My Husband the Googler!!!

Every now and then my husband finds himself intently googling me, trying to find only the lord knows, maybe an article how I stabbed ignorant Wal-Mart Cashiers or how I used a bat in a road rage incident… whatever the reason he loves to google… so today being no different than any boring night alone in Iraq he googled… and to his surprise he found this blog, by a woman I only wish I could have met personally because I find her sense of humor delicious…

I should first start off by telling you how I have begun to adjust my Karma, I randomly pick a day where I purchase the coffee for the person behind me in the drive thru of Starbucks, now I should be honest and tell you I do benefit from it in more ways than one; the first being I use my Starbucks Gift Card my amazing Aunt Amy gave me for Christmas that I registered online and continue to refill {it tricks me into thinking she is still buying my coffee and I don’t need to feel guilty about a $4.00 latte} for every purchase I receive a point towards being a Gold Starbucks Card Holder where I will receive coupons and free extras in my drinks… second, the look on the face of the person behind me as I pull away is so wonderful and third knowing that in the cosmic realm of things I have added a few point for me :o) No one could ever have too much good karma on their side… so as I have begun doing this the barista and I have become well acquainted and to my surprise not once has the person behind me done it for the person behind them, rather disheartening I must admit but none the less it is nice knowing I have changed that persons day…

Pay It Forward

Do you know what's fun to do in El Paso? Get the hell out of there, that's what's fun. After potentially getting scabies from what was disguised as a Wyndham, we were out the door in the morning. We needed coffee and we needed it stat. We found a Starbucks and promptly missed the turn - thanks to Karen. Then we found our way back to it and got in the drive-thru. For whatever reason that morning (maybe the scabies) we were particularly moody. The car in front of us was taking what seemed to be a long time getting their order. My veins were impatiently waiting to receive the nectar of the mocha. Christ, what could possibly be the hold up? Come ON already!

Finally, there is movement and the we get to the front of the line. The lovely barista asked if we knew the lady in front of us. Obviously, we did not. Turns out, the hold up was because she bought our coffee for us. She told the barista that karma pays off.

Shit.

How bad did we feel? Pretty freaking bad. We had one of those moments of reflection where we realized that there are such good people in the world and we are ................assholes. Luckily, the kind lady had her business advertised on the back of her car with a link to her deliciously scented candle business. To return the favor of the coffee and self-reflection I am going to post a link to her site. Take a look and if you end up buying something, let her know the girls she bought coffee for in El Paso, Texas say thanks!

P.S. Sister Potato Head asked what was going on. I told her it was a Random Act of Kindness. Her response? "What is that?" See? It was not just a free latte. It was a much welcomed lesson in life. Thanks, Danielle Mills!
