I got gigantic, juicy red strawberries yesterday when I went to the store. Buy one, get one free. They're bigger than most strawberries I've ever seen-- and sweet. I got whipped cream as well, and they'll be the *actual* dessert for Mike tonight (I plan on buying a hostess cupcake).
Cute story though. Yesterday, as I was pulling into the checkout line at Safeway, the bottom to one of the strawberry crates gave out, scattering the red berries all over the floor. As I knelt to pick them up, a little girl, scarcely four, bent down to help me. She had curly dark hair and wide brown eyes. When I thanked her, she smiled at me. It put me in a good mood for the rest of the day.
Off to work I go, high-ho.
I did win another auction, though. I got a really nice Amber-scented pillar candle for half the price it costs from the retailer. And then I saw this lamp. It retails for $70, and lit up, it's so gorgeous. I couldn't afford it when I saw it, so I boutght one matching votive holder. One, because I couldn't afford a set. And there are several of the lamp and the votive holders on ebay. When the time is right, oh, it shall be mine. :)
