so once a year the nation comes together to celebrate the birth of 'merica.
that day was not today. it was actually a couple weeks ago.
fail marisa.
for instance...today, i went to a coffee shop. well...(brief self dialogue):
who am i kidding, no need to be cryptic and hipster. you're not that cool)
i went to starbucks.
to start off properly...i went target-walking (favorite pastime) but this time, i was on a mission.
someone at work was eating carrots and hummus and you know when you're not hungry
but see someone else eating and suddenly you NEED to eat food?
and not any food...ONLY that food?
well yes, that particular craving took hold and i needed hummus and carrots.
so i went to target.
while there, i stopped by my favorite sections of the store: purse clearance, shoes, books, unhealthy snacks, healthy snacks, curly hair products, and makeup (in that order).
after wasting a good 35 minutes, i finally made it to the checkout and i was ready to go home
when decided to gaze a little too long into the eyes of that green haired goddess.
(sorry, i know...i am not a stephanie meyer. i should get to the point.)
~~GETTING TO THE POINT~~
seeing the sign and barely anything else, i didn't realize the line was kind of long.
but i was like this coffee needs me. so i jumped in and waited.
........and waited.
....and waited.
waited.
wait.
wa.
until i finally got to the counter where a very nice, solo worker called jay
apologized for the wait and upgraded me to a venti when i asked for a grande.
he also complemented me on my patience and didn't charge me for my
two shots of vanilla (yes--i'm that customer).
it's funny because i'm really notttt patient. like at all.
probably how you guys feel with the point of this post.
what i'm trying to go with is to appreciate everyday...no matter if it's a day to celebrate or not :)

this was my 'merica day:
we went to the free philly concert...which had approximately one bajillion people there.
(well, behind this dementor looking thing...)
