The Livin' is Easy

I've been very happy lately. (Wait, I tell my students to find better words than "very." Like, increasingly, exceedingly, remarkably.)

I've been ______ happy lately.

Things are good at home--better than good, really. Just really peaceful and warm and nice.

You know?

And, my fortune told me today that I "look pretty." Thank you, fortune cookie! Though I do think that the delicious dessert was making up for last time when it told me that I "constantly struggle for self-improvement." Truer fortunes have probably not been written, but still. Yee-ouch.

B's father is in the process of replicating a Rocky Mountain waterfall in their backyard, so we've been over digging and hauling dirt. Last week, we were invited to a swank Psychology department reception honoring him and another ultra-amazing person. I felt a bit out of place, and stuck close to the diet Coke/party meatball table, but I like meeting faculty in other fields.

I owe some Blockheads a leaf-free lawn. Since I already ate the peppered beef jerky, I better make good. Maybe we should forget the lawn and all have pizza together, yeah?

We had an awesome jam last night. Talk about the Trainables being on their game. Ya heard?

Things I Like:

To dance.

Walking down Willow Street.

Money in the bank.

When L. and L. come over for spring rolls.

When my fortune cookie tells me I am pretty.
