Five Good Things: Summer Vacation Edition
1. SiriusXM Love. You GUYS. Have I talked to you about this already? It’s a whole station devoted to the great ballads of 70s, 80s, and 90s. It’s amazing. They play Celine Dion every minute. Also, “Lady in Red”. Also, a benefit of keeping it on constantly is that sometimes you get to listen to your sister sing “Can’t Stop Loving You” while she tries to cut the tape on a FedEx box with an unsharpened pencil because she couldn’t find the scissors.
2. How when Tom says, “I made dinner,” he means “I made Bagel Bites,” and even though I am not supposed to find that kind of thing charming, I actually really do. Plus he always shares the Bagel Bites.
3. Bill Clinton doing that awesome thing he did this week. I mean, yes clearly Bill Clinton is a dirty old man, but he is a dirty old man who knocked on the door of North Korea and said, “I think you have something that belongs to us.” I freaking love Bill Clinton. There I said it.
4. S t r e t c h i n g. If I know you in real life then odds are I have already whined to you about this, but I’m having all this weirdness with my joints and muscles and basically my whole BODY is a crappity old rubber band you found in your great aunt’s desk and it is kind of papery and has no give left to it at all and when you try to put it around the mail it SNAPS. So…I’m trying to fix that. Toe-touching, breath-taking. You know.
5. Making the most of this long damp summer of ours.

Awesome list. I feel as though I had more to say, but I think you said it all so well.
