All You Need Is Love!

My mom emailed me this picture along with some others. None of these animals were previously acquainted. All of them were rescued from the debris from the recent tornado in Kansas. Four dogs and one cat, comforting each other. Proof that we all CAN get along!

Favorite Things

To offset my previous post here are some things I enjoy:

• Nighttime cool summer breezes
• The commercial for Lipton green tea with citrus song. Love it. Also the AT&T song to which I cannot find the name of the artist for. AND the brilliant use of the song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on another commercial.
• Cold fresh tasty water straight out of the tap.
• Large dogs that like to cuddle on couches with me.
• Great movies. Last year's standout was Star Trek for me. This year I have thoroughly enjoyed A-Team, The Losers, Prince of Persia and I am looking forward to Knight and Day.
• Reading. I have recently returned to the public library system and enjoy finding new things to read.
• MUSIC! Technically this should have been first on the list, but last will work too. The only problem with my new favorite music is that I have to listen online because it's all lesser known artists and therefore not available very widely in Utah.

Pet Peeves

My dad and I were talking the other day about our pet peeves so I decided to make a list. Hope it's not too long or unreasonable!

• Time leftover on the microwave. If you don't use it all, zero it out.
• People, especially women, who ask if I am crabby because of "women problems." It's offensive and downright rude. Perhaps I am just having a bad day.
• Dry hands, feet and elbows. Mostly on me, but occasionally on other people.
• People who try and argue with me about things that are totally opinion based and therefore can have no winner. I won't argue with you, I accept that you have a different opinion, please return the favor. (Ex. sports teams, movies, music, etc.)
• The mocking of my penchant for radio stations that don't pander to or assume that people are dumb. When did intelligence become a bad thing?
• Bad spelling. I don't claim to be great, but I know how to use spell check. A recent example was the dating profile I was looking at that proclaimed the guy to be a "knight in shinning armor." Shinning! Sorry, I will hold out for shining armor, not armor meant for the lower legs.

Finally Over

Well, that's it. The school year is over. I was ecstatic and sad. In my class of 12 I had 6 of my students moving on to junior high. The other 6 get to have me next year too! Aren't they lucky? I am excited for the break but am having a hard time without a job to ground me in reality. I don't even know what day it is anymore! I have a bunch of stuff to share so look for more in the days to come. Toodles.

Lovin' It!
