Pick-Me-Up

Never underestimate the power of a compliment. After a trying week and even rougher start to the weekend (even the cap of my new-fangled amino protein shampoo broke off!), I dragged myself to a birthday party. The hostess came up to me specifically to tell me that her friend, who had already left, was disappointed that he had to go "just as a pretty girl was walking in" (yes, I know it's surprising, but he was in fact referring to me.) Thank you, whoever you are, for putting a smile on my face. Also, I had a bag of mishloach manot waiting for me in the lobby when I got home, which was a nice surprise indeed. Thank you, Josh!
