I'm random, thanks for asking.

Yesterday morning, the moon was setting in the west as I was driving to work. It was a huge, golden yellow orb on the horizon. Today, I left about 10 minutes later but the moon was still very high in the sky. As I was getting home tonight, the moon was rising in the east, but now it was a huge, blood red orb. I was so excited because I had my digital camera with me, so I'm driving and trying to take a picture. I found a parking lot, zoomed in, and took a few shots. When I got home and went to upload the pictures to my computer, I saw that I had left the camera in economy mode, and I was so mad. The pics didn't come out well, and were smaller file sizes. How often am I ready to take a picture like that, and I messed it up! Oh well. At least now with my bigger purse, I can keep the camera with me.

I just love the moon, always have.

1. It's hot.

2. I finally got a digital camera! I just have to read the booklet. Already took a couple of pictures, so yay!

3. Still have loads of work to do, but I'm procrastinating.

4. I was at Starbucks today, talking to the baristas. They were being ultra friendly, as usual. They know me as a regular since I've gone just about every day that I've been in town this summer. We were discussing caramel sauce and also how I might imitate my favorite drink at home. The girl was giving me suggestions and offered to write on a cup for me how I might make the drink at home. Later on, as I was walking out, I dropped my change all over the floor, and a barista came to help me pick it up.

Ok, I would have done pretty much all the same things when I was a barista. I loved chatting, and I did as much as I could to help customers. I do such things now with strangers in public or for people I know. So, why do I feel weird when people in turn do these things for me? I know they aren't doing it just because they have to, even with all the legendary service mumbo jumbo baristas get drilled into their heads. I know I did it just because it was common courtesey, and also I like to be helpful and friendly. So, why do I get embarrassed when I'm on the receiving end of such behavior? Not uncomfortable, just like, really, you don't have to go out of your way for me. I don't say that, but I think it in my mind.
