The best moment of last night's trip to REI was putting these swanky new insoles inside my shoes and feeling less heel pain that very instant. It was with great joy and happy feet that I waltzed to the register to check out. On the way the worst moment of last night's trip to REI happened. I tried on a very suave looking ski/snowboard helmet. I liked the way it fit and know that if we do go skiing/snowboarding this year I will of course wear a helmet. After the concussion, I'm not fucking around. Anyway. I'm standing there wearing this very sporty helmet when Andrea comes by and starts laughing. Later she tells me how I reminded her of this retarded kid at her church who used to wear a helmet all the time.

Sometimes a girl just can't win.
