Since my divorce almost three years ago, I have learned to breathe out the bad and breathe in the good. Looking on the bright side has become a way of life for me . . . I keep my eyes and ears open each day for "whatever tickles my fancy!"
For example, yesterday while filling up with gas, I noticed the lady next to me had a Pillsbury Dough Boy hanging from her mirror . . . "I love your dough boy!" I told her.
"My son is 46 years old and I got him (dough-boy) when my son was born by sending in Pillsbury labels. So he's pretty old! . . . and besides that he helps me identify my car in a crowded parking lot!"
We both giggled and I told her I needed a green eyeball to find my car . . . (all cars are grey!)
While in line waiting for my fabric to be cut at the Jo-Ann Craft store in Bellingham, I chatted away with a 4 year old girl who was getting her granny to sew her a ballerina dress of pink sparkles & tulle. She told all about everything even about her granny going to "hostipal" when she broke her arm, about their "rotten" old Christmas tree they were taking somewhere, and we compared our numbers for who-is-next. Waiting in line can be a lot of fun!! (we ended up together in the check out line too!)
I stopped for lunch at a place called "Over Easy" and you can imagine what fun it was to enter and see vintage chrome tables & chairs while oldies played on the Jukebox . . . (I mean television)
The place was BRIGHT and painted yellow! They served yam tater tots (omg!) and I had fun chatting with the waitress. Eating lunch by yourself? Too much fun!
