It's the Little Things

I've been taking it pretty easy lately. I'd been feeling a bit stressed (no idea why, my life is pretty awesome... just have an anxious temperament I suppose) so I figured it was fine to be more relaxed for a few days. I blitzed my way through season one of a show I'd been looking forward to (In Treatment). Other than that, I've just been cleaning out the bonus room... it's amazing how much I've accumulated in the way of rabbit supplies. It feels really good to get things sorted out and organized.

I have today off work and have been spending it doing laundry and running errands. You know, the really exciting and glamorous side of everyday life. On my way back from the market (it's close enough to walk), I passed by a food vendor at the local farmer's market. I was lost in thought, smiling to myself I guess, and he commented (very sweetly, not in a creepy way), "you have a beautiful smile." I wished him luck with his sales and expressed regret that I had already eaten. I thought to myself as I walked the rest of the way home, does anyone really have an ugly smile? Seems like an odd compliment. But I suppose it'd be awkward in our social discourse to say instead "thanks for not looking miserable as you pass my way, it makes me feel a little more positive about my day." This is of course assuming he wasn't just fishing for a sale.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. I'm hoping to post a front and back yard update soon. Steve has been working really hard out there. We've definitely gone from ugliest house on the block to the cutest. It's a good feeling.
