OK – so here is my bazaar, carnival like evening. Near the end of the day, one of my team members tells me she’s going to play her throat (an amazing skill) to entertain and convince another team member to give her some last minute information… so awesome. I wrap up some work and emails, then leave the office late (of course). I decide I deserve a special treat, so I go to the wine shoppe to get my favorite wine in the whole world (Sassacaia), they are out (it is rare, but they always have it!), so it takes me a little longer to find some substitutes. As I was carrying the wine to my car, my heel gets stuck in a crack in the parking lot – when I pull my foot up, the heel base came right off the heel. I always wear high heels, so this is simply a fashion hazard. I cracked up laughing.
Then Chris calls and says, I just shot a 600 LB boar with my bow – in one shot. My response? Congrats! Wow…uh… seriously? That delay from searching for my wines, ripping the heel of my shoe and hearing about the great boar slaying of 2011 caused me to arrive home at the exact time that some random car pulls in behind me. A man gets out of the car and says, "ma'am, I've got a package for you." I’m a pretty easy going chick, so I’m not too freaked out, but the package in his hand looks like a big stick in bubble wrap, but it could be a rifle, or a golf club...just then, I realize it's my putter that is 5 days late following me home from LA – so Delta does deliver!
I bring my packages in, open up a bottle of wine – take the wrapper off, and cork is ….. glass – first time I’ve seen that! Then I make myself a plate of Purple Haze (Goat cheese with lavender and sage), crackers, and two types of chocolate bars –dark chocolate with bacon and chocolate with cherries and roiboos tea - weird, but oh so good.
And here I sit, marveling at the funny things that happen in a day and the little things all around you that can make you smile. Life is good - enjoy it.
