marcicat | things that are AWESOME this week

Because sometimes I forget, in amongst the griping about coworkers and extended family and my car and my job, that these things are part of it all too.

1. THE MOST AWESOME. Last night, shopping with the fam, trying to figure out what size I’m supposed to get. It’s long underwear, and it’s in a box, and I’m never sure what the accepted thing to do is with packaged clothing — can you try it on? Is that weird? But all the measurements are in inches, and it’s not like I actually know my waist size or inseam in inches. So I say, “Hey, Mom, any chance you have a tape measure in your pocketbook?” thinking that it’s a total long shot, because who would have that?

MOMS WOULD, THAT’S WHO.

And my mom is all, “Oh, sure, it’s right here.” No lie, she totally had one of those roll up tape measures RIGHT AT HAND. This wins the prize for most awesome thing this week. THANKS MOM!

2. RUNNER UP AWESOME. The Panera card — free coffee, free cookie, free peppermint espresso, all in one week. Plus the employees are the same from week to week, which is something that freaks me out about the other food place right next to where I work. Like, why can’t Papa Ginos hold on to any employee for long enough that I see them twice?

3. BRONZE MEDAL AWESOME. Hot mulled cider, because it is never not awesome.
