Everyday I try to be kind to people.  I smile at strangers.  I give up my treadmill in my tiny apartment gym if someone is waiting.  I’m a good tipper.

Today I tried to buy a plate.  For this blog actually.  So I can put it in pictures, to make it prettier.

The woman working at the shop was kind to me:

“You know this plate is gonna be 50% off this weekend,” she said.

“Oh, really?”

“Yes, just write a note with your name on it and I’ll set it aside.  You come Friday to pay for it and pick it up.”

“I won’t be here Friday. I’m gone all weekend,” I said.

“Well, you leave a note with your name and number here with me and I’ll sort you out, Honey,” the teller said.

Kindness, people.  Kindness.

Normally we don’t give refunds on shipping since it was a day after the sale, but since you ordered so much and was for the bra sale, I can adjust the shipping for you as a one-time courtesy.

Cheers,

Jackie

My husband is an excellent gift giver. For our anniversary in March he gave me the food processor of my dreams. For Christmas a few years ago he got me a charm bracelet then bought me new charms in addition to other gifts for Christmases and birthdays to follow. Each charm had special significance that he explained when I opened them.

This year for my birthday he outdid himself.

He bought me a 6-month subscription from Persephone Books. This company publishes out of print books each with their own unique endpaper. The endpaper is carefully chosen to “fit” the book: theme, feel, etc. Each book also comes with a matching bookmark with a quote from the book written on it.

My first one, Greenery Street, came this week. I don’t know which books he purchased. Every month I get to be surprised and reminded how much my husband loves me and loves to celebrate me. He said he picked this book first because in his words, “It’s about a married couple that is happy and stays together. I thought that was quite nice and something we could appreciate.”

Posts had just gotten back to a regular rhythm, but they are about to be interrupted by this guy. My husband is coming home for R&R today!

That’s the love of my life. He’s saying hi to me, our niece, and my mother-in-law. He makes my heart go pitter-pat. Doesn’t he look hot? He looks kinda badass too with that gun strapped to his leg. Which, in my completely unbiased opinion, makes him hotter.

Oh, dear. I better stop before this post moves up from a PG rating.
