After lunch today (at my favorite cafe that has amazing soup), I walked back to work quickly – as there is much work being done and both my boss and I snuck out for food with only fifteen minutes to do so – and there was a woman, unhappily leaning against the brick wall.  I was just so happy about my soup being so wonderful, that I gave her a really big smile.  Normally, I smile at people, but this smile was full wattage. 

She looks at me strangely, then half-smiles back, and complemented my purse.  I thanked her and she went into a fun rant about purses; how she always carries one that outweighs her times three and how women like me seem to get by with tiny little bags.  It was very funny and sounded a bit like a comedy sketch.  She was laughing by the end and I headed off back to work, smile still in place.
