I had a nice surprise today. A friend of mine who lives in Washington (state) called me today at work. She told me that she had purchased a Starbucks gift card for me and that I needed to pick it up at the local store here in Cali. I thanked her and said that she really did not need to do that....she said, "go today on your lunch break to pick it up and make sure you have a photo ID with you."

On my break I was debating whether to go or not. I needed to pick up my son who was in the general area of the Starbucks. I knew if I didn't go today the card would still be there tomorrow......in any event I went....in desperate need to use the restroom that was my first stop inside Starbucks. I would deal with the card after. As I was walking through the store.....out JUMPS my friend. I have not seen her in 3 years. I started crying! I was so excited to see her! Our families got together tonight and had dinner. What a nice surprise!
