Minor victory thread

...I originally read that as "Ahe-gao ink" and was like "wut"? Though at least we know what the logo on the bottle would be...
I did the same thing. I swear between this and the "f2p/fap" thing, I think my brain has finally gotten used to it here.
 
There is a really yummy Tex-Mex restaurant one town over from us that is known for having notes left on it's tables. Basically, all the tables have plastic covers on them, so people tend to leave notes, drawings, etc. on scraps of paper under the plastic. I've done a few myself over the years. They get so many notes that every few months they have empty the tables.

Tonight, Mr. Z stops in to pick up our take out order, and when the waitress puts our bag on a table, he sees a sketch I left there 4 years ago! She asked if he drew it, and when he told her it was from his wife, she gets excited and says not only is it her favorite, but there's a rule among the waitresses that they can throw out all the notes, but that one MUST be returned to a table. She's only worked there a year, so this is a rule that's been passed down. It's such a silly thing, but I was so excited/flattered when Mr. Z was telling me about this in the car.

The sketch in question, as photographed by Mr. Z tonight. (I didn't think was going to survive it's first culling, otherwise I would have put in some more effort!):

Your comment about being "one town over" just rather hits home about how small the northeast is. That town is probably less than 10 miles (at a guess) away, around here, the next town over is 20 miles north, 30 miles south, and 45-50 east and west... Texas is BIG.
 
That moment when you are flagging bad on the last two minutes of your run because you tried to push your pace, and you are thinking of just quitting two minutes early, then Eye of the Tiger comes on and you nail that shit, even if you only manage a weak jog, because it's still better than giving up and walking.
 
This is a real minor victory but it still made my day so I am posting it anyways. I decided a few months ago to grow my hair out because I have wanted long hair since I was little. But I always chickened out after a couple of months, so earlier this year I decided I was going to actually grow it out and stick with it. While it still isn't long I realized today that when I wear my hair messy it is now long enough to start getting in my line of sight! :D
 
I grew it out a few years ago when I decided that it was silly to keep my hair cropped nearly shaved when I was in my mid-thirties and had no receding hairline and no gray.

It's not uncommon for me to go 6 months or more between haircuts. My cue to visit the barber is usually when it's no longer possible for me to keep that hair from getting into my ears. Which drives me nuts.

This. Or when it starts whipping into my eyes when I drive with the window down.
 
I shave my hair thrice weekly because I've been balding since I was 15. I still have a LOT of hair all around but absolutely nothing on top. Damn you all and your monkey genes providing extra hair.
 
I have wildly thick hair that grows really quickly but sadly it still seems to take forever to get long. Plus I have curly hair so it doesn't look as long as it really is.

This. Instead of flowing, it gathers into a giant hair-helmet of dark curls (my hair is wavy instead of curly).
