Superstore had dry pasta on sale for $0.88 this weekend. I bought 4 bags and put them in the Interfaith Food Bank Container as I was leaving the store.
RAoK- making sure someone gets something to eat...

Day 35- February 4th 2012
My BFF and I started playing this 'game' today via text messaging. She sees a life coach and this was an activity that she was encouraged to try. We decided to give it a try...and so far, it has been awesome!
The premise is this, at some point during the day she will text me (or I will text her) and ask the question, "What do you need to hear today?" the person recieving the text will then reply with whatever it is that they need to hear that day. An example might be something like, "Today I need to hear that I am not ruining my children..." and then the other persons job is to respond keeping what the other person needs to hear in mind. All I can say about this game is that it is the pick me up I need EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I've since started doing it with another friend...and pretty soon, I'm hoping the get my hubby on board. I asked him the other day what he needed to hear...his response? "That someone has just deposited one million dollars into our bank!"...seriously! LOL.
I definitely suggest that everyone should start playing this game...it is truly wonderful to be told things about yourself that you don't necessarily think of yourself and/or hear very often.
Today's RAoK- pick me ups...!

Day 34- February 3rd 2012
There are speed traps all over Calgary. Everyone speeds so it makes sense. They usually hide so that they aren't visible until the very last second, until it is too late to slow down.
Anyhow, I drive the speed limit. Maybe 3-5km above, but rarely any faster (unless I'm on the highway...). The major road outside of our community is undergoing a lot of construction right now, and the speed limit is 60km. I ALWAYS drive that speed as there are ALWAYS cops along there. Today, I was going 60, and there was this guy (read: douche) behind me, riding right on my tail. I continued going the speed I was going, and I believe I even tapped my breaks to let tell him to back off. But he didn't.
Now I'm sure you are wondering how this incorporates a RAoK....just wait...
So I'm driving along, going just below the speed limit now, and wham, I see a cop. I'm going slow and so is the guy behind me who was riding on my tail. I round the bend and get onto Deerfoot, where this guy takes off to my right, his intentions clearly to pass this 'Mom in her minivan who drives the speed limit'. I look out my window as he passed and he waved and smiled at me. A thank you I like to think...because he stayed behind me, he avoided a pretty pricey speeding ticket...because we all know that speeding fines DOUBLE in constuction zones....
Lucky guy!

Day 33- February 2nd 2012
I wrote a letter to someone who needed to hear that she wasn't failing.
She also needed to hear that she was the sunshine in someone's life...which she totally is. I see it every day.
Today's RAoK- telling someone what she needed to hear...

Day 32- February 1st 2012
A friend sent me a text today, thanking me for some of my silly antics...like how overly dramatic I am when we get together every Thursday night to watch Vampire Diaries, and my mad skull finding skillz on Pinterest...
I asked her why...
She said she is going to do RAoK all month...February is the perfect month for that!
So I used her idea, and sent a number of texts to various women who I appreciate, and I told them why!
So thanks K!
RAoK- letting people know they are appreciated!

Day 31- January 31st 2012
I took my neighbour a mini Apple Toffee loaf today as a 'thank you' for watching Mr. Man on the weekend while I Zumba'd. It was just recently brought to my attention how sometimes lines can be blurred between friends when it comes to watching/babysitting each others kids and expected payment. I always will offer to pay, and usually it is always declined...so instead, I bring something over (like dinner or a loaf or cookies) or I make a nice card...I always want to make sure the people in my life know how much I love having them there and that their acts of generosity and kindness towards me do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Because- they are ALWAYS noticed and ALWAYS appreciated.
Thanks A for helping out with Mr. Man, and Miss C...I'm not looking forward to you moving... :(
Today's RAoK- thanks!

Day 30- January 30th 2012
I got into my car tonight to go tutor, and I realized that I hadn't done my RAoK yet. I was kind of kicking myself when this HUGE dog jumped up into my van...SERIOUSLY! This happened. A lady came running up behind this dog, apologizing profusely. I told her it was no problem and I helped her get the dogs collar back on. She thanked me and continued on her walk.
Totally random.
Today's RAoK- getting a dog out of my car and back in a collar.
Woof!
