Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

Wow! Christmas for Grown Ups

Mark was headed out to work this morning, at the bright dark early hour of 6:00 AM, when he tripped over a package on our doorstep--hot, fresh bagels delivered to our doorstep, for free!

This weekend we were thinking of going out for dinner Saturday night.  I remembered seeing a story in our local newspaper about a new New York-style deli opening in our area, and I started Googling like crazy to try and find the name of it.  (I never did, if you're local and you know, please share!)  I remembered the deli was going to serve bagels, so I tried googling "bagels" and came up with the most awesome bagel maker in Central Ohio, Sammy's bagels, with a tag that said free home delivery!  What???  Really???  I immediately forgot about the deli, lol.  These are absolutely our favorite bagels, but they're not widely available, and it's definitely a rare treat for us.

We messed about a bit, fantasizing about what we would order, filled out an order sheet, more just to see what the "catch" was, and clicked send.  That was it.  No email response, which didn't surprise me, the website clearly says weekend orders have to be in by Friday, perfectly fair, and there was no way to pay online, so I didn't think a whole lot more about it except to get wildly excited when we thought about the future possibilities.  Wildly excited!  Bagels in Central Ohio tend to be okay at best, the opportunity to get these, for free delivery to boot, at wholesale prices really did seem too good to be true and I honestly did not expect it to work out--I figured we were out of their delivery area, at the very least.

Well, flash forward to this morning and Mark tripping over bagels!  Yup, they delivered our order, even though we hadn't even paid for it yet, and boy were they good.  What a wonderful surprise.  We'll definitely be ordering these again...and again...   $9.99 for a dozen bagels delivered fresh to my door?  Yes, please!
