Just Outside of Grace

two days worth of joys:

live music
lovely women
new cds
the news of shows to come

funny sunburns
hundreds of students milling around on a field mid-day, gathering fliers
unexpected office visitor
delicious subs, some pops and cookie cake
random funding opportunity

I got a letter this mornin'. What do you reckon it read?

Armor of God pjs citation in Susan's sermon
Agnes & Muriel's lunch
grilled burgers
rice krispy bars

figuring out that the heinous smell was a rotting tomato

phone

john's return
scampers shenanigans + more poison
"there are no cats in America"

shoes of peace

Orienting

returning students
new students
catered lunch
return of Craiggers

Wednesday

A Gilmore morning
Lunch with Rachel and the cool staffers
Ordering frisbees and tshirts

Yesterday was Dana's birthday

quietude of a blown transformer
real job
slowly ticking things off the checklist that I have to make since there is no boss
emails
rain
baseball seats under the roof
friends
hotdogs? beer and cotton candy.
Jeff Francoeur statues
exhaustion

Heavy

I am bad at keeping up with any daily routine.

This is harder now.

But here are some things about today

hand-hewn church
baby ushers
email that does justice to us
return of friends

"I said I wasn't smart. Amen?"
free pizza
superstar appreciation luncheon
reunion surprise logistical changes
finishing season 4 of Gilmores
reconciliation -- good talks
shaking the flowery tree

My Day

In the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt, Oprah, and my roommate Dana,
I hope to chart the things that make me happy
on a regular basis.
Rock on.
