things that made me happy today _one

.a hug from a confused, but sweet lady at church_ after packin up her lunch. [long, but cute story]

.recognizing the constellations in the clear night sky _ even if it was 10 degrees out and I was holding 2 _30 pound bags of laundry in each hand.

.finding out there were HEATED seats in my new car.

.my mom telling me, “I’m proud of you.” And then later saying, “you look old.. [ok, that not so much _but the follow up of ] You look like a woman. I’ve never seen that before.”

.the party platter piece of turkey sloppy joe I ate as part of my lunch.

.my fat cat snoring right beside me as I type away in bed.

sweet dreams jayden.

you can never have enough hot water

i've been known to take long showers. wait.. . that's in past tense.

i AM known as a long showerER.

years ago, when i lived at home, my dad would knock on the bathroom door, "the town just called about the hot water?!!? you used it all up." My long showers are not the source of my most recent dilemma though.

Thoughts roll around my mind like that an 18 wheeler. never ending. i replay conversations, in attempts to figure out what the other person meant by that subtle pause, when in reality, they just too many burritos for lunch. . .. .

In addition to conversations _ i have mental grocery lists, appointments that need to be scheduled, due dates, draft response letters to parents [if i send out the first 'knee-jerk' copy of these, i likely will be fired]

And if I never write these things down, what ends up happening, of course, i forget... having to return to the grocery store for that 12 pack of toilet paper. yes _ i know, a single girl, what do I do with 12 rolls...?

in the shower, i was drafting aloud a scoring rubric for an assignment, that needs to be corrected this weekend. "5 points if the assignment is neat and organized _ 10 points if the student used details from the book to support his/her predictions." By saying it out loud, i figured i would remember it.. .not so much. Half hour later, i was left with the dregs of this awesome "shower" rubric I had created.

Well, i figured it out by the time i had gotten dressed, not the rubric, that is_ how to fix this dilemma.

i solved a simple problem, the first problem of 2010. figured i can get the easy ones first. i know more are coming, real ones. but i was happy about the solution to this.

and i am going to have fun.. only problem is.. my showers may end up taking longer...

bathtub crayons. oh boy!
