I haven't blogged in a while. You see, I got a job and while I don't have many hours yet, I've had to wake up earlier than I'm used to and I've just been too tired and lazy to blog. But here I am!
Today I want to blog about things I love because, let's face it, who doesn't like loving stuff?
- I love soccer. I just joined an adult soccer league and played in my first game yesterday. I haven't played a real game in a LONG time, so it was great to get on the field again. I'll tell you what, though...I hurt EVERYWHERE today. Turns out it's hard to play soccer when you're out of shape. My muscles are shot. Even my arms, which is curious because I played a sport that frowns upon the use of hands/arms.
- I love being employed. I just got a job as a cashier at Home Depot. While I didn't really want to work retail, it was pretty much all I could find. And let's face it, Home Depot is cool. I'm excited about wearing my orange apron. Most of all I'm excited that I'm not just sitting on the couch day in and day out while my husband works hard for us to have a living. He makes far more than I will, but I feel good that I'm at least contributing somehow. Also, this is the first job I've had in a long time that ain't minimum wage. Pretty stoked about that.
- I love sleep. Not much more I need to say about that.
- I love remembering things from my childhood. I had a dream about Pogs the other day. Those were the bomb. I also remembered playing this computer game we had called Spelling Jungle. Not sure what sparked the memory but it's a good one. While we're on the subject of childhoods, did anyone else put plastic newspaper bags on their feet, secure them with rubberbands, and proceed to sprint around the snow-covered yard with your brothers? I sure did.
- I love my little Sunbeam class. They're small in number and in age, they can drive me crazy on occasion, but at the end of they day I think they are the cutest darned things on the planet. This little boy named Miles...good heavens. I want to take him home with me. His dad dresses him in a semi-skater way with little tiny vans, skinny pants, button up shirts and cardigans. He's got wavy blonde hair, huge dark eyes and the cutest little voice and spirit you'll ever come across. Hopefully one day he'll marry my niece or something.
- Last but not least, I love my dear husband. He is kind, caring, hilarious and observant. I love him more and more every single day. We've been married for three months now! The thing is, it feels like it's been at least three times that long. I mean that in the best way possible, too. I can't wait to spend the rest of forever with him.
- Wait, one more: I really love Slurpees.
Ok, we need another slurpee run. AND guess what? We're using pogs in our water pump in peru. They are called "chipas" here. We bought them off of a little girl in the street because they are the perfect diameter for the pipe. Yeah, this is what they teach us in engineering school :)
