Things I learned this weekend.

Chipmunks are not birds. Nor do they migrate to Florida in the winter, either by flying themselves or by hanging on to the backs of eagles.

Wild Turkeys are quite tall.

Sometimes, being pelted by wind, snow and ice isn't a bad thing.

There are many shades of grey.

Buddhist nuns can also be rap artists.

Chocolate cake doesn't always taste like chocolate cake.

English language

Why do the words "smite" and "smitten" have opposite meanings?

Just wondering.

Agate

damn you cows and your damn cow juice.

Tom Selleck?

I had a bad dream last night that I'd like to share with you.

In my dream, one of the members of the Aquanaut Yoga Force Team was friends with Tom Selleck. So, he invited the Aquanaut Yoga Force Team to Tom's guest house. I have no idea where this house was. Tom's guest house was lovely, just lovely. My room was all white, beautifully furnished. Oh, and Tom kept photos of himself all over the house.

The dream goes downhill from there. As I'm checking out my room, I realize the the ENTIRE Aquanaut Yoga Force Team had left for a hike in the wilderness...without me. They were gone. :( So, I decided to practice some poses in my room. Unfortunately, when Tom decorated the room, he put in this really long shag carpet. So, every time I jumped back into plank, my legs got tangled up in the carpet. I was sad.

Sad kitchen appliance news.

My dear cousin, the Chocolate Prognosticator or whatever the heck her handle is, I kinda forgot, just bought an ice cream maker. I really wish she had done some shopping around. Because I found the PERFECT ice cream maker. It's a dream come true, really.

Hello.

If there is one thing you need to know about me is that I LOVE Hello Kitty. Seriously. And, I need this. This would sooo annoy people at work. But, it is sooo cool.

OK. So here's the deal...

I had a great day today. Yeah, you heard me right. You haven't heard (read) words like that from me in a long time. Here are the reasons why I had a great day:

Work was steady

I stood up for myself and held my ground

I wasn't attacked by badgers

My favorite sandwich guy was at my favorite sandwich place

I saw some really nice people today

I got totally blissed out at yoga

I am totally loving everyone today, including that mean girl from seventh grade

Everyone around me seems to be in great moods

I spoke to my long-lost cousin, my not-so-long-lost cousin and my sister today

I'm planning an urban photo shoot with two of my dear photo friends

And lastly, just to restate an important point, I wasn't attacked by badgers


OK. So, here's one little teeny eenie problem. I usually run into bad Karma when good things go too good. So, I have this teeny tiny fear that everything is going to come crashing down. I hope it doesn't.

Love,

Agate
