TTAA (Things that are awesome)

Hot showers. Being able to throw your toilet paper in the toilet. The beach. Potato chips. Strangers who smile and say “Hi!” Fresh fruit. Coffee. Warm cozy blankets. Random conversations with 22 year old boys who actually seem really grown up. Supportive and helpful friends. Giant burritos. Full out belly-laughing. Sunny days-even when it’s cold. Free WIFI. Hippies. Journals. The first black President. Flip flops. Love. Driving with bare feet.

Go ahead. Make my day.

Hold the door open for someone the next time you walk in a door anywhere. Wait to hold it open for a few extra seconds if a stranger is several steps away, especially if it’s really early in the morning, or cold, even when you’re running really late going in to grab your coffee on the way to work. 

I find the look on peoples faces when you do this is as if you have given them a million dollars. 
One effortless and tiny thing you can do to make someone’s day. The best part? It will make your day.
Yay.

Ahhh… Sundays

A Starbucks grande white mocha has 510 calories and 24 grams of fat. Too much you say? Eh- who cares. It’s Sunday. You’re relaxing. Drink up.

*Any month beginning on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th. 
Boo.

*6% of American workers call in sick the day after the Super Bowl. (Yes, keg-stand are fun, but maybe try one less this year? You probably don’t need any more reason to give your boss to want to fire you in this struggling economy.)
*Super Bowl Sunday is #8 in alcohol sales for holidays/special days of the year behind Easter and Fathers Day. Apparently Dad’s and Granny’s all over the U.S. are throwing back some serious beers and mimosas. (And you football fans thought you were partiers.)
*The Arizona Cardinals originally played in Chicago, then St. Louis, then finally to Phoenix and were not named after the bird. The original team (pre-NFL) purchased used maroon jerseys from the University of Chicago to wear. When someone scoffed that the jerseys were “faded red”, team owner Chris O’Brian countered that they were “cardinal red”.
