September 2, 2010

Woke up at 6:30 to Ty's alarm and didn't get back to sleep; had a hashbrown scramble with a fried egg for breakfast and the calories kick-started my system into waking up. Sometimes all you need's a little grease in the morning, don't you think? It's hard to stay cheerful and upbeat when morning looks like night so I wore the brightest skirt possible with suede boots to combat the rainy day blues.

Love the pattern; have the yellow-y light in my office; I can't wait to trade the office flourescents for the flourescents in the classroom and the recording studio at the university.

I listened to an old TED Talk by Mattieu Ricard on the "habits of happiness" today and it got me thinking about what makes me happy; seeing my friends smile, the smell of rain, the smell of fall, school supplies, the way Tyrone look at me, stupid inside jokes, the new Arcade Fire album, my ring tone on my phone, Kate Beaton comics about Nancy Drew, my Mixhard crew, knee-high socks, bubble umbrellas... I honestly could go on!

Coffee date with Ian shortly, delicious salad for lunch plus a run to the university for some last-minute stuff regarding my job there, Grandma's birthday tonight which means a card and flowers for the lady I love the most in this world and an evening with the man I love the most.

This dreary Thursday is going to be great, weather be damned.
