i got "we"d
no, not weed (dirty hippies) but "we"d. as in, i'm going to speak in the plural even though there's not another person around.
this conversation came up way back when at the crim expo (see, it is related to running!) where apoz in her consistently canine-fanatically-friendly way bopped up to the hot mizuno guy and his dog, slathering all sorts of attention to the golden retriever. and then she got "we"d, as in "we couldn't find a babysitter so that's why i brought the dog to the expo." debate ensued during carb loading at the olive garden whether she got "we"d to send a signal that he was unavailable, implying that she might be hitting on him, or if he was just treating his dog as the other half of "we." either way is creepy.
point being is that a burmese mountain dog pup moved into the neighborhood a few weeks ago. i saw him a couple of days ago and resisted pawing him but today i could not help but to get down on my knees and giving him all sorts of puppy love. he was just this big, fluffy cotton ball of black, white, and brown fur. feeling the need to recognize the owner, i engaged in small talk about how old the puppy was, where he got her, blah blah.
and then i got "we"d.
as in, "we drove a long way to get you but it was worth it" as he picked up and snuggled the dog. i looked at him blankly and thought to myself, "oh no you did not just we me!!"
sometimes, all you really want to say is, " i'm really only interested in the dog, not the bi-otch."
anywho, in other running-related news, today i received a new brooks running jacket that i bought from my favorite website for, like, pennies. we are going to be so hot when we go running.

p, I keep tellin' ya you are one hot momma, nothing but trouble for the smug-marrieds. Now I am drooling over those running jackets, but thought- hey I can probably find some cool toddler shoes on here. You know me. I'm sure you'll run extra fast in your new jacket!
see, it's always the attention lavished on the dogs that do this to the men! however, the poodle owner did not "we" us outside of old town last week, probably b/c it was obvious that all 6 of us were not hitting on him, so must just be the 1 on 1 dog owner/dog fan interaction.
for the record, though, i'm not convinced that it always means something more than a very partnered person talking about their dogs. for ie, i would guess that km would say "we" when talking about duke regardless if it was a man, woman, child, etc. that she was conversing with...?
btw, i need to see the puppy!
i just saw the pup again this afternoon and steered clear this time of fondling the dog. gawd- it's so cute though!
apoz, do you go around talking about you and p-kitty as "we?"
