I've been fighting the cold for 2 1/2 weeks. Fighting it with gingerale and brownies. Oh, and lemonchello. The homemade kind. In my hot tea. It's a healthy fight I've been fighting.....
Well I decided I needed to get off my duff and do something productive today. Make someone else's day good. Feeling good sometimes starts on the inside.(Ok, Ok, I made a hair appointment of course. Getting on the right path always requires beauty regimens too!) So, before going to story time I made out a few good fortunes for random strangers. I wrote them out and when we got the the library my little one and I put them in random books and magazines. Who doesn't love to open a book and find a nice note from a complete stranger?!!!! I know I would get a kick out of it! I think my favorite part was putting notes like " you are beautiful" or "you are awesome" into the Judy Blume section (for those of you who don't know who Judy Blume is, she wrote a series of books for little girls to read, the ones that make you feel like you're not such a freak when you're at that really freaky stage in your life)
I think it was a good start to ending the laze phase.... tomorrow.. healthy food. Back to the good stuff!!!

That is one of the coolest things I have heard lately... thank you for posting this...
OOOOOH, Lemoncello in hot tea - brilliant! Thanks for the suggestion. Love the secret admirer notes - play it forward.
What a great idea Stacey! I've paid for coffee in the drive through for people behind me, but I never thought of doing something like this (especially notes relating to the books people read).
By the way, I'm hoping to jump off that train with you!
I love the notes idea! It is great that you did it with Parker too, a good lesson in kindness for him. I also like Louise's coffee idea! I'll have to do that one tomorrow.
I think you are more awesome every time I visit your blog. Will you come to my library next? I'm reading the "Twilight" series, and I look forward to my note. :)
Your images are beautiful, and I love this idea. What a wonderful person you must be!
So sweet! I love finding things in library books. And I arrived at the same train station today with a box of Mike & Ike's and a bag of Icy Squares (What?! Completely out of character). I am NOT getting on this train!
Thanks all it was a great project.
Susan....I've gone through a fifth in a month, YIKES!!!!! It's so good when you're coughing though.
Louise, I haven't done that yet, we don't have drive throughs here. :( (For coffee anyway and I don't eat fast food)
Beth, I asked part what kind of nice things he would say and he told me " Mommy, you should write "please" and "thank you!"
Lisa, which one are you on? I promised myself I wouldn't get into the series, but I'll be darned if I didn't trot on into the bookstore and buy one today!
First lite.. thank you. Thanks for visiting!
Sherrie! I hope you are feeling better soon. Yum.. mike and ikes!
