missed connection monday

A late night post so I hope you’ve all had a great Monday. I’ve been napping a lot today. I hope I’m not coming down with something. I keep hearing about an intense flu and another Covid three times as bad as the original Covid. I would like none of those things. Being sick is not how I’m choosing to start out this new year.
This meme is exactly how I’m feeling at the moment.

So. Before I get into my favorite serial killer hunting ground “Missed Connection” posts on Craigslist I thought I’d post a definition of the word connection.

connection noun
something that connects: link

But Mimi, we all know what the word connection means. Hhhhmmm. We may all know but the freaks on Craigslist clearly do not…

SLIM BLONDE WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS WALKING IN FRONT OF THE SALVATION ARMY
On Monday December 30, around 2:15, I was getting something from my car, parked in front of the salvation army shelter on …blah, blah, blah… ave South. You and your little kids walked by and you looked and gave me such a nice smile. I tried to say hi, but my voice was muted. At least I smiled back. Hope to see you again there.
**** Dear author of this posting. She fucking smiled at you. There was no missed connection. Desperate much?
**** Dear Slim Blonde. Find another route to wherever it was you were walking to or from. This guy’s a creeper.

OLDER GENTLEMEN ON THE GREENBELT
Hi we crossed paths a few times, hoping you played on the same team
**** Dear author of this post. Crossing paths is not a missed connection. It’s people out fucking walking passing each other on the trails.
Also, “gentleMEN?” Were you wondering if they all played on the same team or they were the team? How many paths did you cross?

THE GIRL AT THE CO-OP
You were wearing jeans with a red top and shopping in the frozen goods section. You had a blonde female friend with you. You asked me to get a pack of chocolate pretzels from the top shelf for you. We locked eyes and you gave me a big smile and thanked me. It could have been nothing but we should have talked longer and gotten to know each other.
**** Dear clueless fucking author of this post. Miss jeans with the red top was fucking shopping… In a grocery store… Your grocery store… The one you fucking work at! Seriously. She’s just a customer asking for help with something off of the top shelf. She smiled and said thank you because that’s what people do when someone has helped them. This isn’t P. Diddy code for let’s have a freak party in aisle 7 with the baby oil. And “we should have talked longer and gotten to know each other???” Well, the first thing you should know is that women don’t like grocery shopping in general and we ESPECIALLY don’t like it after working all fucking day. So, no, there will be no chit-chat and getting to know each other. Just give her the fucking chocolate pretzels and go play in aisle 7 with your baby oil, Diddy. – Not a missed connection.

Okay, now that I’ve cleared that up hopefully we can get back to those real missed connections via the serial killer hunting grounds of all things Craigslist next Monday.

How was everybody’s day? Anything thrilling and spine-chilling to report? I’m super bummed that we’re not getting any of that snow going across the country.
Are any of you in the middle of it?? Be safe! Don’t shovel heavy snow and don’t go tip-toeing on the ice. It never ends well.

Missed Connection Monday is brought to you by your local Craigslist. These are real “love notes” that strangers leave for other strangers in the ‘Personals’ section on Craigslist.
Or as I like to call it – Your local serial killer hunting ground.

<3 THIS IS A LONG SHOT
You came into Idaho pizza company … you were a beautiful Hispanic woman wearing a head band and leggings.. you were on your phone the whole time.. we made eye contact a lot and smiled at each other when I left.. I should have asked for your number, if you are single I would like to get to know you

<3 EMO NIGHT KNITTING FACTORY
I kept running into you all night and thought this girl is so hot and beautiful. You were wearing a white top with a zebra print skirt and some high-top converse. You showed up in a lot of my videos and photos. I would love to meet you if possible.

**** Dear “Long shot” and “Emo night,”
I suspect you will find your headband, leggings, and zebra print skirt-wearing soul mates here…
The portal to all things 80s.

<3 WHITE VAN WHERE ARE YOU
Hi, I miss spending time with you around Fred Meyer on Chinden. You drive a white van. I hope you see this. Hit me up k?

<3 GIRL IN VAN
We drove next to one another this morning. I feel like you either knew me or were interested in me. Would love to chat and see where it goes.

**** Dear “White Van” and “Girl In Van,”
What the fuck is the matter with you two??? Didn’t anyone ever teach you about stranger danger???

xxx ” White Van Trying To Lure Children Into Vehicle…”
xxx “Report suspicious white van rouses fear… Two cousins out on the town Saturday night say they witnessed an attempted kidnapping…”
xxx “Police are warning residents after receiving a report of a man who approached children Saturday morning and asked them to get inside his vehicle. Officers checked the surrounding area and found a video feed from a neighbor that showed a white cargo van…”

Well, and then there’s this guy.

<3 WELLS FARGO EMPLOYEE

****Dear Wells Fargo,
1st, stop taking those little blue pills and smoking crack before you do your banking.
2nd, her Russian accent was as sexy as anything you’ve seen?? You can see a fucking accent??
3rd, I talked to her, she’s a lesbian and we have a date on Friday. That’s what you get for being a creeper.

IN OTHER NEWS…
I’ve been battling a two-day headache and am currently drinking a caffeine-loaded energy drink to get rid of it and since it’s 9:30pm it looks like I’ll be up all night but I’ll be headache free so go me!

I’m still working on Halloween stuff. Hopefully, I’ll have a couple of things to show tomorrow.

I’ve been totally wrapped up in the Queen’s passing… And yes, I’ve cried. I love the real, working Royals. We grew up knowing aaaallll about them. My mom’s genealogy connects us to the Royals and I can’t remember a time when they weren’t a topic of conversation daily in our house. To be honest, we heard about them so much I can remember my teenage self asking my mom, “They didn’t leave us any of their crown jewels or a castle. Why do you care??” I get it now… Sorry, mom.

Our weather is finally behaving like fall is on the way, in fact, next week it’s in the 70’s all week and I am totally digging that. Now, the rest of the year can slow down! I have so much to do and so many plans. My fall and winter are mapped out like some people map out their summer vacations. This time of year is my summer vacation.

Did you all have a good weekend??
What’s on tap for your week ahead?
Anybody else glued to the news of Queen Elizabeth’s passing? It’s so weird saying King Charles now but I love that William and Catherine are now the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Well, another late post. I hope you’re all having a great Monday and a great start to the new week. I’ve got a long night ahead so I’m jumping off here and getting a few things done. Don’t forget to leave some comment luv.
