The Life of a Southern Girl

Don't dig out your old computer and look up old emails. Nothing good can come of it.

This is a test. I am posting from my EnV Touch. Which I have a love hate relationship with. The text is so tiny , I can't see if I am spelling correctly. Hitting the right keys, I should say. It's going to be so funny to read this tomorrow when I am able to boot up my sorry ass laptop.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy yellow dog.

A couple of cool sightings today. I walked into work and Montel was at a table. I didn't want to bother him so I just waved. He waved back with a smile that said, "I'm waving back, but have no clue who you are." lol A couple of hours later, a large Secret Service detail walked by & at first I couldn't see who was in the middle. I got a small glimpse of Hillary Clinton looking very smart in her Jackie O best. Saw "BREAKING NEWS" a few hours later on CNN with her speaking in DC about the WikiLeaks. Apparently, "BREAKING NEWS" on CNN has a huge delay as Hillary was LEAVING DC when I saw her. Funny!

Peace

So....I'm having a very crappy shift. People are not being as nice as they should. Considering that they are having a bad day & I am the one in control of the alcohol. My bar is packed & there is no available place to sit. This guy walks up to the service end of the bar and kind of stands there. He's not really trying to get my attention; just trying to stay out of the way of all the other craziness going on. I asked him what he would like & he orders a chardonnay, pays his tab, tips me big, & moves away. Now, when he first walked up, in my head, I said, "That's a really small guy". Not Little Person small; but small. In either case, he found a seat & sat there enjoying his wine. Next thing, he's approached by someone that asks to take a pic w/ him. Then approached by people asking for autographs & more pics. And he's got the prettiest girls in the room trying to get next to him. I was at a loss. I had no idea who he was. He came up to the bar again to order another wine & he just floored me with an incredible smile. At that point I just loved him w/out knowing who he was. I just knew he was a very kind person. I saw a gentleman at my bar speak to him & I asked, "Who's smiley?". "That's Calvin Borel. He won the Derby". OMG. Every now and again I have a person unintentionally make my day. It's never been a Derby winner. Good Times!
