Man, things have been pretty poopy around here lately! I know, it’s totally me. Between brother drama, boyfriend drama (not mine) and just a general feeling of melancholy, things have been super negative.
In anticipation of Michael leaving for 10 days on Friday (in which I will feel lonely and sad), I decided I need to write some positive things on here. Sometimes you just need a reminder.
- The Grays. I think people who decide not to have children usually have a weird, parent/child-like love for their pets. I would be LOST without those cats. Everyday they make me laugh. Many days they make me scream. Either way, I love them more than most humans.
- My sister. She sent me the BEST card the other day. Our daily IMs are the funniest thing you’ll ever read. I HATE when she isn’t around to chat. I know I can count on her-even if it’s only to say “Jeni, you are always right”
- Heidi. Heidi and I are magically delicious. I think Michael probably hates being around us, because most of the time we talk in secret code and laugh at ourselves endlessly.
- Michael. That man just knows how to deal with me-and I think he kind of likes it. We have our moments, of course. Ed thinks we bicker too much. I think our bickering is cute.
- Air conditioning. It’s fucking hot here in Seattle. In fact, it’s even been humid. I have air conditioning. Michael and I installed 2 units when we did the big condo remodel. Yesterday, when I got home from work, it was FREEZING in our condo! What? Too much? Crossed the line into mean? Sorry. Kind of.
- My car. My beautiful little Neon is getting old. Just a couple weeks ago, it finally hit 100,000 miles. I wish I had a picture, but Michael forgot and he was driving (I may or may not have been drunk). 9 years and counting! As much as I’d love a new Prius, I would NOT love a new Prius car payment. Plus, It would be rough to lose all my bumper stickers. In fact, when Ed and I were going to No Doubt, we were stuck on long lines of traffic and got much attention from cute boys for our stickers. One of them even made a sign that said “I <3 your bumper stickers”. I immediately tried to arrange a marriage.
And that’s all I got. Yes, I do have MANY other things to be thankful for, but I might actually have to do work or something.
That’s a pretty inspirational list! Of course, my car is about to hit 100,000 miles and it’s only 4 years old … hmm.
Yeah, well even though I’ve driven it across the country three times AND it had 5,000 miles on it when I got it, in the last 3 or 4 years, I’ve driven it less than 2,000/year so that has helped.
Note: never brag about your car on your blog. My car died yesterday. Can’t wait to see the damages. . . . .
This is a great list. And I feel that way about my cat, too
