Having ALL my change fall out of my wallet as I stepped OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CASHIER WHEN I WAS FINISHED (because I do that!)... and then having THREE male employees rush over and pick it all up and hand to me!
- one of them said, "look madam, all these men at your feet!"
I said, "I could get used to this, can I get a picture?"
 ;)
har har.

The cherry on top was when I walked out, one guy even chased me to the crosswalk to hand me a 20P coin that I'd also dropped!  20P!

I have new faith in (some) grocery store employees!  ;D

I think it was just YOU they were racing after from the sounds of it!!!  ;)

Aw, that is great news!  Can't wait 'till they're all back.  My brother is getting leave in January...roll on 2006!

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

Yes I can't wait until they are all back home safe too! Was such a nice surprise, last time I talked to him he didn't know when he'd get out of there! He's been there since last January. I bet you are counting down until your brother gets his leave, I hope the time rolls on fast for you!  :)

Hehe -- I'm getting it from a girl at work.  She got it as a gift but already has one and ours died a few weeks ago -- was meant to be!  :-)  Only drawback is that it's cream -- I wanted to get a red one...but you can't beat the price!
