Paper cups full of yellow happiness

Today I decided to go out for a walk. Firstly, because it was quite nice outside and secondly, because I've been doing a lot of reading during my vacation (aka: sitting on my ass) so I know I'm going to be hurting when I go back to work if I don't make blood flow through my body at some point. I was about half a block away from my house when I saw two young girls and their lemonade stand. All I had on me was my house key and my walkman. That's right. You heard me. I have yet to get an iPod. Anyway, I smiled as I went by, but felt bad that I couldn't make a purchase. When I got to my apartment, I grabbed some change, took off my headphones and walked back to their little table.
It was funny. They saw me coming back and I could tell the wondered what the hell was going on. I said hello and told them I didn't have any money the first time I went by, but I really wanted some lemonade so I came back. They were both very polite and sweet. One girl held out the glass jar for me to put my money into while the other asked if I wanted a full glass. I answered, yes please and got the usual papercup of yellow happiness. I said thank you and told them I hoped they had a good sales day.
As I walked home, I thought about how my sister and I had tried once to have a lemonade stand when we lived in the country. The only people who came were our neighbors, even though we tried waving down a couple of semis that drove by. I have to admit that going back for the lemonade put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. You gotta love it when the littlest things bring the nicest results.

As a side note, just read that the DVD for Lost season 3 is scheduled (right now anyway) to come out on Dec. 11. Ugly Betty is set for Aug. 21. I know you are all scrambling for your calendars as we speak...er, write.
