Great snippets of conversation I've heard today:

1. A woman I do yoga with talking about her 4 year old grandson: "Liam said, 'Red means stop. Green means go. Pink means princess crossing.'" She proceeded to tell me he asked for (and received) a princess costume for his 4th birthday and wants to know why girls get to wear sparkles and boys don't. I agree, it's just not fair! What a cool kid--with great parents!

2. While I was riding my bike to the gym to work today a cute old man called to me while he was walking: "Hey! You're riding right into my heart!" He was old and may or may not have been homeless, but it was nice either way!

3. Today was my first day back at work since LA and I was so excited to see my people! They were excited to see me too (I think!) and one of my guys in my classes asked me if I'm going to be leaving them soon to flee to LA. I said no, I actually finally decided that I have a bit of a plan and hope to stay around for the next two years. I told him how I'd like to travel some and find out where I want to end up. He asked if I'll be moving to LA in two years and I said probably not, while I have to be somewhere by the water, it doesn't get hot enough there. Larry then proceeded to tell me, "Well, Erin, when you fall in love and get married, you can't make that be a stipulation on your marriage. You can't say I won't marry you unless there's a lake or the ocean nearby. You just have to be happy and in love." I don't know how discussions of my future always end with me having to get married, but it's nice that he thinks I'm marriage material haha!

4. I follow Chad Johnson on Twitter. Love him. Tonight he tweeted: "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIND YOUR WIFEY THRU TWITTER! #stopit. My response: Word. 


5. Crap! I forgot to add, before asking me if I'd be leaving my job for boys in California, I met the guy from my class on the way into the club. I had rode my bike and had a dent on my nose from my sunglasses. He asked me what happened to your face?! Did your boyfriend beat you up? Not that domestic abuse is funny, and no, no one beats me up, but I did think it was funny that he said that and then was worried about me falling in love.
