So many little things to report:
a) I did my one good deed today…I found a little stuffed animal sheep on the sidewalk when I was out for my morning jaunt. I thought to myself, “Hey Assie, this must be an early Easter gift that someone just lost. How sad.” Then I looked ahead and saw about 3-5 blocks in the far off distance a woman with a stroller. I decided that there was maybe a 65% chance that the sheep belonged to her kid so I might as well try and return the animal to them. Sure enough it was theirs and the mother/nanny/friend was sooooooooooo grateful. I felt like the shiz-nat.
b.) I had a garbage man say good morning to me today outside of Jeremy’s clothing store. This was momentous because 1.) he didn’t say good morning to the people in front of me and 2.) I was hidden behind my hat and looked deathly so he must have made an extra special effort to produce his greeting.
c.) I made the following recipe today in an effort to try and use some semi-expired yogurt that had never been opened. IT IS SO TASTY (and moist, although I don’t like to use the word moist too often)!! The taste is reminiscent of Intermezzo’s bread and Emily’s sweet pizza dough. Love it.

d.) I have my confirmation number for a ham. How often do you have a confirmation number for ham?
