Happiness Pie

Ahh, Leah got me. The right thoughts to get me out of my two-days-isn't-a-funk-FUNK are as follows:

• Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY (in booming Nascar commentary voice) I get to play all day long with my little cousin-person Lana, who is now one and a half! I can't wait to see how she's grown and what she's up to these days.
  
• Saturday night I am going to my best friend's wedding reception, and instead of focusing on not wanting to face the questions about my own love life, and feeling self-conscious in the dress I bought, I am going to focus on how grateful I am that my bestest friend in the whole wide world married someone I love and respect and how excited I am to be able to be part of their life together.
  
• I am reallly looking forward to eating at Bob Evans. As much fun as the diversity of food here was when I first arrived, a very nostalgic part of me misses chain comfort food. :)
  
• When I get back, I am ready to tackle that big creative space. I was going to put paints and brushes on my Christmas list, but phooey, I am going to the art supply store and buying some with my nifty Lill Street membership discount. My final still life came out very satisfactory. It's funny, because my parents have a painting in the family room that I think my great uncle did, and I can see the style similarities ever so subtley displayed. So thanks to DNA for my natural affinity toward art!
  
• Hey,speaking of art, I start drawing classes with my rock star art teacher on September 18th! Yay!
  
• I continue to love my furballs and my WEALTH of friends. I also know how exciting, not scary, it will be to meet a whole new cast of characters when I am ready to move!
