Confidence Boosters

Story 1:

When I was sick a friend of mine brought me the best spaghetti ever. I text her after a few bites and asked if there was wine in the sauce. She said, red wine...lots. So, a few days later I was grocery shopping and said decided I just had to get some ingredients for spaghetti. I picked up some Merlot and headed for the checkout. Let me add that I was by myself and had been somewhere that morning so I actually was dressed and had make-up on. I get to the checkout and as the young guy scans the wine I hand him my ID. He promptly lets me know that he does not need it. So, I quietly slipped it back in my wallet with hurt pride. I mean, couldn't he have just humored me?

Story 2:

For about a week my husband has been not so subtly telling me I need a haircut. I thought they were not supposed to notice those things. Granted, it has been MONTHS since I had it cut but still. I was trying to convince myself that since it was long I could get away with letting it go. I knew I was due, but the fact that Chip too knew I was due was another story. I kept telling him I was trying not to spend any money. But, he literally made me go. So, for the first time in a while I went to a non-salon. I went to WonderCuts. And I must say I am pleased. My hair is easy...trim the ends and cut long layers. My only complaint was that she did not thin it how I would have liked. But, for $14.95 I cannot complain. I am embarrassed that I even admitted that. I am tempted to hit backspace.
