thebestdayever!

1. After taking nearly a week hiatus, I put on my battered running shoes and went for an awesome morning run, starting my day relaxed and fierce.
2. I thought I was late for class but ended up right on time. The shuffle on the ipod gave me lots of love this morning, which generally puts me in a good mood.
3. Never thought I'd say it, but I like Mrs. Dalloway and it felt nice to recoil my scathing hatred for all that is Virginia Woolf. I doubt I'll be able to do the same for Jane Austen, but you never know.
   
4. Work was so much fun. Aside from hurting my foot playing soccer (I really need to learn to bring tennis shoes to work), everything was awesome. It seemed as though I wouldn't be able to give Dylan his birthday present, but he turned up in the end. I'll have to wait til Tuesday to see if he liked it or not and hopefully I can babysit a couple days a week for them in the summer. I was able to talk to a lot of my favorite kids and realized that the eldest Partin, Nick, is really maturing into a responsible young man. Days like this make me realize how many oppurtunites that job has given me to be touched by the humanity in children. While I have all but lost hope for humanity as a whole, I believe in kids and their power to do good.
   
5. Jendavis and I had the most spectacular Barnes & Noble experience aka Jen telling a pyramid schemer that she really believes that Elvis is still alive, well, and performing and that she in no way uses the internet. She must have felt so baffled. We ran into Lauren Montgomery and that was all in good fun, what an awesome girl.
   
6. Jen and I high-fived about our awesome day at Trader Joe's and were complimented on our authentic enthusiasm. I bought grapefruit juice, because I need my constant stream of ruby red goodness.
   

I am in love with life today. Make no mistakes!
