I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

3 Things...

Day #61:
Today I noticed 3 things.

First - Apparently there are a whole lot of "adults" in this world that their parents never told them "No". Case in point, if a rate is not available, IT IS NOT AVAILABLE. No matter how loud you scream, it won't be available. Also, I don't care if you sent me a donation request letter. Just because you WANT something, doesn't mean you'll get it. Sometimes the answer is no. Deal with it.
Second - Fake it until you make it is a true statement. Also, I'll probably never again believe somebody when I ask them what is good on the menu. Today, I got a call to go and explain the 360 menu to a couple of ladies at the front desk. I've never eaten a meal in 360. It's fine dining. Besides that, about 80% of the menu is meat. I'M VEGETARIAN. However, I told Chef to give me a few highlights and I went out and rattled off all the good stuff. It was hilarious. Scallops, Duck Breast, Cobia... and then came my FAVORITE question,
Lady: "So, which would you prefer, the Kobe Filet or the Kobeye Ribeye?
Me: "Definitely the filet. It really depends on the cut of meat you prefer, but I'd definitely go with the filet."
My thought, filet sounds like it wouldn't have bones. Ribeye sounded like it would have bones. Gnawing on a bone makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little. Bring it all around and that's why I picked the filet. Chef cracked up when I told him, and only replied, "You are SUCH a vegetarian." Best.Conversation.Ever.
Third - Little kid basketball is MUCH better than little kid baseball. AND if I ever do have kids, I promise to only and always be the parent in the stand that cheers no matter what the score and I will tell them they were AWESOME when the game is finished. Carson lights up when we go see him play because I always cheer loudest for him. I think it's a good thing. Kids should enjoy sports instead of feeling like the world will end tomorrow if they don't win a rec league ballgame.

That was my Tuesday. :0)
