P.S. Important note:
Is this what it feels like to be Carly Ledford? I feel like a total girl. But I love it. Rambling solves all. But I'm glad I don't know what it's like to be married and knocked up. At 19. Holy moly.
P.S. your smoothie sounds amazing. I could do some serious work on a smoothie right now.

Good Deed Spread the Seed

So. Mama. The whole reason the idea of starting a blog popped into my head was because last Saturday I did a couple good deeds. You know...the one's that actually stick out in your mind-not just easy ones. I figured this would be a great way to share our good deeds and encourgage each other!
So the first one is about a man named IRA. He looks like he's from a weed smoking movie (you know the type)-but he really made my day when I went into the apple store to get my crashed laptop fixed up! I thought i was going to have to buy a new one but Ira was so great and explained all of my options and answered all of my anal, meticulous questions and I ended up only paying a small fraction of what I was expecting! So. I was so happy with my new friend Ira, that I called his manager the next day and told her about what a great customer service experience I'd had with Ira. I don't know what came over me but I was absolutely compelled to call in and have him recognized! I pictured him getting a slap on the butt by his boss and maybe a "good job sport" and it making his day.
The second one was totally out of the blue. Right after making the nice call I stepped outside for a long run and was really smiley. I was running toward downtown when I heard a big crash and looked back to see the aftermath of an older man in a pickup getting hit by the street car. I was the first one to the scene so I called 911 (couldn't get through for over 5 minutes...BULLSHIEEETT) and I talked to the poor guy and checked him out a little. I felt so bad for him so we just chatted a little bit so that I could try to make him feel better..it was so sad but I think he really appreciated it!
So those were my good deeds of Saturday. I ended up being so happy having helped some random people that I ran 13 miles around downtown and hardly noticed because my mind was just wandering thinking light adn fluffy thoughts. I love light and fluffy thoughts....you know what I mean? Get that physics BS out of my head and let me preoccupy myself with how pretty the sunset is!

P.S. Recipe for my new favorite smoothie

ice
yogurt (vanilla or blueberry)
banana
handfull of blueberries
handfull of blackberries
Acai berry juice

The acai juice is the crucial ingredient. Mom got a huge jug at Sams club because it was cheap compared to the grocery store. Its chock full of antioxidants and vitamins plus it has a great flavor that goes along with the dark berries.

I no longer swear by my standard pinks and oranges of smoothies. Strawberries, oranges, mango, banana is my usual palate but I am a changed woman!

Dear Abby,

For some reason, of all the letters I've ever written to you, this is the first time that "Dear Abby" has reminded me of the advice column as opposed to just the opening words to a letter to you. The tongue twister for the month of February in my Lilly Pulitzer agenda says

"Lilly lovers love lipstick, lip-locking and loads of love letters."

I wrote you a love note today, addressed it and sealed it up -- but you know what? I am all out of stamps. 

So here's to "No Stamps Necessary"! 143
