While at Target last week I was looking for ways to boost my street cred, so I bought a pen. I made the purchase because in the dimly lit Dollar Spot at Target, the pen looked like a rock fist. When I got the pen home, I snapped a photo of it. Why? Because I'm a geek who loves Instagram and that's what I do for entertainment.
And frankly, it was either mess around with Instagram or clean the bathrooms.
I think I made the correct choice.
Only upon admiring my Instagram photo did I notice that my rockin' new pen wasn't a rock fist after all, but the I love you sign.
The I love you sign doesn't boost my street cred quite as much as a rock fist would have.
Of course, snapping photos of sunrises does nothing for my street cred, either.
Sigh. I am who I am. Apparently that's a nerd who Instagrams her pen and a sunrise.
And her lunch.
I can't remember all the goodness that was on that sammie, but trust me. It was delish. However, my lunch paled in comparison to my youngest daughter's lunch.
That's an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie roughly the size of her ten year old head. She ate the whole dad-gummed thing while I was busy Instagramming it.
Being outsmarted by a ten year old makes my street cred slip a little more.
This monkey photo gives me more street cred points. You know, 'cause it's creepy. And it's for sale ($10.95).
Recently, I posted another pic of a monkey. This one isn't creepy, he's totally adorable. I will disclose the fact that I completely and utterly humiliated my thirteen year old in order to obtain this monkey. I won't go into all the particulars, but you should know it involves being thirty-nine years old, ordering a Happy Meal and then squealing with delight when the toy inside is exactly the one I wanted.
Street cred through the roof, yo. Holla!
I will end this post with one of my new favorite Instagrammed photos.
It's quirky, it's retro, and it's nerdy. Kinda like me.
The only difference is that it had street cred twenty-five years ago and I didn't.
Pin It Now!
When have you ever had street cred??? Btw, LOVE the sunrise photo!!

Hey. I could have street cred if I wanted to. I just don't want it, that's all. Yeah. That's it.
