Apparently, I'm bubbly

Here's my most recent LO. I had fun doing it, and my goofy husband made me laugh. Gotta love a man who thinks you're sexy no matter how screwy your hair is or that you're up to your elbows in dirty diapers! The conversation went something like this:

Hey, remember that digidare thing I've told you about?

Yeah.

Well, this week the challenge is to scrap about me. But I have to do it with one word that you would use to describe me. So... what one word would you use for me?

Just one? How about _______?

What?!? I can't use THAT on the digidare!

Well, you asked, and I told you the first word that comes to mind because you're so sexy!

Come on, please?

Ok, how about... Bubbly?

Bubbly???

Yes, you're outgoing, and fun and a real people person. You're a total complement to me in that way, because I'm not those things. So we make a good pair.

HOURS LATER:
How about "Kind, intelligent, beautiful, mother, wonderful?"

What? Oh, you mean the one word to describe me?

Yeah, I've been thinking about it all evening at work.... Well, when I wasn't actually working. There are so many wonderful words to describe you. I don't know if I can pick just one.

But I need just one.

I don't think I should have to pick just one, but if I do, I still think you're bubbly. And it's something I really love about you.

RAK'd

If you happen to read my blog (rather unlikely, but possible as I do have a few comments), you can see that I'm not a great blogger by any stretch. But when I was looking at the challenges at digiscrapshak, I found this one for a blogging entry on being RAK'd. I remember the first time I even heard the term Random Act of Kindness. I read an article probably 15+ years ago about "Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty" and was so touched by it that I photocopied it and gave it to friends and family. Now the term is common, but I still love it.

I had a friend treat me to a RAK recently. She's one of those people who always brings a smile to my face. She thinks of others before herself, but is also a joy to be around because she doesn't seem put upon for it. My DH and I were having company over for dinner. It was people I didn't really know (the wife works with my DH--I'd met her but not her DH or baby), which made me more anxious about it than I would normally have been. That same day, there was a baby shower for my SIL, which I obviously couldn't skip out on. So even though my house wasn't as tidy as I wanted, I went to the shower. As I was leaving a little early, I mentioned to my friend why I had to go. 20 minutes after I got home, she called to tell me that she was on her way over to help me finish cleaning. She showed up, grabbed a broom and set to work. We had a great time visiting while we worked and I felt so loved by her sweet act of service. She makes me want to be a better person. What better kind of friend or RAK is there?
