Surprised my grandma (which she said counts as 1 alone) and then took her to lunch (she said that counts as a second or she was going to pay)
Random Act of Kindness 3
Held the door for a sweet old lady at Kohls. Random acts don’t have to cost money, folks
No reason I shouldn’t be getting my errands done in the process of this, right? 🙂
Random Act of Kindness 1 and 2
Getting a late start this morning (don’t judge, birthday girl wanted her beauty sleep).
No photo for this one because I didn’t want to seem like a total creeper.
Random acts numbers 1 and 2: purchased coffee for the two folks behind me in at the Starbucks drive through.
Random Acts of Kindness
Tomorrow is the 6th anniversary of my 21st birthday (don’t do the math). There’s no reason that everyone shouldn’t feel as good tomorrow as I will, so I’m celebrating by performing one random act of kindness for every year I’ve been alive.
I ask everyone reading this to perform a random act of kindness and let me know via comments on my blog tomorrow what you did.
Get ready to get kind (don’t worry, it’s only for a day).
I Just Want Sleep!
It appears that we’ve been plagued with early morning faulty electronic activity. First there was the alarm-event-heard-around-the-world, and then this morning there was the fire-alarm-heard-around-the-house. The smoke detector (which, when asleep with the bedroom door closed sounds very much like the house alarm) started going off. Naturally, our dog starts shaking and crawling on top of me to hide, while Angel and I curse the alarm for waking us up and debate who the unlucky one is going to be to get up in the cold and go address the situation.
I lost.
Our smoke detectors are all wired together, so when one starts beeping THEY ALL START BEEPING. It’s really wonderful in a really annoying way. I identify the rogue device, remove the battery, put the alarm back on the ceiling, and go back to bed. 30 seconds of silence later, our detector has decide it’s not done talking to us.
Long story short we have COMPLETELY uninstalled and dismantled the smoke detector and it’s STILL GOING OFF. Why do alarms insist on going off in our house in the middle of the night? We are very unfriendly folks when woken up
27 Random Acts of Kindness
I’m completely inspired by my random Starbucks gift card. Funny how something so simple can make such a large impact on someone’s frame of mind.
So inspired, actually, that I’ve decided to celebrate my birthday the same way- with one random act of kindness for every year that I’ve been alive.
So on March 21st, I will be taking part in the Birthday Project and performing 27 random acts of kindness.
I will be posting these acts on my blog on this day.
Next Wednesday I want everyone to perform a random act of kindness as well and share it with me on my blog: www.whatlieswithin.net.
Where’s Waldo
Car-nage
Have you ever had one of those days that the second you leave the house, you become aware that it was probably a bad idea?
This happened to me while merging onto the highway (and checking my blind spot like an appropriately safe driver, may I add):
By the time I pulled into work, the crack had already grown to an inch in size, and I expect the afternoon sun to take care of the rest. Right after this happened, I opened my Frappuccino bottle (because I’m getting good about stopping at Starbucks and am instead buying it for cheaper at Costco) while I hit a bump and am now wearing my beloved Frappuccino… but that’s okay because coffee is the new black. I also have Frappuccino all over my seat, steering wheel, and floor mats. Bucket seats are exactly that, folks!
Le sigh.
This is why we have high quality front loading washers and a Tide theft problem. Clearly everyone else spills coffee on themselves on their way to honest paying jobs, because there’s no other logical excuse for stealing Tide.
I really just wish Tide thiefs would come clean.
