Good things, vol. I’m too lazy to see how many of these I’ve already done
– The way Shorty opens his eyes, immediately closes them, and makes old-man snoring noises when we’re trying to get him off the bed to go outside, the FAKER
- The knowledge that someday in the near future it will actually feel warm outside; warm enough that wearing short sleeves will be a necessity and not an act of Winter Contempt, God am I Sick of You (tomorrow’s forecast: snow showers!)
- How it feels when my fingers can keep up with my brain and speedily type a paragraph with no mistakes
- Finishing our wedding scrapbook
- That even though I’ll miss all sorts of things about work, Monday morning lunch meetings, noisy work spaces, and researching adult diapers aren’t among them
- Potbellied, squinty-eyed squirrels in our yard
- Abby and Sunny taking turns drinking out of the bathroom faucet in the mornings
- One week until Opening Day
- The electronic Tetris game I scored for 99 cents at the thrift store this weekend
- Bookstore gift cards
- Being called “slight” this weekend
- The two days I have off before starting my new job
- Jim Gaffigan’s new Comedy Central special (he talks about ketchup!)
- Peking chicken

Mmmm looking forward to spring soon – it is much warmer in the southern regions of the midwest but still I want some consistency!
I too love bookstore gift cards! It is like the supreme gift!!!

So, how long has it been since you guys got married? I want to gauge if I’ve procrastinated our wedding album long enough with a year and a half.

Good things, indeed. I don’t know nothing’ ’bout no Jim Gaffigan, but being called “slight” rocks.

Ooo, that wedding scrapbook thing reminds me that we still have to order our album. Urgh.

Love the new Jim Gaffigan special, especially the bacon portion
I enjoy thinking about Sunny and Abby taking turns at the kitchen faucet!

I am very happy about all of your reasons, but I think I’m most especially jealous of the tetris game. LOVE.
