Please, please forgive me.

Dear, dear reader,

I humbly apologize for all of the complaints I have subjected you to for the past few weeks, either via this blog, on the telephone, by IM or in person. I am in a complaining mood lately. But, it is friday, and today, I will not complain to you. Or at least not complain too much. Here are some good things.

1) Yes, we have three inches of snow out there, but at least it is white and fluffy.

2) I'm having vegan pizza tomorrow night. Yay no cheese!

3) Work doesn't suck today.

4) My office isn't infested with badgers.

5) I don't have to hem the new yoga pants I recently purchased.

6) My socks match...today.

7) The smoothie place is selling HUGE cookies today.

8) I'm reading a book on how to heal the world. I'll let you know what I come up with.

9) I'm seeing Elvis Costello in July.

10) The world is filled with beautiful art and music.

Well, that's 10 things. I know there are other good things to talk about, like that even though we have 3 inches of snow on the ground, it smells like spring. If I can think of anything else, I'll update this list. In the meantime, have a great weekend.

Agate

I scream.

Isn't ice cream the perfect drug to combat the nautical disasters in life? I had some soy ice cream the other night that was wonderful. Fluffy and ice creamy. I may go pick some up from the store and make that my drug of choice in these trying times of bad gallbladders (not mine), work horrors (yes, mine), not enough time in the days, manditory overtime combined with lack of time to eat (it's a wonder my fingernails haven't fallen off yet, the way I'm eating).

nautical disaster

Life is such a disaster right now that I had to take desperate measures: I'm sitting on the floor, listening to a Bollywood remix and eating ice cream.

Friday

Well, this excrutiating week is finally over. There is still time for disaster, as it is only Friday morning, however.

I could turn this post into a litany of complaints, because believe me, I have a bunch of them. But, instead, I think I'll just give a list of things I like right now:


Chihuahua puppies (I really need one)

Hazelnut Chocolate spread

Persepolis (great book! I haven't started the sequel yet.)

My new hat

The Lentil Soup at the restaurant around the corner from work. It's magical.

Banana/Papaya smoothies. I bought my first by accident. I had intended to buy my usual, a Banana/Pomegranate smoothie, but misspoke and said Papaya instead of Pomegranate. Much better.

Anyway, I'd like to say there were more things that I'm positive about right now, but I'm not getting too much outside stimulation from my cocoon these days.

Agate

I just realized something....

It seems as if, these days, the more I learn, the less I know.

Pretty frustrating.
