Oh so random

I do have a post that's almost done.  I'm just trying to work up the courage to post it.  In the meantime, here are some random thoughts and things I did today and this week:

1. Let's start out on a positive note.  I made someone's day today.  As in, I really made her feel proud of herself.  I like to do that.  When people impress me, I like to give them the accolades they deserve.  Considering that I complain 95% of the time, it's nice to see the effects of doing the opposite.

2. I got asked to do something this week.  And even though I was asked to do it for the wrong reasons, in my estimation, I suppose it's still a compliment.

3. I went scoping out some Black Friday deals.  Do you know that at some stores' customer service is completely horrible?  I bet you already know that.  But I don't hang out at retail establishments all that often, so this was news to me.

4. Going along with that, as much as I tease myself about being white trash, I don't think I am after tonight.  When you see someone who is a 10 on the 1-10 white trash scale, you start to feel that you might really only be a 3 instead of an 8.  But I will still tease myself about it.

5. I almost lost my Sonic virginity tonight.  I've lived all over the country, but for some reason I've never lived anywhere there is a Sonic.  Earlier this year a Sonic came to town; it's about 15 miles away.  Well, tonight I actually drove by it!  And I stopped!  I wanted to order their famous cherry limeaid (?) with the pebble ice, but at the last minute I decided not to.  Sonic virginity retained.  (whew, that was close)

6. But I did stop at Wendy's.  I haven't eaten there in about a year.  I really don't do fast food, but I was out late and hadn't eaten since 1pm, so yeah...

7. I watched "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" tonight.  Did you know that I love raunchy movies, particularly if they have Seth Rogen in them?  It definitely wasn't a movie for the faint of heart.  I don't think my husband could have tolerated it...or most people could.  I wonder if people judge me on my horrid movie taste.

8. I'm reading Thirteen Reasons Why for book club.  I read it a few months ago and LOVED it.  I suggested it for book club, and it got enough votes.  So I'm re-reading it.  :)  Love love love love it.

9. I thought I had camera envy.  See, when I had a point and shoot camera, my pictures were awful.  So I thought a DSLR would fix it.  Then I got my Nikon DSLR, but then I started liking photos taken with the Canon Rebel better.  But then I saw some pics that caught my eye and learned they were taken with a Nikon DSLR.  So now I know that it's never been my freaking camera that has been the problem; it's been ME with the problem.  The thing is, I have read two separate books on my camera as well as the owner's manual.  Someone (me) really needs some practice.

10. My aunt from California coming for a visit in a few weeks.  Of course it would be on the same day that my husband is taking his black belt test.  It's feast or famine around this place.

Night!  Got a date with my book.
