Overheard in Los Angeles


You just never know what you're going to hear...  

I was a busy girl this week, running all over town doing errands, shopping, schlepping and the likes.  In LaLaLand, aka Los Angeles, people say and do the craziest things.  And often times, they are totally obvious as to how loud they're actually talking!
  
Although I didn't mean to eavesdrop, here's what I overheard in my 'hood this week.  

"That ice cream will make my butt look fat tomorrow."
Twenty-something woman outside Cold Stone Creamery

"It's never too early to shop for Christmas!"

"Your tree is dead.  I hope it doesn't kill mine too."

"At @#$%^&! Disneyland?!?  Why aren't you at work?"

"It's so slow at the office, after lunch, I'm going to go sit in a stall in the men's room and take a nap."

"I've got to get my boobs done before the Emmy's-- I want to be a seat filler."

"Nice veins, I like your shoes too."
