed today. I pretty sure I was snubbed anyway. I stood there, waiting and waiting and waiting.... and I was ignored.
Snubbed.
But never mind because I discovered TWO tomatoes on my
yellow cherry tomato vine. I can hardly wait.
Hardy wait.
I was so excited, I took this blurry photo of the perfect fruit. In fact, this may be a tomato that you would like,
Chair. They aren't as acidic as regular tomatoes.
Actually, I have no idea why I feel the need to find you a tomato that you will enjoy. There must be some old Italian Mama inside me.
Speaking of the force-feeding Italian stereotype, I remember performing a piano duet with an Italian girl when I was young. She decided that we both had to wear baby blue to the performance because her skin looked good in baby blue. My only baby blue dress was incredibly too small for me. It was too small because her mother kept feeding me cookies whenever I went over to her house to practice (I like to blame my weight on other people). She didn't speak English, but I understood what a plate of cookies in my face meant.
Ah, the universal language of
force-feeding, I mean, cookies.
Nevertheless, squeezing into that baby blue dress resulted in finishing the song at the concert without being able to feel any of my fingers. The arm pit holes were cutting off the circulation to my chubbed up arms.
We still got a trophy though.
I'd scan in the picture of the two of us but it's slightly pornographic. The dress was stretched t-h-i-n and my friends weren't into the whole "bra scene" quite yet - ifyouknowwhatimean.
My mother showed a lot of restraint letting me on stage wearing that dress. Of course, what coud happen at a piano recital held in a Christian Reform Elementary school gymnasium?
Why did I feel that I needed to add in the fact that I won?
Pathetic.
However, I think I may have used up all my winning karma before I hit high-school. Since then, my track record has been dismal.
This is my way of telling you I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week.
This has nothing to do with the snub. The snub is laughable and something I just wrote to start me writing tonight.
Unfortunately, missing out on an extra $268.00 a month isn't as funny.
Ah well.
Onward and upward.

Rats! O well like you say onward and upward. Is there anything as good as fresh garden tomatoes?
