little moments

I was wearing bluejeans, and an oversized sweatshirt. On my feet were a pair of slippers. My eye makeup was smudged from a failed attempt at liquid eyeliner this morning, and my long-wear lipstick had been faded for a few hours.

I walked into the kitchen. My mother looked at me and said, “Look at you lookin so gorgemous.”

I raised an eyebrow at her. She said, “You always look gorgemous.”

I paused for a minute, and grinned. “I know.”

At the market later with my mother, I saw Nick (Mr. Perfect Kiss). I waved and smiled; he was behind one of the registers as we walked past them. He waved and smiled back, and we continued on to the Customer Service desk. A few moments later he came up to me with what was left of the giant bag of DumDum pops he kept in his car. “Ohh! Gimme lollie!” I squealed.

“Hold on a sec, I’m getting there!” he said, opening the bag. I reached in and grabbed one, and attempted to see what flavor it was. “Strawberry lemondade,” he said before I even got it out of the bag. I dropped it and picked up another–one of the mystery ones with a question mark wrapper. I opened it and it was pink. Already disappointed that it wasn’t cream soda flavored, I tasted it and made a funny face. He started naming off flavors and I knew that none of them were right. I held out the pop and he tasted it. “Bubblegum.” I wrinkled my nose, but took it back and continued to suck it anyway while we chatted.

After a few minutes he had to get back to work, but before he did, he leaned forward and kissed me. Just a small little peck, right on the lips. “I’ll see you later,” he said.

I’ve decided that since I’m not really doing anything of consequence lately, i need to pick a moment each day that made me smile, or laugh. (or cry, as the case may be). Today I had two moments 🙂
