My Goodwill Trip 3/28 Posted by samaree

Since Goodwill has lost their minds and started pricing items higher than I can buy something new, I don’t shop there very often. But I had a coupon for $5 off of $10 and no plans after the delivery of my new kitchen pantry cabinet was canceled.

This bento was so tasty, I think I might make the same one for Monday!

Michael said he didn’t care what I packed him for lunch, so I had a little fun.

Top: Cantaloupe and blueberries

Middle: tomato and hard boiled egg; sauteed veg

Bottom: bbq chicken; mushroom barley pilaf

Much healthier than delivery pizza!

Just One Thing Posted by samaree

Sometimes the smallest thing can make or break my day. A jerk can make me stew in anger for hours. Or a nice guy can make me smile to myself all day.

A young man, young enough to be my… ahem, brother asked me a question this morning about Big Box Mart’s return policy. I called the Return Desk to double check policy. The man laughed at the woman on the other end as she was so loud I didn’t even have to repeat what she said.

As he went to walk away, he said “You know who you look like?”

A few names went through my head, mostly unflattering comparisons to celebrities I don’t feel I resemble at all.

“That girl from Titanic.”

Kate Winslet? Really? Thanks! I don’t think I’ve smiled that gratefully and genuinely in a while.

He told me to have a good day as he left. You betcha I will!
