Karma

Okay, so I bought some stuff from Ann Taylor and I had all these vouchers for $20 off $50 or more, but I only spent $100 (well, $60 with my sweet coupons), and I had two left. So I left them with the cashier to give to the next customer, I mean why waste them, right? And she was like, wow, that's so nice of you - she was in shock and kept going on about it. Why can't people be nice? Seriously? Why is being kind the exception, not the rule???

I found a check on the ground while I was at work today and I am mailing it back to the originator (I didn't want to leave it, it had their DL#'s and obviously their address and account number). And I helped a girl out with directions who was in tears because her cell phone died and she couldn't find anyone to help her. So maybe some of this good karma will come back to me! MAYBE, but I'm not counting on it. If karma is listening, I would like my payback in the form of a healthy baby. I only want 2 kids, so one now and another in about 2 years please. Thanks, karma.

Socks

When I first met my husband, he had this terrible habit of taking off his socks anywhere and everywhere, and just leaving them there. He 'claims' they pull the hair on his feet and legs, making it uncomfortable. As a female, I have hairless feet to I can't pretend to know if this is truly an issue that the hairy footed experience. So essentially, back to the point, his apartment floor was carpeted with stray socks.

I slowly broke him of this habit, so he would actually put his socks in the dirty clothes hamper. I was thrilled that by the time we moved in together, I didn't have to deal with dirty socks everywhere.

About a year later, the socks started reappearing. I was NOT happy, all that work down the drain, what could have caused this regression? Suddenly, my socks also started appearing in random places around the house, why would my husband put my socks everywhere too? It was our new dog, Z...to this day, she fishes through the dirty hamper for socks to carry around in her mouth. My best friend came to visit, and after she left, I found one dirty sock of hers in Z's bed. When my mom came to visit, again, one dirty sock of hers in Z's bed. I am guessing she holds on to these mementos to remember some of her favorite people :)
