Another "WOW" at 4+ years
Monday, my husband's van died. 
He's a painter, and NEEDS his van for hauling equipment - so yesterday morning, when we found out the repairs would cost significantly more than his van was worth, we found ourselves with the unpleasant task of having to buy a new vehicle.
The economy has NOT been kind to us these past few years, so this was a major stress event. I'm normally a stress eater. Couldn't even force myself to eat anything for breakfast.
We have purchased a number of vehicles through a particular salesman at a particular dealership over the years, so he was our first call - it just so happened he was available to work with us yesterday morning, so we drove up.
We hadn't seen him since we purchased the PT Cruiser my daughter crashed earlier this year, so that would have been 2003. We walked into his office, and he gave me one of those 'deer-in-the-headlights' kinda looks, and I realized - he didn't immediately recognize me! Once it hit him that it was ME, only in a much smaller body, he kinda gushed about how good I look, how did I do it, and when he found out it was 4 years ago, he was sincerely impressed that I seem to be doing a good job of keeping it off!
I love people who aren't always so concerned with being "PC", even if they're just too shocked to think about it before they react. I tell ya, a person just never gets sick of those kinds of moments. And this far out, they're pretty rare.
Made a crap day a little less crappy
