Things I love...

One of the things I love is walking past people who can't help but smile. Honestly these people are just BEAMING. Most of the time it appears as though they are running over a recent conversation or situation that just makes them smile. It makes me wonder did they just get an amazing job offer, was a finacial situation magically resolved, did somebody tell them they loved them, did they just ace a test, did the see a good friend... whatever it is makes me wonder. I hope that I have done something at least once to make someone that happy where they couldn't help but smile as they walked. And for those of you who have done that for me Thank You! :)

Observations...

I really ought to write things down right after I see them. Last night when we went to Red Lobster. I dropped my friends off at the door, and as I was driving away this man who I was sure was an Elvis impersonator walked in the door. I quickly called my friends to see if they had seen him... and no luck... I apparently I am seeing ghosts with the creepy similarity to Elvis. Also yesterday as I was walking across campus I notice this very awkward couple holding hands. And the guy seemed to be dragging the girl across campus. She was a full arms length away. Hmm.... something tells me that if you don't want to be side by side or if you can't keep up with each then... avoid the awkwardness. The third thing today was at Walmart the lady behind us in the check out line was sitting in a mobile chair... obviously pregnant... and she just kept yelling at her daughter who was probably three. The girl from my observations hadn't done anything in the past five minutes worthy of such an awful reprimand. Sometimes I wish some people couldn't have kids... is that horrible. Well then she went off on her little girl saying "I just want you to know how spoiled you are... you are getting two movies today. So don't you ever complain. You are SO spoiled." I wanted to slap her. And just say let's see whose actually buying the movies... right that idiot would be you... so you are the one doing the spoiling. Oh and did I mention that she ate two reese peanut butter cups in line... Anyway... I will stop. I am grateful that this first week is over. This is going to be a busy busy busy semester with Fiesta, The Play, work, church, and my last classes.... but I'm excited. :) Soon... there will be a video of my cute niece. :) Also I am considering somehow including the random cell phone conversations that I seem to hear on an almost daily basis.
