n. pl. brav·er·ies
1. The condition or quality of being brave; courage. 2. Splendor or magnificence; show.
I work from home, basically, but have to touch in from time to time to an office in a less than ideal area. An area where you exit the freeway and roll your windows up, looking only straight ahead (haha just thought of office space where the white dude is rapping until someone pulls up next to him- he rolls the window up). The only problem is, this shady area is laden with thrift shops!
Thrift shops with Treasures.... I'm just sure of it!!! But each time I get off the freeway from that long drive, I just head to the office, turn in my papers, and hit the road. But not the other day, OH NO! I wasn't gonna let a freaky hood scare me away. I was gonna be brave. I pulled into the parking lot of the biggest thrift shop I could find (annnnd where there weren't too many shifty people out front!) I wandered delightfully around the shop for a bit and did indeed find some treasures:

placemats, necklace, anklet, mexi coasters (these might be one of my favorite finds!!!)
So I left that place in a pretty light hearted spirit.
I pulled up to a four way stop sign where a guy was about to cross in front of me with his three wheel trike-rickshaw ride. Just then a dog started darting out across the street barking at the now scared rickshaw rider and, just then, to rickshaw's pleasure, a car was pulling up to a stop sign and nearly hit the dog. The rickshaw rider started LAUGHING, like "hahah look what you got!"and glancing over at me, we laughed together for a second. That musta ticked off the dog becuase after rickshaw dude started riding away, the dog, who had just narrowly escaped the car, started b-lining through the street again barking at rickshaw man, chasing him. He leaped off his ride swinging it around at the dog, pissed and scared once more! OH MAN! I got a kick out of all this.
Bravery and Laughter.
A perfect afternoon.
Happy Wednesday!
