I'm a preschool teacher so pretty much everything I do M-F is selfless.

No complaints.

I gave dd my cookie.

It was a really good cookie.

I had my daughter and her friend with me this morning and bought the friend three pairs of shorts. I know her (single) mom doesn't have a lot of money and the girl mentioned she only had two pair.

It's not amazing. It's just the nature of the job. Anyone can recognize that.

I did it with my husband.

Where's MY medal?

I donated platelets and volunteered at a preschool (I don't have kids) to help wih admin.

I regularly chat up the elderly people at the gym. I'm not really interested in talking to *anyone* at the gym - I'd rather get in, work out, and then get out. But I know sometimes, people just need someone to talk to and have a conversation with. And it's usually a lot of lonely elderly women going 1 mph on the bike, that don't have a lot of people who listen. So I listen and chat with them, as long as they need to get it out.

I had just an hour to myself the other day and I stopped to help a dad and his injured child. They were in a parking lot and she had burned her leg on his car's tail pipe. It didn't take that long but it was the first hour to myself that I had had in several days.

I gave my Starbucks gift card to a newly awakened, cold looking homeless person while I was running through the park.

Similar to PP, I gave 20 bucks to preganant homeless woman on the street. I hope she uses the $$ for food, but I will never know. I'll continue to pray for her.

I was in a hurry to pick up some ad-hoc cupcakes. In front of me was a grandma on a mission to place the perfect cake order.

The cupcake barista asked grandma to wait in case I had a quick order. I asked a few questions, and decided that grandma deserved some me-time.

I waited patiently while they discussed frosting types, etc... and chatted it up with other waiting patrons.

I really hope this grandma has a lovely party.

So you waited your turn in line to let someone who was there before you place her order?

Wow, you are truly Mother Theresa.

Mother Theresa, no! Mother cupcake, yes!

I didn't cut in front, the barista understood that this particular patron needed additional time. She offered me a short cut, and I ceded to the elderly.

I guess I suck for liking cupcakes. Sorry.
