Hold Me, Internet

You know, some days I realize that the internet has given me a great many blessings.

Since I live in what I consider to be hick-ville, USA, I often turn to the internet to assure myself that I am not becoming a crazy Hoosier. One who believes everything good that has ever happened, ever, in the entire universe, happened in Indiana.

Because.... really.

So, besides living in a small town, I work in an even smaller town. Even more remote. This town's major attractions include a NEW Super Wal-Mart and Rural King.

Holy crap, I just let my hick show. I mentioned Rural King.

(Holy sh*t, I've actually been IN a Rural King. They sell big and super cheap buckets perfect for crafting. Don't tell anybody!)

(Rural King, FYI, is like Target for farmers and country folk. Got it?)

Ok, where was I?

Oh yes, town even smaller than my hometown.

So I'm working with a girl last night and we're talking hair. About how our highlights grow out too fast and how we have to shampoo constantly.

So then I tell her about dry shampoo.

Blank Stare.

I explain how it works - you spray it on, brush it in, voila.

No wash, no fuss.

She's still giving me what "what the heck face?"

So I say - have you ever been to Ulta?

Blank Stare.

"What about Sephora?"

Blank Stare.

And then I died a little inside.

And hyperventilated.

To recap: she had never heard of Sephora or Ulta. And this is a girl my age who enjoys the girly things in life.

Die.

Somebody get me the heck outta this small town!!

And also... thank you, internets, for making sure I know what a Sephora and Ulta are. I live a less sheltered existence because of you.

(And, just to clarify, I knew what Ulta and Sephora were before I blogged. But still, the internet opens up all kinds of awesomeness you never knew existed.)
