Ma'am?!

My 28th year of life has been going on for about a week and a half now. Since then I've been addressed as ma'am by two different young men. One was on an airplane, where I was sitting next to a college sophomore. He and I had a nice chat, but he answered every question with a "yes, ma'am" or "no, ma'am". A college sophomore. Am I so advanced in years that he felt like he needed to do that?

Tonight at Barnes and Noble, I asked two young men if they were using a third chair at their table. The answer? "No, ma'am".

Really?

This week I kind of dropped the ball as far as pictures go. The first one was provided by my friend Dani, who graciously shared her pictures with me.

Enjoy! :)

July 17: My small group enjoyed fondue and games on Saturday night. One pot of cheese fondue, one pot of chocolate. Throw in good friends and a game of Balderdash, and it's the perfect combination!

July 18: Frozen yogurt with Kim. We went to a place called Fresh Berry, which is owned by a former coworker of hers. I love this picture. :)

July 19: No picture today.

July 20: Finally got pictures hung up on the wall! I think that means I'm officially unpacked!

July 21: Iced coffee whilst reading on a hot day in July? Yes, please.

July 22: This is my walking buddy, Precious. She belongs to my roommate, and she's been a great dog to have around! She and I have bonded on some recent walks around the neighborhood.

July 23: Dinner with Cary. :)

Me: I need to take your picture before we lose the light.

Cary: What should I pose with?

Me: [Looking around, pondering]

Cary: I could stick my finger in this jam.

Me: Of course!

And that's why we're friends. Love you, Cary!
