• My Sunshine

  I got this idea from MissFJB........I'm following suit.

  I went to pick up my dry cleaning today.  I'm one of those people who leaves their clothes at the cleaners for weeks.  I tell them I'm in no hurry to get it back, and usually I go pick it up when I realize something I want to wear is in the cleaners.  So that's what happened today.  I couldn't find a particular shirt I wanted to wear.  I'm glad the cleaners in my building also do shoe repair because I broke my favorite black slingbacks one morning at work.  I was rather mad and not really concerned about not having shoes to wear that day but more about if the shoe was repairable.  My co-worker lent me a pair of shoes.  We're funny like that - let the cute-not-made-for-walking-DC-streets shoes collect in our offices until we clear them out.  I had just taken mine home and was virtually shoe-less except for the fact that my co-worker and I wear the same size shoe.  That's unusual for me because I have big feet.

  Anyhoo.....when I went to get the clothes, the owner said "You shoe been he-yah long time!"  Yeah, I know.  I just couldn't make it there before they closed in the evenings, and in the mornings I'm usually leaving in just enough time to make it to work.  "I no charge fuh shoe.  Only take $5 for glue so I say don't worry about it."

  **Smile**  How nice, and I mean that so non-sarcastically.  It was a small gesture, but greatly appreciated because those are one of my favorite pair of shoes!
