A taser?

When Tyson and I first found out we were going to be moving to Pittsburgh I was petrified. Why? Well it's a big city, and I'm a naive little Utah mormon girl. I was scared someone was going to mug me, or kidnap me, or something. (Besides being a Naive Utah mormon girl I think I also watch WAY to many CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Law and Order shows....because honestly I've visited places and I would like to think that I'm actually very cultured for being a small town girl.) Since I was so scared I told Tyson that I wanted to keep pepper spray in my purse. (However now that I think about it. IF i was mugged, how would I get the spray out of my purse, and odds are that it would end up exploding in my purse for some odd reason.) We thought about it, but then Ty talked me out of it, (good thing) then he saw online a pink taser and decided that's what I needed. Don't worry...He was kidding, slightly teasing me and I really don't carry a taser in my purse.

Today was my first day at the Branch I will be working at. I took Tyson to school and then headed off to the branch. I wasn't supposed to be there until 8:30...and it was 8:10. So I parked my car and decided that I would go find a little store that would sell me a water bottle. (I needed a water bottle becase they don't have water towers...you know the things that hold the BIG water bottles and then you pull a little blue thing and water comes out. like Mountain Olympus does them. Anyways they don't have those. Instead they supply the branches with coffee and tea machines. Welp as much as I like the smell of Coffee I don't drink it.) As I'm walking down the street in my "professional banking clothes" (which by the way the street is like downtown historical 25th street in Ogden. One lane roads each way with meter parking on the side.) Anywo I'm walking along, loving it that the sun is finally out again (after a 5 day nonstop freezing rainstorm) and enjoying the idea of fall. (I just LOVE fall.) All of a sudden this car is stoped in the middle of the road and is honking. "What the?" I think. So I look over. Common who isn't curious about commotions? (Although you'd think I'd be used to honking after living in Pittsburgh for 3 months. They honk at, over, because of, EVERYTING. So really why I looked I don't know...) All of a sudden I get a creeper of a guy looking at me saying "hey where can I find a cutie like you? You're what I'm needing at home!" (creeper guy being like 40 years old.) So I look at him. Totally stuned that someone would do that, and then I do what I'm famous for. . . I rolled my eyes at him. Perve. I then walked into the next store got myself a water and headed back for the branch. I didn't really care that I was going to be 15 Minutes early. After that experience I will no longer be walking alone. Which is sad because I was kinda looking forward to walking to work and home from work come the spring and summer warmer months. Oh Well. That or I'm going to have to order that taser, and pepper spray.

P.S. while I was looking up pictures of Pink Tasers to find the one Ty showed me a couple months ago, I found the new one I wanted. Common isn't it like Fantastic? It'd totally throw me off...it'd just suck BIG TIME if you confused it for the real things.... ;)
