First, I've already woken up to something other than my alarm clock. And I've done something other than swim laps at 5am, only to be followed by showering and heading to work, then tutoring, then doing homework or working out. It's the yoozh schedge (too much shortening, to the point that it's obnoxious...but I'm celebrating my half birthday so I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to...) but not for Saturdays:) This morning I got up to the sound of the green bin tops opening in the Stop and Shop Pea Pod truck. Every single freaking Saturday morning it parks directly across from my extraordinary apt building (have I mentioned that my honeymoon is over, but at the same time it totally is not....I will never be unhappy with my location and apartment here) to deliver groceries to an older chap. I'll confess, I have stalked the worker every time I happen to be up and around. Remember the clips on how things are made from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street? I was never ever into puppets and the stupid cartoons but I LIVED for the "how things are made" clips. So anyway, I think they should make a "how Pea Pod works" clip. I'd totally watch it. Might even post it on my blog or something. Well, anyway, I associate the bin tops opening (it's this obnoxious sound of plastic hitting plastic non-stop) with Saturday mornings therefore I love the obnoxious sound.
Second, I read the bible and drank coffee without being rushed, always a plus. And I spent some time on iTunes. I LOVE new music. It's crack to me, and fortunately I don't have enough time to iTunes shop most of the time. And what's up with the increase from .99 to 1.29? They're already ruining my life (and yours) with the increase of gas prices. Can't a girl get a break? Leave my (and your) iTunes prices alone.
Third, here I am, blogging (I really think I'm entering a phase of blogging consistently!) I would like to make a general shout out to all my blogger friends who have hollered at me to stop slacking. You are all dolls. I am also, at the same time, listening to some new music that I downloaded. OMIGOSH if you're one who appreciates christian music and doesn't scoff at it, "Hold Me" by Jamie Grace. This gal is my new jam. And "Hold Me" is my new favorite. Also at the same time I am sipping a smoothie with yogurt, banana, frozen fruit, protein power, and FLAX SEEDS up the wahzoo. They're all in my teeth. Mmm.
Fourthly, I have a to-do list full of gross things. Work for work, a run and a swim, doing other little things. We'll see how much gets done. I think a great way to celebrate would be to get all things done and cross all of them off. A girl can dream.
Fiftheroo, movie and dinner with a great gal, who I lovingly call Amybeff. I love this kid! AND, we will be eating salmon, as you all know, my new favorite. No wait, I have known that I like it for a good while now, but it was expensive, and smelled like fish, and was attached to scaly skin and that is WRONG, so I had no motivation to make or buy it. Well this whole nutrition thing has made my nights eating salmon like gold. Salmon AND a cool kid? Double whammy.
Happy half birthday to me. Maybe I'll indulge and go buy a Cinderella helium balloon from the grocery store. Do you think Pea Pod would deliver it? Dang I should have asked this morning when I had the chance.
