Fabulous Four Days

The last 4 days have been absolutely fabulous ... Thursday I got my first snow day this season ... we probably could have gone into work just fine because the roads were above freezing and the snow didn't start sticking till around 2 ... but all of us wanted the snow day ... so we took it ...

Friday I got to leave work 4 hours early ... just half a day there which was fabulous ... I had a dentist appointment to get my permanant crowns ... first 2 I have ever gotten and it was the climax of 6 months of terrible dental problems ... it is SO GREAT to not have to worry any more ... no more chewing carfully ... searing pain ... from the first of September to February 25th it has been a slippery slope on what I could do ... and now ... NO WORRIES ... it is fabulous ... I couldn't be happier ...

Saturday David and I met my brother, his wife and daughter at the American History Museum to see their America on the Move display ... it was fantastic ... we also got to see Julia Childs kitchen which was a great exhibit ... We had lunch and gilato while at the museum and Ellie was just a character all day ... I love that little girl ... after the museum we all headed to my parents house for dinner ... David fixed chicken on the grill and we watched a video we took at the museum ... it was a great day all around ...

Today we cleaned house and relaxed ... it was a nice Sunday for sure ... and it looks as if I might get my second snow day ... reports say it is going to be a great snow and tonight I will be going to bed like a kid waiting for Santa ... I wake up so early in anticipation of a snow day ... :)

What ... no tip?

This morning the Starbucks I go to was having trouble with their registers ... so the 8 people in front of me got their coffee for free ... everyone I could see had cash in their hand ... do you know not one of them put money in the tip jar ... they just got a free coffee and didn't tip anything at all???

Now I go every day ... and about half of mine I get for free or half the price ... every time I have ever gone in there with cash I tip them ... something ... they offer me a great cup of coffee and are always pleasent to me ... when I get it for free I put all the money in the jar that I would have spent on the coffee ...

I was so disappointed to see no one tip them ... as I approached the register they suddenly got it to work again ... I paid full price for my coffee and left a tip ...
