So, before you think I’m completely, let me explain myself. The other day, I was in Costco – all by myself – woo hoo! George was in the truck with the boys and I ran in for a few things. I loaded up the cart with about 10 things (a few more than planned) and hurried to the checkout line – where every line had at least 4 people waiting. Ok! This older man came up behind me and said “Excuse me.” My first thought was – shoot – I cut him off with my cart.
I looked over at him and smiled at him. He said, “Wow! You look great!” I immediately felt myself blushing. “Thank you” I said, as the words stumbled out of my mouth. He continued, “No really, everything you’re wearing and your hair is gorgeous. You look like a professional supermodel.” My smile got bigger and I thanked him! I wished him a good rest of the day and proceeded to the checkout counter.
I was on top of the world. Even though he was much older than me, it was extremely flattering to be a mom to 3 kids, married for 10 years, and have someone (other than George of course) give me a compliment like that!
P.S. I owe it to North Face (for my jacket), Levi’s (for my jeans), Kohls (for my shoes), E.L.F. for my makeup, and my parents for my hair – lol!
Aww ho9w cool is that… ummm can you point me in the direction of the local Costco. I DID my hair today and got NADA , not even from hubby..
What a great compliment! And I agree . . . you do look like a model!
Daughter, you are welcome for the hair.
That was a GREAT compliment!!! That would of made me smile too 🙂
Wow. Congrats. I should try some of that ELF makeup, lol. What an ego boost. Enjoy:)
Bet that makes your day!
Ohhh… that is SOOO sweet! 🙂 I’m SURE it made your day!
I bet that beautiful smile of yours was blinding as you walked out to the truck. Not to mention that 3 feet of air between you and the ground.
You deserved that.
What a nice thing for him to do… and I agree, you are beautiful!
hahahaa I loved the p.s part!!!
You ARE beautiful, and that was very nice of him to point it out. 🙂
How cool.
Awesome! And you didn’t post a picture of yourself? I wanna see! lol
Yeah I wanna see you in that getup too! I’m sure you looked spiffing. 🙂
Aw! That’s so amazing 😀
I totally agree-There is nothing like a good compliment to boost your moral and make your day!!
That’s awesome, would totally make my day too. My last few trips to Costco have been all about people practically running me over with their carts – somebody nice would be a welcome change!
What an awesome boost! I love it when strangers give compliments…because it’s not like they have to!
What a nice story and I love those kind of compliments It means a lot coming from a stranger
By the way I know a good modeling agency
it’s great to get compliments like that (espec, from strangers).
That is so nice that he actually said it to you and didn’t just think it to himself. Way to take a compliment too. I always get flustered and forget to thank people 🙂
I am sure that made your day!
It must feel great! Thanks for sharing the moment, it’d totally make everyone’s day by doing this!
Wow, I wish someone would say that to me. It would make my week, my year. I used to turn heads but now that I’m ahem let me just say midlife I don’t get that anymore. You go girl and enjoy it while you still can.
