I love summer!

So, Friday night Lonely Girl and I hung out in this tiny little tourist area south of Miami called Cauley Square listening to a band that played classic rock music.  Lonely Girl was in rare form and somehow managed to convince the band that it was her birthday and got them to play a special song for her and then continue to give her shout outs for the rest of the night.  It was so much fun! 

On Saturday, I went to a local car museum with my photography group.  It was awesome!  Hopefully, I got some great shots.  Sadly, I haven't even looked at them yet.  lol!  I still haven't found the time to check out my photos from the tattoo convention yet either.  It's summer and I'm not sure where all my time is going, but it sure is going fast.

Sunday was all about Orange Croc Guy.  He held me hostage for most of the day doing Orange Croc Guy kind of things and reminding me that I still owe him a homecooked dinner.  He has no idea that the oven is fixed and in great working order and I have no plans to tell him anytime soon.

OCG will be heading to New Jersey next week and will be gone until sometime in August.  I wonder if he'll still believe the oven is broken in August?  lol!

The highlight of my Monday was running to the Post Office to mail a package.  Seriously!  I woke up around 9:30 grabbed some breakfast and headed out to run my errands.  I was back home in just a couple of hours and I'm not sure what happened to the rest of the day cause when I looked at the clock it was suddenly 9:30 PM and I was starting to think about going to bed again.  lol!

Life on summer vacation is good!

Don't call me Shirley!

Download word art here

I've got an older neighbor that thinks my name is Shirley.  I'm not sure how I introduced myself as Ginger and he heard Shirley, but he did.  He's very friendly and every time he sees me he says something like, "Hi Miss Shirley" or "It's good to see you Miss Shirley"  or "How are things going Miss Shirley"

He's a sweet guy and not someone who would call me the wrong name on purpose, but here's the problem---Like I said, he's older and so I don't always understand what he's saying, so by the time I figured out he was calling me "Shirley" it felt like too much time had passed to correct him.  So, the guy still thinks my name is Shirley.

Tonight, OCG and I were headed out for a walk and we pass the older neighbor who waves and says, "Hi Miss Shirley."  I said hi  back and we walked off, but OCG was very confused because it was the first time he had heard the exchange.

OCG:  What did he call you?
ME:  Shirley
OCG: Why?
ME: He thinks that's my name
OCG: Did you tell him your name was Shirley?
ME:  Nope
OCG: Why don't you tell him your real name?
ME:  I don't want to embarrass him.
OCG:  Don't you think it's going to be worse as more time passes and he continues to call you the wrong name before he finds out.
ME:  Nope
OCG: How is that possible?
ME:  Because I don't plan on ever telling him.
OCG: Why?
ME:  I told you. I don't want to embarrass him!


Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about this?  Does anyone remember it?  How did it end?
