as a crazy weekend ensues

i attempt to keep my bearings. what else is one to do amid such craziness? this craziness consists of much moving of big heavy furniture to and from our home. more from than to so that's always good. but it is e x h a u s t i n g. and i am ready for coziness in my big bed. as i type this tiggy is laying (lying? i am terrible at those verbs...) across my legs and keeping me warm. what would i do without my furry feline blanket??

but. tonight i get to see a bunch of my old friends from college. as in undergraduate college. as in, i haven't seen most of these people in about 6 years (well, except for brian but i haven't seen him in over a year and, well, that is just entirely too long). i am excited. my college friends are fun and funny and i am hoping that tonight is as fun as i think it's going to be.

since the last few days have been slightly less than wonderful i think i need a good list to put things into perspective. today's list is going to be comprised of 5 things that are giving me good reason to smile this very second:

1. tiggy sleeping so peacefully on my legs (duh. i will be smiling about this for days)
2. brian saying, "i think ben is fucking rad so..." doesn't get much better than that
3. the possibility of getting our xmas tree tomorrow :)!!!
4. turkey and all the fixins next saturday...great food + great friends = bliss
5. the chilly december weather we're having makes it impossible not to be in the holiday spirit! i even bought some mistletoe *wink*wink* and have been bundling up. so fun.

well, it was a bit hard to put that all together. because, i could probably easily make a much longer list of things i'm not really happy about at the moment. but. hence the desperate need for the list i compiled. i am happy. healthy. and so grateful for all of the people and things in my life at this moment. even through a grumpy haze it is easy to see that.

happy saturday.
