Life should be more like a cartoon musical

About a week ago I was in Marshall's trying on some hats. I just adore hats. Wearing a hat makes me feel like a 1940's film star. I was trying out this little wide brimmed straw number with a black grosgrain ribbon band, and I decided to pop my huge white sunglasses on to see how it all looked. As I was looking in the mirror I hear this little whistling sound, and I look over to the aisle on my right and there is this little old black lady standing there. "I was just whistlin' at you, it looks good on you child." I thanked her and we shared a giggle. It was adorable, and so of course I bought the hat.

Last night we had our final show at second city. I was going out after the show to celebrate a birthday at a club downtown. My cousin was supposed to pick me up after the show so we could car pool. So I was standing outside Piper's Alley waiting and looking for the van. I decided to call and see where they were and just as I put the phone to my ear to listen for George to pick up an old man came up to me and starting talking to me about the show.

The phone is ringing, but this man just keeps talking to me, telling me how great the show is, that I was so good, telling haw my Realtor was just perfect, and giving me sketch ideas he thinks that we could develop into something funny. All the while I am chatting back to him and being friendly, and I keep whispering into the phone for them to stay on the line. I hear Tim hollering at George about not being the one driving, and how he's on hold. And this little old man just keeps chatting away. I don't even think he noticed the phone at all. It was just cute. He was such a dear little old man.

It was such a sweet little moment, made me kind of stop and think about someone else while I was bustling about my life. It was a nice little check, a reminder in how little it costs to be friendly. It made my night a little nicer.

I finally watched Enchanted. It was wonderful. I want my life to be a cartoon musical. I figure I'm part of the way there, I've got Disney princess eyes, an over-expressive face, a comical animal sidekick, and a penchant for bursting into song.
