that's amore

I love eating lunch with one of my best friends.

I love going to the bank and discovering I've got more money than I thought.

I love putting fresh flowers on my grandpa's grave. then sitting and reflecting upon my Kit Kat bar in the cemetery.

I love driving to Ventura Highway playing on the radio.

I love phone conversations with boys I used to have a crush on, where you both laugh the whole time, where you think to yourself I'm so glad I got over having a crush on him because we make really awesome friends.

I love drinking margaritas with the girls, eating free chips and discussing life and death.

I love trips to the craft store.

I love it when an old friend calls just to let you know she found a funny card you made for her years and years ago. And then reads said card while I'm trying to cover my phone with my hair, so I don't get pulled over by highway patrol.

I love new libraries with magical book scanning abilities. Set your book on a pad and somehow the computer knows which book you have? Mesmerizing. Definitely spent a few moments completely befuddled and amazed. However, I miss convo's with the librarians. Maybe they don't have amazing technical abilities but at least they smile.

I love going to the thrift store and not buying anything because I get in there and realize there's nothing I really need.

I love getting in the ridiculously long line that goes out the door at the pharmacy, only to realize I'm in the wrong line. I belong in the short, fast line. Awesome!

I love having a mom who's good at scratching itches.

I love coming up with ideas to redecorate my room, only to realize it won't be my room for long, and soon I'll be out on my own.

I love checking off all the important stuff on my to-do list.




I love today.

So thank you Wednesday. I needed you.
