Make me smile…

It’s been far too long since I posted one of these lists of happinesses, so here goes!!

–Making travel plans to finish up a section of my archival research. Love love love making reservations and dreaming about adventures-to-come.

–Speaking of travel, I’m experimenting with “crowd sourcing” ideas for romantic travel by posing questions via twitter. I’m thinking that John & I need to make some long-term plans for some big anniversaries that’re in the not-so-distant-future.

–B-kitty does the deepest cat sighs when she’s craving attention. It’s absolutely charming and works nearly every time.

–In an effort to downscale some of my commitments, I’m letting go of my responsibilities as the moderator of FreecycleIrvine. I’ve done this job day in and out for nearly 5 years and while I absolutely _love_ Freecycle, I don’t have the energy for it anymore. I’m feeling glad to hand this job on to someone else now. It’s time.

–My thumb that got crunched at paddling practice on Monday is nearly back to normal (hardly purple at all–yay for arnica oil!)

–Today I had one of those days where every time I went to get something accomplished, an obstacle or distraction popped up in my way. I got a lot done still, but I have to say that I’m glad today is over and I’m looking forward to a new day tomorrow. One that’s as bright as the daisy in the pic above (and doesn’t the center of this flower just almost look like cupcake frosting? Lovely!)

–Tomorrow’s Friday! Woot!

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
