The Girl Who...
Ever since I read the Shopoholic series by Sophie Kinsella, I've secretly hoped to be affectionately referred to as "The Girl Who....." by some group of strangers that sees me on a regular basis. Possibly The Girl Who Wears Nice Shoes, or The Girl With The Cute Laugh (I realize I have a loud and obnoxious laugh and would therefore never be referred to as this, but I can still dream).

Anyway, today I found out that at Pacific Drugs on the corner of 1st and Marion I AM referred to as The Girl Who...only in a moment that probably was not unlike Becky Brandon's (nee Bloomwood) when she found out, after hoping to be referred to as The Girl With the White Coat, The Girl With the Angel Bag, or The Girl Who is Always Kind To Everyone She Meets (among many others), that she was in fact referred to at the quaint gift shop in her parent's town as The Girl With the Ugly Pram. Yes, today I found out I am known as The Girl Who Buys Lots of Candy. Although I can't argue it in sheer truthiness (they have such a variety! Ten flavors of Laffy Taffy, the elusive Jolly Joes, the good kind of cinnamon bears, lemonheads, etc., etc.), it is a little disappointing.

	You just gave me a new reason to come visit Seattle. Do they have Root T Toots? The rarest of the Mike 'n' Ike variety and so, so good. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I haven't seen them, but I will ask the cashier - whom I've become quite close with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you really think buying 2 for a dollar cinnamon bears would get you any other "the girl who" nickname? That is actually a pretty cute nickname. You could be "The Girl Who Is Wearing Tennies With A Skirt Because She Forgot Her Heels." Just saying....Hehe. I would KILL for Laffy Taffy. I just ate Sugar Babies. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You're right, it could have been so much worse - thanks for the perspective (I'm not even being sarcastic). Even though now I am even more paranoid about forgetting my shoes!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Them's some expensive cinnamon bears. But seeing as you cannot get cinnamon bears east of the Mississippi, I'd buy $20 worth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well it's actually two bags for a dollar...so maybe like 16 bears for a dollar. Haha. There is this website you can order almost any candy ever made from. I ordered Jennette candy from there when she was pregnant...Jolly Joes I believe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
