Excuse Me Miss, Is This Tangerine Bothering You?

We went shopping today, and Ryan re-discovered the color orange. Apparently he thought the universe had discontinued it or something, because he was so shocked at it's re-emergence that while shopping for school clothes he bought TONS of orange stuff.

Now, I have learned since we got married that Ryan, like most non gay or metrosexual men, does not care for shopping. So when I can get him to go, I run with it. When he picks out clothes, I just let him be. I tried to suggest other colors ("How about blue? They have blue now, too!") but he has a new orange fixation. Which is okay, I guess. I will look like I'm walking around with a large tangerine, but it's a tangerine that I love.

After shopping, we're sitting in traffic, and he says to me, "That's a cool truck." Any guesses as to what horrible color this truck was? Yes. Orange. I just gave him a look that said, "Over my dead body."

YOU HAVE GOT TO DRAW THE ORANGE LINE SOMEWHERE.

Well... maybe you've got to draw the line somewhere, but Orange Mike doesn't. I love that dude! (http://www.uwm.edu/People/orangest/)

About Me

I'm Annie, known here and there and everywhere as shoesonwrong. Well, mostly just here. I try to make funny jokes at twitter, my pictures are on flickr, and I post things I find on tumblr.

I've been blogging here since 2005, so there's a decent amount of content. If the archives don't interest you, however, you can peruse my books or music. Or you could even email me; I usually write back -- especially if you're in the state penitentiary and tell me I'm pretty.
