Because I'm about ready to crawl under a rock and die from sheer exhaustion, I thought I should put something up here about what I do love and am grateful for.
My job (despite it being the main source of my problem....)
Being done work at 115
Summer in Edmonton for all of the following reasons:
1. Warm weather
2. River City Shakespeare Festival
3. Street Performers Festival
4. CapitalEx (though I still call it K-Days)
5. Fringe Festival
6. Heritage Days
7. Folk Fest
8. Patio lunches
9. Concerts
10. Farmers Markets
11. Whyte Ave
Temperatures pushing 30
Having seen every “big“ movie so far this summer
Planning a trip to KC for some football with Ed
NFL Preseason coming soon
Green Bay Packers
Brett Favre (despite his waffling on the whole retirement thing)
The Oilers (even though they couldn't land a marquis player if they tried)
“Lay it Down Slow“ by Spiritualized
Russell Howard (Find “Mock The Week Newspapers“ on YouTube)
Good friends who listen when I need to talk
Former students who are genuinely nice people, and are sincere
Pearls Before Swine
Book Sales
Rediscovering the music of my junior high years (Soul Asylum, anyone?)
Friends who make me belly-laugh on a regular basis
Tucker Max (despite his mostly mysoginistic outlook on life, he's a brilliant writer)
And you? (If anyone still actually reads this......)
