Dorothy Parker has this great saying about how sometimes things aren't just terrible, they're fancy terrible. They're terrible with raisins in it.
Well, this week has been full of raisins. Not big, bad terrible raisins, just annoying raisins. But rather than sit here and detail all the wrinkles and grossness of the stupid things that have stuck in my craw this week, I'm going to try something new and different. I'm going to list all of the things for which I'm grateful.
1. No one in the family has a trach
2. We can afford groceries and - importantly - booze
3. I discovered Draw Something
4. I have friends who will play Draw Something with me
5. My kids are hilarious
6. The wildflowers are beautifully in bloom EVERYWHERE
7. It is not 9 bajillion degrees outside
8. It is not -9 bajillion degrees outside
9. People pay me to write words
10. People pay my husband enough so that when people don't pay me enough to write words we can still achieve #2 up there
11. My computer is not broken
12. The dog has stopped pissing on all the toys
13. Ike's consumption of disgusting prescription formula has gone down to the point that we have a backlog of the stuff in the supply closet
14. My friends make me laugh even when they have their own raisins to pick out of their teeth
15. I have seen the Hunger Games movie
16. My shorts from last spring still mostly, sort of fit
17. There is a can of M&Ms by the coffeepot
18. No one is bleeding at the moment
19. I just read a great book
20. I was able to make time to read that great book
21. A 7th grader told me she likes my pants
22. The girlchild has finally figured out how to put on her hightops in less than 10 minutes
23. Tomorrow is Friday
24. My dad showed no signs of cancer the other day
25. The Texas Library Association conference is next week and I AM GOING, DAMMIT
26. My shinglesface feels better everyday
27. No one pooped on the floor or in their pants or in the car today
28. The upstairs doesn't smell like barf anymore
29. I have rediscovered the joy of strawberries
30. I am not pregnant
Like that . . .
