Look at me, seriously on a roll with these posts. What can I say, when I can't sleep, I like to write (but not that again). I seriously had the best day ever today. When I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't fall back asleep for the life of me, so I was sure that I was destined for a dousy of bad day. I tossed and turned for an hour and finally gave up and took my blanket and my Peretti book to the porch and read. and for once I kept reading, and was still reading when both of my roommates left for work.
I then video aimed (damn, I'm tech savvy) with Mac Daddy, and wished him and early bday. I decided to get ready for work a lil earlier than normal, and ended up gridlocked in fair traffic on fair dr (heh, fair traffic on fair drive...) trying to get to starbucks. after some frustrated side street driving to get away from the parking lot fair had become, I finally made it to Starbucks, taking up my post in the comfy chair with my macch in one hand, and Kurt V in the other.
Speaking of Starbucks (bc when do i EVER deny tangents their time in the spot light?), when did we become such painfully specific consumers? I mean I can't judge any one else, because I am bad as everybody else, but dang. I mean, when did we as humans become so friggin programmed? I love when I order my drink at Starbucks for the first time in front of a new friend. When did the just plain coffee I used to love, fall victim to the triple venti, non fat, upside down, no foam, add whip carmel macchiattos of the world?
oh goodness,
this is why I don't write at three in the morning.
aaaanywho. So yea, I read.... and of course laughed, when doesn't Kurt make me laugh? Then headed to the only job in the world I have ever loved. I mean it. I absolutley love working with the people in the Senator's office that I work at. There's really only five of us ever there at the same time at the most. The Senator, lately becuase he's out of session and therefor out of Sac town, Cynthia, our office manager, and my favorite three. Emanuel and Kevin are both field reps with crass senses of humor, and appreciation for a good time. and then of course Lisa, probably the coolest person I have met in a loooooooong time. I swear I look forward to my weekly rounds in the office, less for the experience, more for the girl talk, and big brother like teasing. I mean, Lisa and I talk about the fact that she is a older, asain version of me. I mean in soooo many ways, especially in our boy troubles and boy choices. And the even bigger bonus of working there is that I am learning, growing, and becoming a lot more confortable with my responibilities, all areas in which I never want to stop improving. It is such a blessing, knowing that while my internship offers no monetary gain, I am learning first hand in an environment with which I am not olny confortable with, but absolutely love to be a part of.
God is good, even when we least deserve it. aint that the truth?
But back on track.The point is, I had a super awesome fun day in the office, what little time I actually spent there, shopped after work with Lis and got THE cutest dress I think I have ever owned, and laughed aaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll day.
all of this preceeded the best part of all, when my love Celena came to visit, and we went to my FAVORITE restaurant, when all of my favorite staff were there, and were treated like royalty.
Then came home and hung out with all my roomies and celena, and played the most amazingly fun board-ish game I have played in a long time.
I love days like today was. Just plain old good days. and you know, with some of the days I have been having lately, it was a much needed nicety.
let tomorrow be just as good.
remember:
after the eye, comes the rest of the storm
stay strong
