Have you ever just listened to people around you in a public place?
Since I have to find free WiFi for the time being I have to keep visiting places to sit (hopefully quietly) and look at Pinterest, my Esty, Facebook and then here my blog friends.
Well in my little town there is no place peaceful. McDonalds just doesn't get it.
Today I am at Barnes and Noble. The people in the Cafe are talking quietly but I have heard so many interesting conversations.
Two men in front of me- In what I thought were military uniforms, speaking what sounds like French?
Maybe they are pilots.
We do have both an airport and a military base in Dayton.
Just odd to hear another language except Mexican here.
We won't go there will we.
An older couple beside me-She says to her husband after they finish their coffee, "So what do you want to do now?" They were so cute I had to speak to them. I said "The only thing to do on a rainy day is shop or nap." He said he wanted to nap. She wanted to shop. LOL. I told her she had 1 hour to buy something bright and fun then they had to go home for a nap!
I love talking to complete strangers.
A couple of women beside me- "Suzie turned out well, but...."
I stopped listening, don't want to hear gossip.
I just looked over at the coffee counter an a woman has at least 12 books in her arms. I hope she puts them all back when she is done looking at them. I HATE it when people bring magazines into the cafe area and then just leave them for the workers.
"Isn't that what they are paid for?"
No! They are paid to make coffee not clean up after you!
Sorry, I just had to get on my soap box for a minute.
Well I am really going to make an effort to post 1 time a week throughout December. Things are getting into a rhythm now and I can make time to think a bit these days.
I am really hoping we can afford to get the Internet thing to plug into the laptop soon. I miss keeping up here daily.
Have a great week and pay attention to people around you, they can be lots of fun!
It's so fun to hear from you! I love to watch people too!
