All things considered...

I am so ready for a long weekend, I can't stand it! I'm not sure why...it's not like I have big plans (Shauna's bum knee is messing up our skiing!) but I am still so excited. I think it's likely because it's just been a long week. I'm ready to take a nap or something!

It's been like near 60 for the past few days. I went running last nite after work-in the daylight! Of course, I only had 15 minutes of it, but still! Wore my new shoes and everything! It was nice.

I started out pretty stoked this morning about it being Friday and all...feeling a little blah right this second (of course, it could be the General Tso's chicken I had in Chinatown for lunch) so I think it's a good time for another "grateful" list. Here goes:

1. Orange pants. I love mine. I'm wearing them right now. I love the fact that God made us creative and personality-filled and that there are pants that can express it!

2. Pets. I had a good night with all 3 of mine last nite (2 kitties and Austin, who lives upstairs). What a neat expression of God's love--unconditional and undeserved.

3. Flowers. I cannot wait for spring. I saw some green bulb buds last nite and I'm pumped.

4. Guilt. Don't get me wrong, I know guilt is Satan's tool to use against us...but it's the conscience that preceeds it. I'm so thankful I feel guilt. I know people who don't and they are scary.

5. Spell check. Technology in general, actually. It has some bad qualities....but how easy has it made our lives!
