You'll certainly hear from me (or at least sense my angry aura) if I read your blog often and you fail to post regularly. However, it has been nearly a month since I have posted something myself and I am feeling quite hypocritical. I blame Chemistry class for my non-posts. Anyway, here's a little something for you to enjoy...
Lately I've been feeling a little bit like Eeyore, walking around with my personal dark cloud looming. Classes, work, and money issues really bring me down. All that aside, I am extremely blessed to be healthy, wealthy (on 3rd world standards...), and loved. I decided I'm going to write about some things that I love and cross my fingers that this optimism will spill over into March.
I love my apartment. I love the comfort of familiarity and a parking space that's (almost) always open. I love hearing Hank meowing at the top of his little lungs from the other room.
I love my job. Overstatement of the century, but in comparison with past employment, this is Cloud 9.
I love my family. My parents are so great and so generous. My sister is the greatest and her offspring are fantastic. I love going to visit a place that feels like home even though it's been 6 1/2 years since I've really lived there.
I love my friends. I am so blessed to have people in my life that realize I'm crazy and love me still. Also people who will tell me when I'm being dumb.. I think everyone should have that. And people who laugh at my jokes.
I love Tom. I'm so lucky to be so well taken care of, pampered, and loved all the time. He does my dishes and takes out my trash and rubs my feet because he knows the things that mean the most to me.
I love my car. It's not a shiny red Mustang anymore, but it's cute and fun and starts every time I turn the key. I also love the extra people/cargo space and you have never seen a bigger glove box, I swear. I highly recommend the Mazda 3. Go to OCmazda.com for more information.
I do not love school. I love that it is not 1850 and I can go to college and learn pretty much whatever I want, should I choose to do so. Chemistry makes me forget that.
I love new experiences. Tommy and I went to an Asian supermarket in the depths of Anaheim in search of egg drop and hot and sour soup. It was like visiting every Asian country and Mexico all in one afternoon.
I love celebrating things, even if they're silly things. Tommy and I celebrated our anniversary with a nice dinner and a round of minigolf. We also celebrate Thursday afternoons when chemistry is over, often with a cocktail.
I love laying in bed knowing there is a whole night of sleep ahead of me and I love waking up well-rested.
I love turkey burgers, pickles, potatoes, pot pies, Dasani water, ice cold Diet Coke and sour things. And Activia yogurt for regularity.
Ahhhh... I feel better now. Happy March tomorrow!

You never cease to make me laugh, Jo. Hope you're little cloud quits following you around. Perhaps a rainbow will emerge and a leprecaun might lead you to the pot o gold. Love you.
