Today is MY day!

Every Thursday, the administrative assistant's DH comes to pick her up for lunch. Today he says to me: "You look really nice today! Not that you don't normally, but you look extraordinarily good today." AA then says: "Yes, your hair looks really nice."

Extraordinarily good, eh? I'll take that compliment!

At the PO, I was halfway up the stairs and a man came out the door. He stood holding the door open for me. Thank you! (Not many who hold doors open anymore.)

Then... as I was leaving the PO, a man came up the stairs using a cane. The nice person that I am, I held the door open for him. He said to me: "Thank you, Miss"

Miss? Not ma'am... but Miss!! I'll take that compliment, too!

Yes, today was MY day. And yes, I take my little thrills where I can get them. LOL

Stitched Ornaments

Before I put away my Christmas decorations for 2007, I took a pic of all the ornies I stitched over the years as well as the ones others have stitched for me.

Who's Idea Was This?

I would’ve never dreamed that it would be SO difficult finding a good restaurant to eat at on New Year’s Day. After a dozen phone calls, I found one restaurant open… and not a good one at that. Most pubs were closed, too. When T arrived for our evening out, I said: “Who’s bright idea was it to go out to eat on New Year’s Day?” He said it was mine. LOL (It was his!) We ended up driving all over town looking for a decent place to eat. Ended up at a nice Italian restaurant that I’d been to before. Ambiance was nice. Food was so-so this time. Conversation was good. He’s witty and keeps me on my toes! After dinner, we stopped at Blockbuster and picked up “License to Wed” with Robin Williams. It had some funny parts in it, but overall it was so-so. Another enjoyable evening.

Happy New Year!

12:55am.... Phone rings. Eyes still closed, I think to myself: Who the heck could be calling me?

Sleepily I answer the phone: "Hello...."

"Happy New Year!!!" I hear from the other side.

T had just gotten off work, and decided to call to wish me a HNY. (Was I just saying something about him not calling me? LOL) He teased me about not being able to stay up until midnight for the new year. Hey... a girl needs her beauty rest.
