more glad game redux

I've been rather cantankerous lately. My sister from another mister, J, has reminded me again to count my blessings. I'm long overdue. So here's my list:

♥ My mom reminding me that I should be nicer to people because even if I find them to be totally grating on my very last nerve. She enlightened me to the fact that they could be experiencing different stresses that I can't relate to. I'm going to make a Mozart concerto effort.
♥ A teeth cleaning appointment on Friday {sounds weird, but I love going to the dentist}
♥ Picking up R from PR tomorrow night, then spending the long weekend together. ♥ R calling from the territories to say that Chelsea ClinTON was wearing a Marimekko dress made out of the same fabric as his tie.

♥ Weekend road trip to Tucson to see our best friend Zeke & the LAL dudes.

♥ Dinner the night before with other buds, a record convention the next morning, and lunch at Feast. I'm so excited to eat there! I've heard so many amazing things about it!

♥ My parents and grandparents for instilling me with good manners.

♥ Popping my Pilate's cherry. I've found out that I have no such core. And my instructor is this ultra crunchy cutie lady that comes over and pushes on your feet.

♥ Spying one of my college mentors at the gym. I padded quietly behind her, about to say hello, but she was enjoying such a sweet moment with her husband, I didn't want to interrupt. They had their pointer fingers hooked and were gazing into each others eyes, with ear-to-ear toothy smiles. It was just nice to see that she was still around ASU. I'll say hi next time and hope that R and I can be like that someday.

♥ My bike has not been stolen or scrapped after I carelessly abandoned it on campus for a few months. I pumped up the tires and gave it a good pedal tonight. There's nothing I love more than aimlessly riding around at night.

♥ My ever so lovely and super boss boss lady.

♥ Receiving my first recruiter call today! I'm wanted! I can haz skillz? I realize these head hunters work on commission and cold call industry peeps all day, but it still makes my ego feel good. hah!

♥ My endlessly patient and loving friends who still talk to me, even when I can be an evil cunt who drops off the face of the planet every now and again.

♥ Lunch with my old boss tomorrow at artyfarty sandwich shop, Orange Table. When a restaurant has a myspace page...

♥ Project Runway waiting for me to log off on the TIVO.

♥ Chihuahuas on cheeseburgers

♥ Consuming halved mini watermelons straight from the "bowl."

♥ Summertime Monsoons

♥ the Red Soxs blowing out those damn Yanks 11-3.

♥ Finding my mind, esteem, voice, self, after losing it for a while.
