Feeling the Friday vibes hard today. Time to go somewhere warm. #wanderlust #rexcoffee #gingerbarista #morningcoffee #nyccoffee #cortado #counterculture (at Rex)

I was going to do it!  I was going to tell him that I really liked his smile.  I got up early and flat ironed my hair.  I put on the cutest outfit that I own that was work appropriate.  I had my makeup all done fresh and cute.   I had the confidence today!  I was going to be unstoppable! It’s funny how you can learn life lessons from kids.  Sometimes what kids say is pure gold!  I’m serious!  Talk to a kid sometime.  It could change your life!  I was over at my sister’s house chillin’ with my niece and my 13-year-old nephew comes into the bedroom.  We were telling him that when he gets a girlfriend that he shouldn’t flirt with other girls.  He said, “I don’t!  I just compliment them.”  Suffice to say, my niece didn’t like that answer.  But that answer literally changed my life last night.  It took almost a week to set in because my brain is old but it changed my life.  It’s just a compliment.  It’s… just… a… compliment!  I was only going to compliment him on his amazing smile!!  No harm! No foul!  This is great!! I’m walking out the door with the new found confidence because of a sentence my teenage nephew said and I get to the coffee place……. HE’S WORKING THE OTHER WINDOW!!!  COME ON!!!!  Ah, well.  I’m not going to waste the cute.  I’m going to be walking around the office sprinkling the cute everywhere today.
