A Day of Good News and Cheer
Today is always a happy day, because it is the one day of the year where I happen to know FOUR people celebrating birthdays—my mom, one of her best friends, a nephew and a brother-in-law. So already, we were spreading birthday cheer via the phone and internet.
Then, this afternoon, I got an exciting MMS message over the phone–a photo of a friend’s ultrasound!! Hello, and welcome to the world of parenting two, my friend!! While I was texting her back, hubby sent me a VM–his youngest brother just got engaged, and asked hubby to stand in as “the world’s oldest ring boy” (I think he meant bearer)! Double excitement. Then I came home and got an email–my good friend, LaCootina, has finally been admitted to the hospital for her StemCell Transplant. Good news? Well, you don’t want anyone you know to really have to have one, but if you have to have one, you want to get it going, and she was having all sorts of starts and stops. So the fact that she is there tonight is a good thing.
So….did you get good news today???
Is this a national trend??
Have you been to Sears lately??? I went yesterday for the first time in a long time, and was tickled pink to walk smack-dab in the middle of a very crisp and clean Lands End “store”. It was a catalog come to life, I tell ya. Gorgeous stuff. Of course, none of it was on sale and no coupons were applicable, so really, for me, it was just a catalog come to life.
I took the escalator upstairs to the baby section to do some returns and wow–it’s a good thing the downstairs looks so pretty. Because the upstairs? Looks like crap. They’ve crammed everything that was downstairs, upstairs. So welcome to the mens/childrens/baby/small appliance/larger women/lawn mower department. With two registers. Total.
Does your Sears have similiar issues???
