It is Monday and I am TIRED. Tired like it is my job, except I sort of suspect I am tired because of my job. Today was one of those days that I would have enjoyed “modeling” napping much more than tumbling. Sadly, it was not to be. Despite this deficiency in my life, I still have…FIVE GOOD THINGS!
1.) I made cupcakes tonight. The recipe told me to expect twelve cupcakes; this usually means I will get nine. However! Tonight I got FIFTEEN. (Math: 9 < 12 < 15)
2.) Something that I am working on is becoming like those people who strategize sales and coupons to stock their pantries at a profit. While I am not quite like them yet – mostly because I have a job, something of a life, and remnants of my sanity – I have really been rocking out in this department. I went to Walgreens on Sunday and saved over three times what I spent. I am awesome *and* I have some delicious treats and a new bottle of soap in my bathroom.
3.) Have you been watching Olympic hockey? I have and I have been quite pleased. Fantastic.
4.) I found the PERFECT gift for a friend who has a birthday coming up. I really enjoy giving people things I think/know they will enjoy and appreciate. It is quite possible I get more pleasure out of it than the recipient.
5.) I got six pieces of mail today and not a single one was a bill! One was a credit card offer, but still – no bills!

I have been neglectful in my blog reading duties but will keep on track.
You have a well developed writing style which is complimented by an offbeat
sense of humor. I wonder where that comes from. Keep it up.
