I had a big success yesterday at work, which made me happy. It energized me. It made me glad I do what I do for a living. That was the first of those days I've had in a very, very, very long time. I've accomplished so much in 5 years with this company. Have I accomplished all that I can? Is it time for a change?
Last night Daisy and TEN came over, and TEN cooked a stir fry with steak, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, asparagus, peppers and onions. It was delish. He was sure to remind me to eat on the "You Are Special Today" plate :)
No. I'm not kidding.
This plate exists in my life.
It has since I was a little girl.
Birthdays, report cards, making teams, making captain.
This plate has always been a part of my life. And, when I moved out after college my mother gave it to me to take along on my journey. Last night was a milestone in my life, and I ate off of the red plate:
I need to start using this plate more often for the successes the people in my life have. Because even though it's just a small gesture, I really did feel extra "special" :)

Aww that's so sweet! Love it!
That stir fry sounds yum too!
Love this tradition! And I am in desperate need of one of those accomplishments at work. Like ASAP. I literally almost said "I quit" while on the phone with my bosses yesterday. No bueno.
I love the plate!! I want one :)
ANd, congrats on the big day!!
Shrimp, steak AND CHICKEN all in one dish- that takes a lot of effort to make!!
Love the plate. And you should buy yourself a little somethin' somethin' to celebrate your success. A little something pretty or a little something sparkly. Sparkly, in my experience, is always better.
Yayyyyy!
I love the plate, especially since your Mama sent you off into the big world with it! Don't you ever lose that plate...
Love,
Mrs. Kindergarten
p.s.
I do so hope that precious Louis has his very own special celebration puppy plate, if not please fix that a.s.a.p.
Love,
Mrs. Kindergarten
What a cute idea! I just saw some cute napkins I am going to send a friend of mine to pack in her lunch. She's feeling down about a break up so I hope it will make her smile.
:) how neat! I think your special plate is brilliant! how lucky you are to have that!
love this! my mom has this one random floral plate that must have been left from a party or something that became the 'special plate' when i was growing up. its the little things! :)
I really like this quote - it's going right in my book of quotes! Also I think your plate is all kinds of awesome.
Aww, love it! We had one of those growing up and would eat on it on our birthday.
They have a whole line of dinnerware with that saying on it now... you can get it all at Sur La Table!
