Office by Alex Penny
A daily one-sentence blog (okay...sometimes two, or three) to help keep me grounded, count my blessings, and remember things that I hope to never forget.
It’s been many days, due mainly to business and forgetfulness. Today I’m thankful that I thought to take an impromptu vacation day, and am enjoying a nice Claritin-induced haze.
Happy = Relaxing day of errands, a long lunch, and snuggling with Gordo.
I am very much looking forward to a free, half-day off work tomorrow. Hooray.
I can’t believe my nephew is about to turn 10 years old. I’m so happy to live closer so that I get to see him more often, because soon he’ll be a teenager who just rolls his eyes at his crazy aunt who always wants to squeeze his adorable cheeks.
Today, I am thankful for the ability to make good and wise decisions, no matter how trivial those decisions may seem.
Getting a good, long night’s worth of sleep when I really need it makes me incredibly happy…even if I am so distracted by all of the sleeping I am doing (yes, with my face shoved in the middle of a book) that I forget to give thanks or make a note of something that’s made me happy recently.
Christopher’s Jerry Jones impression brings me great joy…but Jerry Jones as a zombie, threatening to eat Wade Phillips’ brains? Price. Less.
Saturday: awesome concert with awesome company. Highlight: Sarah Jaffe covers Radiohead.
Three words: Friday. Happy. Night.
Every time I watch a show like Top Chef or Master Chef, I regret not going to culinary school, but then I remember how much I enjoy writing, and I realize that never the two shall marry…unless I were to write a very moving, poetic cookbook. And THEN I realize that this internal confusion about who I am and what I want to do with the rest of my life is just further proof that I am the product of the influence of all of the awesome women in my family who are so very good at so very many things.
