good news, friday? @ 9:33 AM
i've never been a big fan of TGIF. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'm a fan
of rejoicing for the last day of the week--but i'm also a huge fan of
waking up every day of the week. think about it, if you don't wake up
on wednesday then you sho' ain't gonna make it to friday. no TGIF for you.
guess that's a bit morbid, but it helps. gratitude goes a long way toward
making your morning of "oh, no it's time to get up already?!" into a great
day. no joke. try it. then everyday is a TGI(insert day).
now that i've gone off on a tangent, my purpose for stating my opposition to
TGIF can be made known. i'm being a hypocrite. or i guess i'm changing things
instead of looking like a hypocrite i'm taking my loathing of loving one day and
turning that into a chance for me to show my appreciativeness (it's a word in my
dictionary, go ahead, judge me). don't expect this to become a regular thing.
not that i don't love being appreciative, but this list thing probably won't happen
as often as i'd like, so don't get your hopes up, then i won't disappoint, deal?
so, good news friday will consist of a list, it's below.
the list:
1-i got my wonderful lappy back, last night. which means that today i was able
to wake up and turn on my music (ie. bother my neighbors),
check the weather and my emails (because i don't get them on my
phone? i'm an overachieving account checker, so what?). not having my laptop
for over a week really did things to me. i'll spare the details. i'm happy to have
my laptop back. i'm even more thrilled to have it back with no expenses.
thank you, apple, for covering my new screen. you rock!
2-last night i slept. to the world of blogging this seems like nbd. but it is a very
BIG DEAL. for about two weeks (who's counting?) i haven't slept. like at all.
i go to bed. i close my eyes. then i open my eyes every hour. it's been torture.
although i slept last night i'm still not sure how. i don't care though. i got some
much needed sleep. that's reason enough to rejoice all day. no more mrs. grumpy
gills for gar, lucky him! (sidenote: i slept, but my poor husband had all of the covers
taken from him. he said he didn't care. so he either loves that i slept and would
endure sheetless nights every night to have his wife wake up happy or he's a
tremendous liar. either way, i love him. he's great. sorry about the covers, babe!)
3-my best friend lives in georgia. sounds awful, huh? it's pretty rotten, but since
she's in georgia she's had some spare time and she's going to beautify our blog.
that's WONDERFUL news because i'm completely lost with this whole blog thing.
i miss her. having my blog made by her will be my way to always have her with me.
sorry to be creepy. she's just a great friend. thanks, kate!
that seems like a pretty lame list. it is, i guess. but not to me. a few other
things i could add on there but opted not to would include:
our bills are paid, i'm not sick, gar loves his internship,
i'm passing all of my classes (with a's!), dinner was made (almost every
night) by me this week! all the groceries are bought--most of them \
are healthy, we're eating better (most of the time)
and i love my husband oh, so much!
it's been really intense recently with our schedules changing--gar goes
to SLC everyday and i stay in the provo bubble--with the exception
of work, i venture out to PG (which is pleasant grove for those of you
not in ut)--then i'm home again for all of the wiferey duty.
i like being a wife. i especially love being a wife to garrison. it's great.
happy friday, everyone! from the bottom of my sleep revived heart!
