this morning, i woke up and ...

first reaction: @#*&@! i'm late for school!
second reaction: Lord, i LOVE vacation! (or as seri would say ... i vacation!)
third reaction (as i hear jenie and karen clanging around): snicker snicker. sorry roommates. i'm a turd.

so so so so glad to be RESTING. it's hard to switch into slow mode. in fact, i had to make a list of to-do's on a post-it to help me transition into vacay mode. sad, i know ... but the great part of the list was knowing that i did not having to do every single one of those things today! or really ... i knew that i didn't have to do a single one of those things if i did not feel like it! BEAUTIFUL!

it's a great time to be alive.

1. read lots of good books. (currently reading: "me talk pretty someday" -- david sedaris ... HILARIOUS. be sure to check out the chapter on "the rooster" and ask seri what she made for cuppy.)
