Harry Potter!!

24 hours from now I will be sitting in the theater watching Harry Potter. Midnight premiere.
YES!

Raindrops on Roses

I'm generally a pretty happy person. I have my ups and my downs of course, but I usually try to smile. (Okay, not entirely true. Ask my family.) Last week, however, I hit a low that made being in the trough in a kayak in ten foot seas seem tolerable.
Being back at the top of the swell again, I've compiled a list of things that make me happy (in no particular order).

1. My bike and my work

Yes, this is the time than Charlie saran wrapped my (sister's) bike to the post at Kingfisher. If you're having a bad day, you can be glad that at least your coworkers don't do that to you, or that maybe you have a car, or maybe that you do have to bike or walk and are in better shape because of it. See that, folks? We're finding the silver lining.
Lucky for me, serving at the lodge really does put me in a better mood.

2. At least my bad hair day is better than Alexa's.

This is Alexa, Brittany's kitty. She has (had) the world's worst matts and Mom recently took the clippers to them. Poor thing.

3. My family.

With them around, any grey day can be an adventure.

Here are some more ideas for cheering yourself up:
-Go on a hike. Watch out for bears.
-Get certified in something. It takes just $10 to get a State of Alaska Food Handler's Card!
-Dye a strip of your hair purple.
-Read a good book.
-Read a better book.
-Read a best book! Haha...gotta love the Scriptures.
-Cut up a t-shirt into something exciting.
-Sew beads onto your normal clothes so they're a little funky.
-Try making syrup over the stove. It's really pretty....

I've obviously lost it. I'm happy, but pretty sleep deprived, so enough of these musings.

Mucho love-o.
