Saturday morning my sister and I went to breakfast as we usually do. We noticed a guy dining alone at the counter and reading. He was one of those nerdy cute guys. I told her she should introduce herself. She said no, that she wasn’t that kind of girl. (she’s really shy) So we stared at him a bit and went on with our day.

Tuesday evening she comes over for dinner after doing some grocery shopping. Guess who she saw at the store? The same guy! I asked her if she talked to him. Again she did not. She merely followed him down an aisle or two and went on about her business.

I told her that she was crazy for not talking to him. What if this was some kind of sign?

You mean like karma? she says.
Um, I don’t think karma is the word you’re looking for. I think you mean kismet.

I made her promise that if she saw him a third time that she would say hi and introduce herself in the least stalkerish way possible.

Um, guess who showed up at her place of employment today? THE GUY.

Did she talk to him? NO. She ran and hid and freaked out. And then she called me.

We have it on good authority that this guy will show up at her place of employment again. However, I fear that my chicken butt sister is going to wimp out again.

Oh and did I mention that he has our last name? Our maiden name? So I come to thee internets so that you can help me push my sister in the right direction.

Help me out internets. I know you’ll make me proud.

So I have this jewelry cabinet that I inherited from my mother in law. And while it’s a piece that I have use for, the style just isn’t my own. However, I’m thinking that if I painted it a lovely shade of turquoise, blue, white, or jade that I would be very happy with it. It would then go quite nicely with some other things I’m doing. My husband thinks I’m crazy for wanting to paint it.

So what say you? Am I crazy?
