Ways today was a 2nd good day in a row!
Nov. 18th, 2011 06:44 pmSo had another set of random really nice things happen today (intermixed with a bit of bad news, but I'm willing to go with the majority here!), and I thought I would share.
First, the owner of our company actually quoted the little book "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." Specifically, the section about Friday afternoons being better with cookies and milk. Which he bought for all of us in the office. And sure enough, Friday afternoon was better for them!
Next I found a box in my mailbox containing another box of awesome. All pretty shaped and stained and inscribed and just made of win. We've discussed how much I love mail, so no surprise that I squeed like a loon for that one!
Finally had the bonus of a couple neighbor kids coming around door to door to mow front lawns. For $5 dollars. No really, it was two of them and they only asked for 5 bucks. I gave them 7 and was thrilled about it. They also gave me their number as they do a variety of odd jobs of that sort. This will save me having to buy a lawn mower for quite a while I think, and save me labor when I fianlly put in a flower bed in the front of my house!
So yeah, pretty good day! I'm getting ready to re-settle into writing for the evening. My goal is to have the next chapter of Hart of Wonderland done by the end of the weekend, so wish me luck.
I'm also still (and probably for a while) taking prompts for the Tell Me a Story meme, and I'll prolly work on those in between bouts of batshit crazy Cheshire. 'Course at least one calls for a slight crazy River with alcohol....
*suddenly feels she needs some whiskey to get through these crazies*
