One of our friends has done a lot for D and me lately, so we wanted to thank him and let him know how much we appreciate it. I know he likes to golf so we thought a gift card to the local golf shop would be a good idea.
Today I bought the gift card and wrote a thank you note which we'll give to him tomorrow.
Thanks for all of your help Mr. J!
Peace :)

Pet Adoption Sign
Wednesday, November 3rd 2010I saw a sign tipped over in the parking lot today as I was parking to pick up a coffee. I thought it was a construction sign because it looked like new concrete was just poured with yellow tape and orange cones all around.
I thought, I'm going to do something unusual and go pick it up. And so I did. It turns out it wasn't a construction sign, it was a "Pet Adoption" advertisement!
I was having a rough morning until then, but somehow as soon as I picked up the sign and realized it was a good cause that I was picking up a sign for, all my frustrations vanished.
I drove off to work with a smile on my face, singing to the music and ready for a great day!
Peace :)

This morning we had a meeting which led to some hurt feelings for at least one person who made it clear that that was what happened. I felt sincerely sad for the way he was spoken to and I wanted to make him feel better but didn't know how.
The only thing I could think of was to send him an email letting him know how I have been in his shoes before and that he is greatly appreciated for everything he does.
I think it helped a little. Well, I hope it helped a little at least.
Peace :)

Parking Spot
Monday, November 1st 2010
On my way through the parking lot at the grocery store, I noticed a car pulling out of a great spot. It was my turn to go and I had first choice of taking the spot or continuing out further. When I saw another car who appeared to be heading down the same way, I kept driving in order to let them have the close spot.
I don't know if they ended up taking it or not, but perhaps someone who needed a near-the-door spot or someone who was having a rough day ended up with it. Either way, I needed the exercise and was glad to park farther away.

Clothes, High Heels & Apples
Sunday, October 31st 2010
I decided to go visit my family today because #1- I missed them, #2- I hadn't talked to them in person since D & I got engaged and I wanted to show my mom & grandma my new ring.
Since I know my mom's friend is the same size as I am and she liked getting some of my clothes a couple weeks ago, I went through my closet to find some more stuff she might like. I put them in a bag, along with a pair of unworn high heels for work, tossed them in the back seat and headed down the freeway.
I think my mom will offer her the clothes this week and if she can't use them or doesn't like them, we can find someone else who might want them.
I had a great time with everyone and since it's Halloween, I got to help my grandparents hand out apples to the little trick-or-treaters. So fun!

Photographer
Saturday, October 30th 2010
D needed a photographer to go out with him to a Youth Soccer fundraising event at a local high school this morning and I was excited to take on the job! Kids, Fundraising, School, D, and a chance to help out- I'm there!
It was freezing cold this early morning, so the young soccer players wanted to get the photos taken as fast as possible. We set up the banners, arranged the group and started snapping pictures left and right.
I am not a professional photographer by any means and my camera is no where close to fancy, but they turned out great and it was something I've never done before. What a fun Saturday morning. Now I think I'll go back to bed.

Chinese Food
Friday, October 29th 2010
Being the last day of the month and also the busiest day for a lot of people in our department, our manager bought lunch for everyone at a place of our choice. Once fast food Chinese won the vote, I volunteered to order it since it appeared I had more free time than the others- at least a couple minutes to spare anyway.
Then it was getting close to time go pick it up and no one seemed to want to offer to do that, so I asked Miss J if she'd go with me and she said yes. I don't know if she really wanted to or if she was just helping out, but thanks Miss J! :)
So we picked up lunch for 32 people and with a car smelling like Chinese food, we drove back and set it all up. Yum!
Peace :)
