i figured that since i posted ‘things that suck’ last week, today would be the perfect day to talk about some things that don’t suck at all.
1. getting a morning wake-up call from one of your best friends tellng you that she just delivered her baby. julie and colby are now the proud parents of cooper jeffrey, and madison has a little brother. in the funniest line i’ve heard in a long time, says julie ‘he looks like colby. i feel like i just gave birth to my husband.’ mother and baby are healthy and happy..she was remarkably ‘with it’ two hours after popping a baby out, and i even got to hear lil’ cooper crying in the background. too too precious.
2. starting my car from my bedroom. see, my car is only two years old-new enough to have had keyless entry. but i bought it used, and the remote had been lost or misplaced, or something. in a grand gesture one random day, dad went to saturn and bought me a replacement, but when i went to the dealership to have it programmed, they were confused and baffled to find that for no logical reason, my car did not have the piece it needed for the remote to actually work. they told me i was better off going to circuit city or best buy since i would have to have the whole system installed. so over a year later, i finally decided to shell out the dough to do it. all i wanted was to be able to unlock my doors with a remote. that’s it. but come to find out, pretty much all keyless entry systems now are also remote start systems. i had it installed on wednesday and am still adjusting a bit, but this morning, with the double-click of a button, from my bedroom, i started my car. in theory, we will one day see winter here, and when we do, i think i am going to wonder how i ever survived getting into a cold car!
3. knowing that it’s friday and i don’t have to teach in two days, or two weeks, or even three. my upcoming travels for business and pleasure have me off the hook until mid-december. yay!
