the good:
reaping fresh strawberries from the garden.
...
40% off at the j.crew outlet in park city.
...
a serious 3 month catch up dinner with tiffany... crashed by the davis'! i love it when my worlds collide.
...
the start of a new construction project. let summer construction begin!
...
uncle larry to the rescue... with a new dishwasher in tow. installed in the blink of an eye.
...
keeping with tradition by watching the eaglewood fireworks with the van wagenen family, winning over the hearts of the children by feeding them candy while their parents weren't looking.
...
holly discovered flat marshmallows, perfect for smores {in the oven} while we watched the fireworks.
...
a good vent session at lunch after a hard week's work... having a co-worker you can confide in: priceless.
...
a ribbon cutting {with the congressman!} for the project that's grounded my career for the last five years. i think that's what "accomplishment" feels like.
...
a saturday with my bestie, lemon rice at the greek market, and laughing until we cry.
...
i learned how to change the cabin air filter in my car. and then was complimented by a white + curly haired mullet, tank top wearing 60 year old in autozone. but don't worry, guys. he's married. "he just calls it as he sees it." he was helpless against telling me i was beautiful. and now my air conditioning cranks like a hurricane.
the bad:
sitting in the chair for 3.5 hours at the hair place. i.have.so.much.hair.
...
and it cost me $20 more than bestie jen's.
...
the netflix that's been sitting on my entertainment center for 3 weeks.
...
i let jen up into my bedroom....... and she saw how dire the put-away-the-laundry problem really was.
...
the time scott bennion came through town and told me he was only 2 hours away, when really he was 5 hours away because he took a small detour through yellowstone national park to take pictures at sun down so i stayed up late to wait for him and then he told me he was too tired to drive any further so i got mad at him and told him he was being mysterious and selfish with his plans and so he hung up on me but then appeared at my door at 1130 at night and i had to stop what i was doing to prepare the guest quarters and that was it. when i woke up at 645 the next morning he was lacing up his shoes and on his way out the door. he's called twice since then, but i'm being mysterious and selfish with my plans, so he'll have to wait.
the ugly:
i'm 3789462 shades more gringo than i was this time last year. something's got to change.
