do you ever have those moments when you realize a conversation just took a completely wrong turn?
and there is nothing you can do but to throw it in the awkward life moments box?
well i just had one of those at the post office.
living in a small town has its perks like getting to know everyone on a friendly level, even the post man.
he’s a pretty funny guy, that post man, and always makes fun (judges?) of me in a friendly way.
zappos box….”how many shoes DO you own?”
j.crew box…. “geez, another one?” 
it should be noted that i get extremely excited to pick up packages.  
especially when i don’t know what is in store.
Horny Toad sent me a mighty large package of clothing goodies and when i saw the size of the box, i couldn’t help but grin ear to ear.
me: “YESSSS!  i’ve been waiting for this!”
post man: “horny  toad……what are you getting into this time?”
me: “it’s for my blog” (proudly beaming)
post man: “what the hell is a blog?”
me: “um, you know, a personal website.  people send me stuff to wear and i take pictures in it.”
post man: blank stare.
me: blank stare.  this is the moment when i realized how sketchy this all sounds. 
my brain started racing on how i can fix this…
me: “if people like what they see, they can then buy it!!”
post man: “don’t worry.  i won’t judge.”
great comeback, meagan.
