sparkle and shine

 when i was out and about i saw a sticker that said 'sparkle and shine'. when i did an online search the top results were for a song, cleaning, and a tattoo and piercing place. even a version of the 'keep calm' meme. during this walk i found 11 cents. earlier in the evening i went to the hy-vee in eagan, 11 items bought. one of them was halloween twinkies. i figured that even if i couldn't find them there or at target a week ago, there would still be more soon and i was correct. it was part of a display near the self checkout section i like using. it was the first item i picked up during the visit. at work there was another I.M. from oshkosh saying their overnight package of checks hadn't arrived. earlier in the day i checked the tracking number for their wednesday and thursday package, neither one had moved. i checked with our internal UPS team and a 'schedule a pickup' was ordered. found out i can do this myself, thankful i didn't have to before when they usually pick up once a day at the end of the day. when i called this team it was hard to ignore how the dude was trying to answer my question before i was done asking it. near the end of the day i checked the tracking numbers and it said both were picked up and were on the way so i let the business line know. i scheduled a pick-up as i was leaving for the day to see that all of the day's envelopes went out as well. so i would like to think it is all caught up again. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard's facebook status was changed by sheldon to 'in a relationship' with dr. stephanie. it was followed by the one where we meet 'uncle harvey', the helium tank that sheldon and leonard bought from the black market. it was also one where amy's friends hijack her phone and make fun of matches on an internet dating site.
