The post is late! The post is late!
Here it is:
13 Things I Love to Hear:
13) at Nordstrom’s: Yes, we have that shoe in a size 8.
12) from the gas company: Well, you overpaid last month and so you have a credit on your account for this month. (yes, mom, this does occasionally happen!)
11) from the worker at McDonald's: One chocolate shake coming right up!
10) from a random person on the street: Well, I voted for GWB, but I question his position on the war in Iraq and I think that I'm going to vote Democrat. (occasionally heard here in Texas!)
9) from a doctor: Sure, I recommend your product to all my patients when they come in. It's the best on the market!
8) from Sweet Center: I got bonus tickets today at school because I behaved so well! and I got a 95 on my spelling test!
7) from Sir Toots: I behaved today!
6) from the cleaning crew: yes, we can be over by Friday to clean the house.
5) at home: the sound of little feet making their way to my room because they want to snuggle in bed before the start of the day.
4) from my boss: Way to go! That was a great way to handle that account/situation. By the way, here's more $! (I can dream, can't I?)
3) from my professor: Great essay! Well thought out!
2) from an old friend: Hello. How are you?
1) from Hubba Hubba: I love you. Have a good day and I'll see you tonight.
Well, really my favorite thing to hear from Hubba Hubba is the sound of his sigh and the accompanying grin when I tell him that I want us to be like the adorable old couple I saw earlier today holding hands as they walked to their car. I'm sure he's aware of how desperately I want us to have that same kind of love and admiration after a long life together. He lets me know with his sigh and a grin that he'd enjoy that too. At least I think that's what he means. :)
