I was supposed to baby-sit for neighbors from 5:30 to 9-ish tonight. The mom has to be downtown (Seattle) and the dad was in Portland. However, the dad's meeting was canceled so he'll be home and they don't need me to watch their sweet daughter. This is how amazing they are- she bundled up the baby (she's 7 mos) to come over and tell me in person that they don't need me (because she doesn't have my phone number- we set up baby-sitting dates via e-mail), and she gave me $25 because she felt bad for canceling.
Amazing.
When she left I said to my husband, "They are such incredibly sweet and generous people!". His reply was poignant, and kind of sad-- he said, "Doesn't it break your heart when people like that aren't Christians and so many who claim to be Christians are the opposite?".
Yes, yes it does.

About Tamdomosities
I keep up a regular blog about my journey through weight loss at FoodeFight. I found that the recent explosion of "25 Random Things" on Facebook, along with the ability to Tweet and update my Facebook status, has caused me to think of dozens of things a day that are utterly random that I would want to post. But FoodeFight isn't really the place, and if I updated my Facebook / Twitter statuses 17 times a day people would want to kill me. Or delete me as friend / stop following me. Then... the idea for Tamdomosities struck.
Genius, I say.
Plus, for my web obsessed friends who get upset when I don't blog every day, this will be a fun place to check in. Hopefully it will be entertaining.
