I’ve not been blogging. This is is mostly because the things that have been foremost on my mind for the last 4-6 months have been things I don’t want to blog about–work, results of the big project, medication ups and downs, big red question marks, PCOS battles, etc.
But! I’m going to do the Five Minutes of Happy:
1. Results of the big project are scary but good. More on that later. And, in case you’re wondering, NOT PREGNANT.
2. I’ve read some really good books lately.
3. My sister-in-law gave me a gift subscription to Discover magazine for my birthday, and I am wolfing down each issue. Along with the Christmas gift subscription to Bark. SO. GOOD.
4. Also, my husband gave me the Best Birthday Gift Ever:
If you don’t know what it is, SHAME ON YOU. You should be watching Craig Ferguson more often.
5. The tulip and daffodil shoots survived four or five inches of fresh snow, and they are growing quickly. The bleeding heart is coming up, along with a handful of other perennials I planted last year. It seems like a miracle every single spring.
6. I found something to remove dog hair from my car. My generic Furminator. BEAUTIFUL. This means I will be able to get the car fur-free enough to sell it. This is exciting, because for the last two years I wouldn’t let anyone else even get in the car because the amount of Cab hair was embarrassing, and I hate that car, and Jut hates that car, and now we can be fur-free AND stupid-car free. Once I, uh, actually finish removing the hair. And then get motivated enough to do something about selling it. Like…putting it up for sale.
7. We got tickets to see Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on our ANNIVERSARY in June. I am PUMPED UP to the MAX. The MAX!
8. TYPING LIKE THIS STILL MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.
9. It’s warm enough to open the windows.
Love,

OMG, I saw the picture of the cup and nearly peed myself. You got a rattlesnake cup like CraigyFerg? Your husband is fabulous indeed!!! (Happy Late Birthday!)

Hmmm…I should try the Furminator in Jason’s truck. I bought the Furz-off or whatever it’s called, and it’s basically a gray rock that does remove hair (somewhat) but then leaves this gray gritty, sandy residue everywhere. Waste of ten bucks.

I’m just now remembering how dog hair doesn’t vacuum up from the car-carpet. Huh, I’d forgotten about that…
Rattlesnake cup! You’re hubs is cool.

Opening the windows to sleep last night was the best thing ever. Glad to hear you’re doing well.

Happy birthday!
And yes, open windows make life worth living again. No more pet smell! Just earth and rain and life!
