I have meant to bring the book into work for two days now, but every morning has me so half-awake that it’s still sitting on my coffee table. You know, where I NEVER EVER WRITE.
So I’m going to try and do this one by memory.
It’s been a murderous day week month(s) here at work, so I often become very disheartened. You can also replace disheartened with “exhausted”, “cranky”, “evil”, and “bitchy”. It’s not uncommon for me to see a fresh, empty text box when I open up the “Write Post” window and want to just pour all of that into here. But I know that can be a bit tiresome to read. And, you know, I’m really NOT a negative person. I don’t want you guys to wonder why I just don’t give up and go lateral with some Gillettes down my oh-so-dainty wrists.
(They used to be dainty. Now, they are doughy.)
So instead of bitching (.. anymore), I’m going to give a list of THINGS THAT MAKE SARAH HAPPY. (by Sarah Brown.)
- Autumn weather. Which, technically, has NOT arrived yet; we’re still a good 10 degrees higher than we should be. This just means there are more good things to come.
- Tony kicking. I keep expecting it to be less than miraculous, but every time I feel a foot to my belly, I get all sorts of mushy inside.
- Book Club. I always feel so good when I leave. It’s just amazing to be in that group of women, so diverse and amazing, and then go out among the world.Â
- Mabel, when I walk in the door. She’s deaf as a doornail, but through the years, she has perfected howling “HELLOOOOO”. I swear, it’s true, and it makes me laugh every time.
- Krispie Kreme. Which I totally indulged in last night.
- Our freshly cut lawn.
- My mother-in-law’s obsession with bringing me things with butterflies on them. It makes me giggle.
- Jeff Dunham, who has a new special coming on this Sunday night.
- My husband’s excitement about the baby. Did I mention that we had all baby items washed, assembled, and placed within 24 hours of the baby shower?
- Tony kicking. I know I’ve already said that, but as we speak, he’s going to town. I lurve it.
Sounds like you had a couple of wonderful baby showers. Isn’t it great to have such good people in your life? I love your list. It even brightened up my day. Thanks for always giving me a chuckle. I also agree-Krispie Kremes rock-we have one around the corner and it’s hard to always drive by it.
I love the crisp, sunny fall days too. I can’t wait for that. I used to love feeling my babies kick and move too. Congratulations on deciding to look at the positive. It can really be challenging when you are growing a whole other person in there and your hormones are doing the watusi. Soon your sweet little Tony will be here and you will have a whole new list of wonderful things that make you smile!
