Somebody’s gotta be interested in how I feel, just ’cause I’m here and I’m real.

When I’m Old Wednesday July 8, 2009

Filed under: when i'm old wednesday — Shaba @ 11:25 am

When I am old I will hang a big map in my living room, throw a dart, and pack my bags.

I will drink huge diet cokes, the straw covered in fire engine red lipstick, and peak out of big rhinestoned Jackie O sunglasses.

I will go on a search for the country’s best diner cheeseburger.

I will send post cards from chintzy road attractions that say things like “Met a transvestite mechanic. Shared lipstick tips. Having a blast! XOXO-Grandma” and “Grandpa got pulled over again. Tally is up to 5. I’ve made them into origami frogs, cranes, hearts, and boxes! Wear sunscreen! Love, Gran”

I will live by the seat of my purple polyester pants.

    Gotta agree, definitely one of the best WIOW. And I want to be on those trips with you, they sound AMAZING! Hahaha, I have complete confidence that you and I are going to be amazing old people.

  3. Bonus points if you take the trip in an old old Buick with one of those beaded seat covers. :)
