« Crazy, Party of One | Main | Flying »

Sometimes

Meetings. Conference calls. Deadlines. Appointments. Recitals. Parties. Dinners. Lunches. Coffee. Emails. Old friends. Greeting cards. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Vacations. Routines. Responsibility.

Sometimes, things are overwhelming. And sometimes, someone can make your day with something simple, something unexpected.

I thought of this on the way to work today, and strolled into the office armed with Starbucks which I set on a co-worker's desk as I smiled and said, "Just 'cause."

Tomorrow is Friday. Do something unexpected tomorrow or even this weekend, then come back and tell me about it.

My roommate Robyn & I accidently did something nice for some people. Last night we (plus 3 of our friends) went over to our friend Julia's house to hang out with her b/c her husband deployed to Iraq last week, and Robyn and I brought dinner. It was our intention to collect money from everyone, but we forgot. So we accidently bought everyone dinner... so that sort of, kind of counts, maybe?

Maggie :

OK, scratch my first comment... how about this. My mom asked me to call my grandma to say hi b/c she's not feeling well... and I ACTUALLY did!!

about the author

Emily (n.) 1983 - Present

A loud-laughing twenty-something female who prefers flip flops to all other shoes, yet has a closet full that go unworn. Can often be found in front of a computer screen designing websites or playing "The Sims". Hates messes, cancelled plans and loud volumes. Loves suffocating summer heat, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (now with banana) and friends who know what you’re going to say before you ever open your mouth.

Warning: often speaks too quickly; listen carefully.

Where would a girl be without friends? I love 'em for a reason. Stop by. Say hello. Tell them I sent you.
