Just Smile: It’s Better For Everyone That Way
This just happened. I was out doing some Hanukkah shopping, seeing as though it’s in three weeks and all. I made a stop at my local chain craft store to pick up a gift I needed, but first I had to return a few things. I entered the store and wasn’t sure if I was supposed to weave my way through the line (they have the area surrounded by impulse-buy items and candy, making a zig-zag worthy of a theme park queue) or walk right up to the register closest to the door. There were no other customers in line (just one each at registers two and three), so I…

Trick…Or Treat?
What feels like a trick to me (a trick I am playing on myself) will hopefully feel like a treat to you. November is National Blog Posting Month and I’m in, again. You knew I was a little crazy, right? I’ll be posting each and every day during the month of November with all of the other crazies on the still-in-progress November NaBloPoMo blogroll, including Ally Bean, Kendra, and Momo Fali (WHAT? Are you nuts, Momo????), who are already in my reader. Speaking of my reader, I am placing an additional challenge on myself to actually get around and comment on more blogs because I haven’t been able to do…
