Numbers 62 - 64

62. Get my car detailed
63. Replace the back window handle on my car from when someone busted the windows
64. Buy a new clicker for my car



By no choice of my own numbers 62 - 64 have to be crossed off since my car is no longer with us, even though I had bought the back handle almost a week before my cars death. Sad day. My car will truly be missed. She has been with me since undergrad and she was my very first car. BUT hopefully I will be able to find an even better car to take me through the next couple of years of my life :)

#27 Buy a Stranger a Meal


So far I have completed two things off my 101 things in 1001 days. Today I bought a stranger a meal and what a great feeling it was! I was leaving Auto Zone and at the corner a lady was holding a sign that said "Homeless Veteran, please help." So I rolled down my window to see if she was hungry and if I could buy her a meal at a nearby restaurant. She said that would be great, so I turned around back into the shopping center and had her meet me at Mr. Subb. I let her choose the sandwich she wanted and made it a combo meal for her. She seemed genuinely thankful for the sandwich meal.

So I asked her where she served, seeing that she was a "veteran" and all and she told me Afghanistan. How much of that I believe, I don't know but to each there own. I almost asked her if I could take a picture with her since I happened to have my camera and had made plans to blog today, but I thought that might be rude! haha


Now I can cross something off of my list - #27 Buy a stranger a meal
