Hi all . . . promise no rant, soapbox or folksy wisdom just a quaint funny story.
I remembered a thread a few weeks ago about "CDing coming in handy" or such words and could not think of a thing to say at the time. Well yesterday I had an experience where being a CDer came in handy. Before I get there, I have to paint the picture as it occurred a few weeks back. I was having a bit of Isha time and had stopped by a Starbucks (not one I normally frequent - boy or girl) for a latte. I decided to buy a bag of coffee and have it ground. My latte was ready quickly and I got talking to the girl who made the latte (she liked my nail polish) and completely forgot about my coffee and I left. Now I didn't realize it until I got home and when I did I felt quite stupid. I could have driven back but that would have been a 30 minute drive . . chalk one up to stupidity.
So yesterday I was in the same area and stopped at the same Starbucks to buy a latte. Low and behold the young girl who made my latte last time said "Miss, we have your coffee still from the last time", I smiled and said "Yeah I guess I am kind of hard to forget" she smiled back and said "Oh . . . It wasn't that, I just remembered your blue nail polish and you are wearing it again today" The intent was polite and she was kind so I thanked her for remembering and I got my coffee back.
If I had been "en boy" it is likely I would never had seen that coffee again . . . so in this instance CDing came in handy.
Hugs
Isha
