apropos of nothing

Lately, my moods have consistently been crummy. With all of the stressful influences I have in my life these days, I feel like it is pretty important to think about the things that I actually do like. For this reason, I present to you yet another "Things that make me happy right now" list.

Things that make me happy right now, by Rachel Petty

• lemonade (pink or otherwise) with vodka in it
• my husband (even though I don't deserve it)
• pickles
• Elvis the cat
• sundresses
• atheists, or at the very least, people who are willing to acknowledge that if there is a god, he doesn't necessarily have our best interests at heart.
• light at the end of the collegiate tunnel (even if it is really far in the distance)
• blogging
• my back patio with the cute little patio lights
• skeeball
• sunflowers
• of montreal
• Harry Potter (4-eva)
• David Sedaris

This evening, when I was bringing our side dish out of the oven, I seared my knuckle on the oven door. It was insta-blistered, and now every keystroke is killing my finger.

At least tomorrow is Friday, right?
