Today I'm happy...

…for sunscreen

Sunscreen allows very pale girls like me (red hair, freckles) to enjoy 7 hours on a boat and not get (too badly) burnt.

…for Holiday Mondays

Yes, any long weekend is great, but there’s something special about having a Monday off. It’s that moment on Sunday when you sigh and think, “I have to go back to work tomorrow…wait, NO I DON’T! WOOHOO!”

…for “drive in” movies

The local drive in movie theater is not open yet for the season (actually a little worried it’s closed down for good), so friends decided to break out the projector and have their own drive in movie on the back deck. We watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which I had never seen, and let me tell you – watching it outside was AWESOME! Good times…

…for a covered walkway

When I left work today, it was pouring rain. Luckily, not only do I park in a parking garage, there is also a covered walkway from the building to the garage. I stayed drier than I would have with an umbrella!

…my tastebuds have changed

When I was younger, I was a super picky eater. Pretty much every meal had corn, because that’s the only vegetable I would eat.

Tonight I was chopping tomatoes for tacos, and decided I had too much. So I set a couple of slices aside, crumbled some goat cheese, and poured on some balsamic vinegar. HEAVEN. And I suddenly felt very sorry for my mother, and all those years she had to cater to my juvenile tastebuds.

…I didn’t buy a ton of food

My cooking club was supposed to meet tonight, but a couple people couldn’t make it, and “three people does not make a club.” So we rescheduled. And I’m glad I didn’t buy a bunch of ingredients (like veggies) that would have just gone to waste.

…for a nice compliment

A former coworker of mine sent me the following message on Facebook: “You are so naturally beautiful. AND, you have a cool life.”

How sweet is that?
