Mama Needs a New Pair of Shoes...

and other random thoughts.
I haven't read my horoscope lately, but my lucky days must have read December 8th and 9th. Yesterday I got an offer for a free Starbucks beverage (my choice)...granted I had to take a short cyber survey, but who cares? Thoughts of that gingerbread latte dance in my head...make it a large (I refuse to say venti). My luck continued with a Target cashier. A price adjustment was made based on my word alone. No running to the back of the store with a line of angry customers behind me. Just a quick override on the register and the issue was over. Today, I was invited to a dinner party with a bunch of international friends. People with interesting personal histories, a love of food and music. Jerry has already volunteered to take over parenting duties for the night. The icing on the cake was a New Year's Eve plan that does not involve take out, tired pajamas and Jerry nudging me at 11:50 to wake up. Our old college friend is throwing the type of New Year's Eve bash that would will bring out the early twenty-something in all of us, sans Kurt Cobain flannels. But wait, haven't they made a come-back? The invite encourages cocktail attire. Will need to dust off the old threads. Maybe a new pair of shoes?

  1. You deserve all the good will that comes your way. You deserve it. The time and effort you put forth with your families and everything you do for Ella and I cannot be repaid. Thank you for being a great person.
