Ok, I am all about giving compliments lately. If I like some lady's hair... I tell her. If I like her shoes or purse, I tell her. I'll tell them when I think their kid is cute or being really good. I saw a neighbor walking and she has lost a LOT of weight. I've never spoken with her before, but I pulled the car up next to her and told her. She grinned ear to ear and now she waves at me every time I see her. While you're at it, tell people you appreciate the work they do. The garbage men LOOK for Maddy in the window. It's because she's excited to see them and waves happily at them. One of the two man crew must have moved on because now there is a new guy but he's quickly fallen into the routine as well. If we are outside she always says, "THANK YOU!" Anyway... why just think it? Say it! People like hearing things like that! It makes their day!
Our day was pretty good here. We had two walk throughs today. Don't get me started on the second one--who showed up 1.5 hours LATE and then was still 45 minutes later than what is normally cut off to show houses. ARGH. We had just got back from dinner out (to stay out of the way since she and her clients would be there) and they ring the door bell, it's 7:50!!!! 7 is normally cut off time for showing houses. Well, after giving her at least a few seconds of grief, we did let them do the walk through and we went out side to take a walk. Matt came home for a while tonight from work and hung out and went out to dinner. After Maddy went to bed he went back to work to fix some VPN issue. I guess he should be done with everything by the end of the weekend.
Maddy and I played outside and ran quite a few errands today. We still have more to do tomorrow. But not that bad.
Ok, well, off to bed. Have a good night, all!
