the most magnificent day so far

today i have just really felt joy all day. nothing could affect me or otherwise knock me off that high i was on. not EVEN the fact that every night someone comes in and yanks the mattress cover such that it comes loose from the corners. no, i wasn't letting that tip me off my mark. and i know something great is heading my way. i can't wait to see what it is.

so there i am in the superstore and it occurs to me that i need kitchen scales. the old ones broke. apparently, they don't like being accidentally knocked on the floor. who knew? anyway, so i says to the universe, "hey u," (we're on monosyllabic basis now) then i had to say "not you," to the clerk who turned when i called out. anyway, i continued, "i'd love some kitchen scales!" i slowly saunter up the aisle that it really should be on. NOTE: this store has NOT had them the last two times i checked. thoroughly. i go to the measuring jugs, which really are a close cousin to kitchen scales, and think "okay, where are the scales." my eyes pop as i see a set of kitchen scales right above the measuring jug; remember THEY WERE NOT THERE BEFORE. i say a quiet "holy crap! i mean THANK YOU UNIVERSE!" but i'm looking and i think 'well that set isn't really going to hold the things i need to weigh, i really want one similar to the one i had, and slightly cheaper'.
and
then
my
jaw
drops
as i look at the shelves - YES, TWO SHELVES - of kitchen scales. the absolute perfect kitchen scales were on the top shelf. i just stood there gaping in awe like some moron. i'm sure at least one person walked by wondering what was wrong, while another said, (like many of you are probably thinking) "they're just scales." but oh my inexplicable higher power! does it get more magical than that? WOW!!!

this makes the broccoli i asked for in the canteen pale in comparison. and to think, this post going to be about how i wanted something exciting to happen yesterday and got an email from borders (i'm not on their email list...) announcing the grand opening of the borders/starbucks i've been waiting for - today. i've always wanted to go to opening day of a shop i like, and how perfect that it was my favorite shop?! what a very lovely evening it was.

but, and this point i didn't really make at all through this, i felt so beyond-words fantastic all day that a couple times i had to check to make sure my feet were still touching the floor. they still are.....for now....
