in your good graces

as i so frankly wrote about .. i had a rough week or so.
usually i'm pretty good about not exactly showing this to people.
..or at least i thought.
i think sometimes i'm not the nicest when i'm so focused on a goal, i forget about all the extra stuff, aka the nice people i pass along the way, etc.
hopefully i can use this as an excuse for my behavior last week.
okay. so this sounds confusing. let me explain.

i got to babysit last night! it was so much fun!
his name was finn and he was three. we had dinner and played a game, i was a pirate and he was a monster.
he chased me around the apartment until it was bedtime. then we read some stories and he hit the hay.
kids are so much fun!

i got back around 1245 ish when i got this text from who we'll call "nice boy #1"
his text said "hey its nice boy #1, nice boy #2 and i need a favor, are you awake?"
..or something like that. so i called NB #1
"hey i just got back is everything alright?"
"yeah we just need to talk to you about something."
"um.. alright, right now?"
"yeah can we come meet you outside?"
"ok i'm going to go put my stuff in my room than i'll meet you outside"
"ok."

so i went and met them outside. i had a really mean approach at first to be honest.
it was filled with phrases like
"what are you going to do to me?"
"i'm really not in the mood for a prank."
"are you with other people i can't see?"
then they assured me they just wanted to talk.

they said i seemed like something was up the past while and they wanted to make sure i was okay, they were worried they maybe did something to make me mad, and i just didn't seem myself. 
i felt so bad! i asked if i had been rude to them and apologized, i'm sure i had without trying.
i was so taken off guard by their genuine concern!
then NB#1 pulled out a vase from behind his back and gave me a flower!
not a dozen roses they had bought me, just something simple and so sweet to show they cared.
they said they wanted to make sure they were "in my good graces."
hahhaa. i love it. i'm like the evil queen that is so mean but people feel like they have to suck up to her. not a good place to be.

anyways. how cute? how sweet? how thoughtful?
yeah. really. i like it when life takes me off guard a bit with nice, little things like this. 
basically made my week. 

thanks NB #1 and NB #2 :)
