One of my favorite seldom used words, at least in my opinion. For some reason it always reminds me of old times, where people said thou/thee and rode places by horse & buggie. Not sure why though. Definitely a good adjective to have on hand for any writer.

A coincidentally placed crane. I went into the bank feeling, well, ecstatic since I was cashing in my first certificate of deposit (CD). It wasn't so much the $20 that I had gained off of it in the nearly 2 years the money was sitting in there that made me ecstatic. It was the fact that this was my first "adult" investment; this CD was my first non-checking/saving account as a way to diversify my portfolio (baby steps.) I was proud of myself for having researched and signed up for one back when I got it, for taking a step in the right direction. So today I cashed in my CD. And that, my friends, makes me ecstatic.

Is there anything that makes you happy, even though it's not necessarily something another perhaps would be as excited about?

Of course we all want the ATM to be a bit more generous with us than it is. I can't be the only one to harbor the dream that it will spit money at me like a slot machine when I put my debit card in, am I? To date it has not yet happened, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed in the future.

This one found its way on to one of those middle of the floor tables next to a couple books I was looking at picking up. I thought it was a good place for it.

Ah, the mall of my childhood. Growing up in New Jersey, it's a joke that no matter where you live you are no more than 20 miles from 3 malls. (Or something like that.) And it was true, I lived near 3 malls and a 4th was a stones throw further. But this was my "home mall" where I visited the Easter Bunny, or Santa (depending on the impending holiday.) The place I hung out in my teen years with friends. The mall I bought my first pair of work crease pants from. (I actually saw the guy who sold them to me not too long ago and he remembered.)

But now this mall isn't the closest one to me and I visit it far less frequently. Since I moved, they've completely revamped its look in a better way (except for the choices in the food court, which I am not pleased with.) Going there still feels like a little piece of my past though.

Do you have any place like that? A place where, no matter the amount of time that has past, you feel like you're "home?"

If you include your email address in the section for it, I'll respond back!
