flax coat compliment This morning at the local grocery store, a woman walked in after me and we briefly made eye contact. Her hair was about shoulder length and the shade that people like to call dirty blonde. The cut framed her face nicely. What really caught my eye was what she was wearing. She had on this long flax colored coat that hugged her shape and looked very stylish. This was worn over a nice pair of tan pants and off white top. Standing at about five foot eight or so she looked as though she had come from a J Crew catalog photo shoot. As I was shopping our paths crossed a few more times giving me a chance to look her over a little more carefully. Then as I was standing at the checkout line she stood behind me. I knew then that I had to say something. Right after my change had been handed to me, I looked her in the eye and told her that the coat looked awesome on her. She smiled, thanked me and seemed genuinely flattered. I am so glad that I said something to her. It made my day and maybe it made hers. If I wasn't involved, I probably would have lingered a little longer than I did. ... I saw what I would consider to be the definition of a winter wonderland when I walked outside this morning. The snow from last night had rounded all of the edges of the trees and I was amazed at the transformation. For weeks the ground had been brown and clearly dormant. Any signs of life were hidden. It was winter without the benefits. This morning that was changed. Sadly I didn't have my camera with me and knew that by the time that I got home the melting would have started. ... Saturdays are days where I find it hard to focus on much of anything and I am hoping that I can change that this year. Obviously coming off of my first night back at work is a struggle, but at the same time I find it frustrating to feel so out of it every week. About the best that I can do when I get home is watch a movie or something that I taped earlier in the week. Reading is too much of a strain for me mentally so I need to keep my entertainment purely visual. Maybe I shouldn't be complaining. There are far worse things that could be happening in my life than being slightly disorganized. ... I didn't think that it was possible, but it happened. Bendis made me like his version of the Avengers again and it had everything to do with his treatment of Jessica Drew. |
