Update&Goodbye

On Monday I wrote about a good deed and paying it forward and let me tell you I was on a mission to get it done. I payed the JoAnn Angel forward at work the very next day. Dan, an older guy, doesn't usually work nights. He was hanging in there with me, though. We were joking around about an ice coffee would be a great perk up. I secretly asked what his "drink"(we take our Dunkin Donuts serious around here)was. So finally my break rolled around and I walked my lazy butt all the way to Dunkin Donuts(its in the same parking lot as work) and bought Dan his French Vanilla Ice Coffee with 1 cream and 1 sweet n low. I ,of course, got my regular ice coffee extra extra. Dan was so surprised! He loved it and about 10 minutes later his drink was gone and he was no longer going to pass out!

On Tuesday I wrote about giving my friend a set of coasters I made her for her bridal shower. Well, I decided to go ahead and give them to her. I also decided to show her what I wrote in my bliggity blog(that little paragraph about the beach). A thousand hugs later and a few tears I think it was safe to say she loved the coasters.

Now for the goodbye part of this entry. The fam is going on a trip this weekend. Our destination is Cape Cod. Adam's family goes every year. Last year was my first year going and I had a blast. I'm looking forward to leaving. I won't be back until Tuesday. So don't post too much and don't forget about me.

I'm going to leave you all with a few pictures from last years Cape Cod mini vacation.

Pay It Forward

Yesterday, in between storms, me and the little man ventured out. We had to make a stop at JoAnns, the craft store, to pick up supplies for a wedding gift I'm making. After I bought what I needed we stepped outside into the pouring rain. I just stood there with the cart underneath the overhang for a moment deciding the best way to go about getting everything and everyone to the car.

I noticed that there was no cart return area in the parking lot so I didn't want to drag the cart out there. I hate when people do that. My car is always the car that gets hit. I knew without the cart, though, I would have a lot to carry. Mind you, I have had fuller hands before. I would have only been carrying my purse, 2 bags, and Gage. Right before I decided my course of action a very nice older lady(Everyone's older than me.She really wasn't that old) offered to walk us to my car under her umbrella. Not only did she offer to walk us under her umbrella but she said she would return my cart but in the end I decided to ditch the cart.

I did for a brief second think about how she could kidnap us and eat us for dinner all week.

However, I have a lot of faith in people. I think people are generally good. Some people think this is a bad quality to have. I'm just not overly paranoid about things like this. After I decided that she wasn't a psycho, she walked us to our car. She even stood there while I found my keys in the Black Hole AKA my purse. While I was strapping Gage into his carseat, I looked back and saw that she was parked 2 lanes over way in the back of the lot. She went completely out of her way to shelter us from the rain.

I ran into an Angel in the parking lot of JoAnns. What a freaking nice lady. I'm telling you I haven't been this touched in a long time. I felt very inspired by it all and now its my mission to pay it forward. I don't know who and I don't know how but I'm going to. So watch out!

*I'm also going to start carrying an umbrella in my car.
**I'm also going to organize the Black Hole.
